Dear IHS '64 Classmates,
Wow -- really WISH we had lots of good news to share; however, we are fairly certain that we are all feeling anxious about the health of ourselves, our families and our communities. Guess the better news is that most of us are retired so we are not at risk of losing or not having a job. We are hopeful that all of you are monitoring your own health closely and following the guidelines of the governmental body in your area.
We offer our condolences to Randy/Sherry Cason and Vivian/Dennie Crawford on the death of their granddaughter London Grace Burge in April. Our prayers and thoughts are with all family members especially her young son.
Needless to say, the monthly luncheon scheduled for May 9th is canceled. We guess the future of our luncheons will be dependent upon the opening of restaurants and the number of people that can be seated. While we still have memories of our last class reunion being "rained on" and many people cancelling attending because of the threat of the hurricane, we now are having to cancel all future gatherings for awhile. Since we can't meet in person, it is even MORE important to stay in touch via social media, phone calls or even letters (remember those??). Connecting with others is a great way to fight the "cabin fever" that we are all feeling.
We do want to remind everyone to stay safe, well, healthy and ..... in-touch.
Reunion Committee

Send us your data for our database
We published a 50th Reunion Booklet that was given out to everyone at the July event and wanted to include as many listings as possible. If you weren't listed or want to change data - addresses, phone numbers, family info, and what you've been doing, please contact us. Many of you have been contacted recently via phone or email by the Reunion Committee and we have up to date reports. However, there area a lot of folks with old data on file, so if you haven't already done so, please send us your data using our convenient new online form or the traditional printed "snail mail" version. We would hope that most folks will use the online form since it reduces the amount of typing the committee volunteers have to do!
See the section above for several ways to send us your data.

Missing Indians
We've maintained and updated the old classmates list from our 50th reunion and will use it and recent information to keep our database current. A list of "Missing Indians" has been posted and will be updated each week as we find people and move them to the "found" list. Please help us find the missing classmates and faculty members.
Send photos and news
In case you haven't visited our Gallery Pages, there are many photos there that classmates have scanned and emailed to us for everyone to see. Send us your photos along with captions. Scan at 300 dpi or less to keep the size down. Send to ihs1964@yahoo.com .
Everyone likes to read news about their friends from school, especially if they are out of touch or far away. So, send us news to include on our website. Just email to ihs1964@yahoo.com . |
