INSTALLMENT #1 (of 10) OF THE LIST OF THE MISSING

Don't get me wrong, the group we had at our 45-year reunion was fantastic. The most commonly mentioned thing that we can do to make our next reunion better, though, is to get more of our old classmates to show up. We've got some time, but it's a big effort to get a more comprehensive contact list!

What we're proposing to do is post lists of classmates for whom we have no contact information, starting with the one below.

As of now, we have at least some sort of contact capability with over half of our graduating class. I'll post ten lists of names of 71 Buffs that we have no way to contact. Here's the first, going in reverse alphabetical order by 1971 Surname:

Barbara Zindell
Penelope Wright
Barbara Work
Toni Williams
Steve Wilkins
Joyce Whittle
Dennis White
Linda West
Gary Wady
Mike Visnauskas
Caroline Vasquez
Kathleen Varin
Connie Unruh
Bill Uhrinyak
Susan Uhlig
Nancy Torgersen
Ronda Thomas
Russel Taylor
Kathy Swart
Patricia Sutton

If you can help us contact any of these folks, please let us know, here or by writing to ths71reunion@gmail.com. Thanks!

Happy Anniversary!

It was 45 years ago today! We're still going strong. 

'71 Buffs forever!!!

First Step in Planning for 50

I think our 45-year reunion was very, very successful!

Now, while the events are still pretty fresh in our minds, and as our next big shindig (a 50-year reunion!) enters the planning phase, I'd like to solicit some feedback about last month's 45. Let's make the 50 bigger and better! Post comments here, or send e-mail to ths71reunion@gmail.com. Thanks 71 buffs!

A Little Reunion Humor

THS Reunion Attendees as of Friday, March 25

The list below is still growing, and doesn't include various spouses and other guests that bring the current total to 97 people!  Send an e-mail to ths71reunion@gmail.com to reserve your spot!

Reunion Activity Schedule, April 15-16

Get out your day planners and other activity calendars, here are two fun-filled days to write in:

Friday, April 15, 3:30pm - Tempe High School Campus Tour

Dr. Stacia Wilson, current THS principal, has approved a campus tour to help us celebrate our 45-year reunion. We are to assemble in the main office and check in with Administrator, Rosie Guzman. The tour starts at 3:30 pm on Friday April 15, so folks should plan to arrive by 3:15. There is visitor parking in front of the admin office, which is still located next to the auditorium, right on the corner of Mill and Broadway. Lots of other things have changed as we will discover!!!

Friday, April 15, Following (or for some during?) the Campus Tour:  Happy Hour

Remember this place? Back in our day, it was called Varsity Inn, and before that Village Inn, and it may have had other names, too. But now it's called the Vine Tavern and Eatery, and it has a web site:

http://vinetavern.com/rural-apache/

If you look at their information, you'll see that their happy hour runs from 3:00-7:00, so it overlaps the THS campus tour that will start at 3:30. Everyone is on their own to decide how to handle that, but it's a quick commute between the two.

Saturday, April 16, 7:00am - Reunion Hike from Pima Canyon Trailhead

(See the previous post about this)

Saturday, April 16, 5:00pm - 10:00(ish) - the Main Event at Rolling Hills Clubhouse

The evening will feature live music, a buffet dinner and lots of miscellaneous entertainment of all kinds. There is a $35 per person charge to participate, which covers dinner and soft drinks, but a cash bar will be serving those who desire other beverages. 

Try to arrive in a timely fashion, as the group photo will be taken at 5:45 while the light is still favorable. A full program for the evening will be published soon!

You won't want to miss this, as there will be over 60 of our classmates, several faculty, and a variety of guests totalling nearly 100 people in all!  Reserve your spot by e-mailing ths71reunion@gmail.com.
