Came up to Donner to stain the deck and get ready for summer. Snow is finally gone around the place. The Corcoran Journal, Hanford Sentinel, Visalia Times are supppose to run announcement of the reunion next week. Hope it generates some action..Just Barbara so far!

Batting Lead Off is Barbara Goodrich Weaver...just got her check for the reunion..who will be next?? I sent emails to all on the class list. these came back to me...Shirley Alexander Dunehew..Betty Gibson...ED Harris..any help here? Those with positive emails will get a message from me with the sign up info in an attachment. I will go postal to all the other addresses. If you know of any changes just forward the info..thanks for your help.

I offer big apology to David for referring to him as our top techie. He is a professionally trained engineer and I know that but mispoke. He still is the best we know and he really is the driving force behind our efforts to keep in touch with each other. Thanks David.

I gave David the final info for the Sept 22 reunion and in just hours he had it posted to the site. Good job! Thanks David, you are most important techie in our group. I encourage all classmates to sign up for the event soon. Get your room if you need one and send me the check to reserve a place. Send a message to all your CUHS friends or sibs and make this a good time for all. The room can seat 120 people. Last Fall the class of 53? had about 65. With our expanded years we could reach capacity. Our class will have informal, hang time on Friday and dinner on our own, then more hang time.

Hello everyone . . . I hope all you wonderful ladies had a great Mothers' Day! It has to be one of the busiest days of the year for many businesses!If you ladies got together and made mothers day happen every month we would be out of this recession!

Had the honor to talk to Ann Parraz Silva yesterday about her birthday tomorrow.
I’m not sure, but I think she said she had three daughters. Celebrating birthday and mothers day over the same weekend.
During our discussion about the reunion coming up, Wayne was mentioned. Turns out she has a daughter in Lincoln.
Hope to see her at the reunion.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON THE BIG ONE ANN !!!

The site page for the upcoming reunion has been updated to show partial Sept 21 & 22 schedules.
Also, room cost and payment options ( phone or online ) are given. Go to events and click on 2012.

David, I se Bill sent you the pictures I took and gave to him long ago. That ws when I got interested in photos. Hey all you good people. Please send to David some photos that show how life was for you in Corcoran. The town, parades, events, life at school..we want to have a good video for the reunion. You can send him copies, emails, attach a file..sounds like I know what to do but we all have grandkids to help us do this. Help us out.. Stretch and I will talk over strategy at the Sacramento Jazz Festival on Memorial Day weekend. Be well!

Classmates..if you or member of the class has changed mailing address please inform David so he can make changes for postal mail. I will be mailing to all classmates soon the details of Sept 22. David will keep the info posted on the webb site. Alert your friends to look at the site to gather info about attending our Reunion of the 50's. Good health to you all...wc

Tried to call John Wesley Jones yesterday to wish him a Happy Birthday. Didn’t get an answer.
I think we are all afraid to answer a phone call from an area code that you don’t recognize.
So, I’ll use the forum to say Happy Birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN WESLEY JONES

Classsmates I just spoke with Mr. Appodaca at Holiday Inn and he assured me we had a block of 20 rooms for Friday and Sat. The number to call is 559-651-5000. I had David put my email on the info site for classmates to contact me. The ATT address I was using was getting wiped out by Yahoo and I had to sign up each time I logged on. So my google address will be used to contact me.

Wayne as bad as the Chono image is I should be paid for messing with it. But, don’t fear Strech is mailing the originals to me for reconstruction.

Darrel Tiffin lives in Madera and has had no contact with the class since 1956.
How many of you drive pass Madera every year?
I talked to him a short while back. We talked about the coming reunion and the fact he has atteded numerous meeting at the Holiday Inn at Visalia airport.
He was really surprised his old friend Henry C lived so close to him in Clovis.
All Y’all Don’t Get Disconnected.
Stay In Touch


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREL

Hey! I took that picture of Chono's laundry back in the 80's. Royalties??

Planning to have some activities for class of 56 on Friday afternoon and evening. the sat dinner will be for all classes. I hope our out of town classmates can come for 2 days. wc

Is the reunion for 1 day (the 22) or does it entail several days? Need to know before making reservations.

Wow! My birthday and the Super Moon on the same day. Thanks to the supreme power for makin this happen. I remember the big super moon rising over the southern Sierras on a warm summer night in ol Corcoran. Might have been out on the levee or on the softball field but the moon lit up the entire sky. News coming soon on details for the Sept 22 reunion. You can start making your hotel reservations anytime. Just tell the Holiday Inn Visalia you are with Corcoran of the 50's. I will give David info for the webb site.

TO CELEBRATE WAYNE'S BIRTHDAY---SINKHOLE DE FLORIDA:
TOMORROW IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER FULL MOON!
THE BIGGEST OF 2012 -- ONLY 221,000 MILES AWAY.
THE BEST TIME FOR YOU TO VIEW WILL BE 11:34 PM EDT.
BEWARE OF THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL (EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS, CYCLONES, TORNADOES, VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS AND FULL-MOON-FEVER).
THINGS COULD GET UGLY. SO BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, BAR THE WINDOWS, AND MAKE SURE THE ANIMALS ARE KEPT INSIDE OR THEY MIGHT GET BLOWN AWAY OR EATEN BY THE VAMPIRES.

DAVID, KEEPING YOU INFORMED!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAYNE.

SO DO I!

Yes Jacque,
Rosemary bought 3 at a garage sale. Two had dates from the 50’s on them and they all had a price of $.90 each. She didn’t want the one without the date and the seller offered it to her at half price. We discovered later the one without the date was the first one made. The other two were sold for about $50 each.
She knew the julep glasses were collectable before then.
Rosemary purchased pretty thing and I purchased neat things. I could be looking at a toy train and she would tell me it was pretty. I’d put it back and tell her I didn’t buy pretty trains. I miss her.

David is that the glass you & Rosemary found at a garage sale?
