Lake Tahoe is another consideration..... I would also like to help put it together.

Diane Belmonte (Patterson)

Exactly where and when is the Reunion get together?   I would like to book my reservtions asap.

Hope we have somewhat of a good response.   Diane Belmonte

Bill Harrison (Harrison)

Based on feedback from classmates, there will be no formal 55th reunion this year. However, you can join us at the Lake Forest Day Beer Garden the evening of Aug 3, 2016 for an optional, informal get together.

Peter Langer

Is there a list of people who are expected to be at the Lake Forest Day get together at the beer tent on August 3rd? To me a High school reunion is a homecoming. Otherwise we might as well have in some nice place like Fiji or Australia.

Susan Leonowitz (Adams)

Here's a thought--since some of us may be past the point of beer gardens, I was wondering if we might meet informally at a restaurant in town. I was thinking of The Silo, but I'm not really familiar with other restaurants in the area. We could meet around 3 p.m., a time which should not be very busy on a Wed. afternoon. Those who would want to go to the tent could do that in the evening. I know that I would just prefer air-conditioning, a nice chair, and easy acess to food/drink. I think Peter's idea of trying to get a list of those who are planning to attend is a good idea. Anyway...just a thought!

Bill Harrison (Harrison)

Great idea! How about this: I will post a list as an announcement. Whoever reads this and plans to attend, respond to this message and I will add you to the list for everyone to see on the home page. So far we have Aug 3, 3 pm at the Silo. Sue, I will put you on the list if that's OK.

Kris Shoulberg (Brown)

Hi all! Ernie and I will be in Florida on Lake Forest Day, so I'll miss seeing any of you who meet up! Enjoy the day and hugs to all of my LFHS Class of '61 friends! Cheers! Kris (Shoulberg) Brown

Steven Spaner

Regrettably, I will be in Stockholm Sweden on the 3rd visiting my brother Roger and seeing the newest addition to our family, my niece Hanna's two month old daughter Edith.

Bob White

I'll see you guys at the Silo.

Bruce Sharer

Wish I could join you at the Silo. It would be a mind blowing experience to get reacquainted with the few of you who I knew from my five years living in lake Bluff and my freshman year at LFHS. I'm guessing that most of you would not remember me. I was quiet and awkward, and didn't stand out. I was in Mr. Robien's homeroom. I was fortunate to be able to reconnect over the past few years with Robbie Patelke (before he passed), John Barr in California, and Tod Steussy in Columbus, Ohio last year.

I took some time going through the Classmate Profiles to see who I remembered from byfreshman year and time in Lake Bluff. Here is a list, but don't feel bad if my memory faild me.

Terry Ahlberg
John Barr
Barbara Bosse
Horace Cathcart
Karen Cray
Ira Cushing
Ginny Dangermond
Neal Dickenson
Tom Dunkerton
Paul Finch
Paul Frederick
Fred Gardner
Ed Holstein
Carol Leach
Bernie McGovern
Terry Rogan
Jim Schwechel
Tod Steussy
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen
Larry Trezise
Terry Trobec
Bob Tucker
Robert Weisenbach
Jenny Werhane
Bob White
Louise Wolverton

And those who are no longer with us:

Dennis Boggs
Tom Brunet
Dennis Conley
Paul Kristulovich
Randy Kwiatt
Nellie Mink
Robbie patelke
Jerry Piepenbrock
Chuck Requa
Ed Risty
Steve Ritter
Sharon Tjaden

I hope you all have a wonderful time next month at the reunion. I will try to make the next one.

Best Regards, Bruce

August 2, 2017 is on my calendar. The advance notice gives plenty of time to plan for the event.

Kris Shoulberg (Brown)

Great video, Cuz! Sorry I missed the fun get-together! Cheers!

Steven Spaner

Confirm Peter's response:  August 2, 2017 is now on my calendar.  Sorry to have missed 2016 mini-reunion.  Swedish family took priority.  Steve

Hi All! Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend due to a prior commitment. I will be in Toronto that week attending a  meeting of the National Bar Association. Sorry! Have a great time and I'll look forward to hearing everything at our next luncheon! 

Kris Shoulberg (Brown)

Hi Classmates! Unfortunately I will not be able to join you at the Silo. We live in Sarasota, Florida full-time now and won't be coming up to LF this summer. I'll be thinking about you! Cheers to the LFHS Class of 1961! Have fun!
