It's Almost Reunion Time

In just over two weeks the 60th Anniversary and Reunion of the UCHS Class of '57 will take place. I haven't heard the latest count of sure-fire, got-in-line, paid reservations count. It's the "paid" part that counts. The committee will have to guarantee (and pay for) a certain number of attendees at Meadowbrook. I'm not in touch with the committee, but if you have said you are coming but you have not paid, you might just be out-of-luck. Remember, when you visit St. Louis, be mindful of where you are. Don't leave your valuables in sight in your car. Maybe, don't leave them in your car at all. Watch where you drive - keep your doors locked and your windows up. When you stop, don't stop right on the bumper of the car in front of you. Keep your escape path open. Decide - in advance - what you will do if a carjacker tries to open your car door. I may go to Forest Park to admire the statue of St. Louis. One of my all-time favorite photographs

Register (and pay) Early

What does R.S.V.P. mean? Anyone? Répondez s'il vous plaît  It's a request for your response. The Reunion Committee would like to know whether or not you are coming. Reminders are being emailed to register early for the UCHS Class of '57 Reunion early. Why register early? It eases the workload on those who have volunteered to make this event happen. It helps them give the caterer at Meadowbrook Country Club an advance estimate for food and services. There is an evening function on Saturday, September 2, followed by a brunch on Sunday, September 3. If you register and pay, but will not be attending both, please say so. I don't think there will be a pay-at-the-door opportunity. An accurate headcount for the caterer is needed in advance. If you don't pay in advance, the assumption will be that you will not be attending. And please send it your contact information, whether or not you will attend.

City High School Reunion, Class of 1957, we are planning a FLYNN PARK REUNION on Saturday morning, September 2, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at our old school.  This WILL NOT conflict with any U. City Reunion plans.  We are going to have juice, coffee, doughnuts, etc. - not too much food since we don't want to talk with our mouths full - Mrs. Rossi wouldn't approve of that!
