To partially answer Sherry's question, look at the Classmates & Friends tab. In the list at the bottom, anyone with a white-on-black "person" icon (like the one in the green box) next to their name is registered for an event. At the top of that page (shown here), you can filter the whole list to just show people registered for a given event. Note that these counts are just the "classmates and friends" listed; a number of people are bringing guests and the counts do not include them.

Cruise Information that wouldn't fit in the 50th Reunion tab - cruise is a one hour trip - 3 miles - on the paddleboat, Minnie Ha Ha. There is currently an ample number of available seats. Parking is near the entrance - 57 Beach Road (however the 10:00 trip will not arrive back until 11:00 so plan time to find a spot and then get to the boat). Also seating can not be reserved so if you want seats by specific people, take that into account.

Hi Kevin, I signed up for football game on Friday night, but I'm not sure I'll be in town soon enough to make the game. I'm stopping at Yale University enroute to visit my granddaughter Friday for family weekend. Of course it's the same weekend as our reunion, so I'm trying to fit both in!! Hopefully, I'll be in town in time for pub gathering. What time will that be?  DonnaWB

Danny, if you can tell me Robin's email address, we can add her.

I've been following the organizing and hard work you all are putting into this 50th year event...hats off to the Blood, Sweat, and Tears (sorry, had to put a musical reference in there from the era) that it takes to bring all this together. I've been unsure if I could make the celebration due to obligations here in the southernmost, so have not responded either way till now...unfortunately too many irons in the fire prevent me from escaping for a few days. What a nostalgic joy to watch the interactions and messages being sent back and forth, especially folks I've forgotten were part of our class!!!, (that's what 50 years will do to a memory). Except for a few exceptions I've lost touch with most of you, but am thrilled to see so many who have prospered, and are still in this great big world! Ours was a perfect era to be high schoolers....Have a great reunion and a sincere thank you for all the extraordinary recollections just hearing your names has spurred. Peace.

Hey, Pete, good to hear from you! Thanks for the well wishes and back to you. We will miss you!

Hello all,

I want add my thanks to you all who have worked on our reunion gathering. I am looking forward to seeing classmates and hope if anyone is "on the fence" they will make that happy decision to go!

Here's to seeing you in October!

Greetings from Texas to my fellow "Class of '73" South High classmates!  I hope that my note finds you all well and thriving.  I am disappointed to write that I will not be attending our 50^th Class Reunion.  The multiple activities sound amazing and I thank all of you who have worked so hard pulling everything together.  You know, this event is actually quite profound for us as we look back half-a-century on a slice of time spent together in a small place on this planet that we all shared during our formative years.  It was generally a wholesome and innocent time in America that I hope you all cherish (reminds me of a 1966 song) as I do.  Enjoy our celebration that no one can share with us; it was our time and place.  Warm hugs to each of you and … keep charging forward, Bulldogs!

What time is the Friday night at Common Roots event?  We will probably be late getting there so we are also wondering how long it will last.  Thanks!

Daniel Cottrell

Common Roots get together is scheduled for Friday night , beginning about 4 and continuing until about 6:30 pm. People can then go to the home football game @7pm  v Queensbury if they choose. When at CR you can let me know if you are interested in attending the game and I will create a "pass list" so admission will be free. Those wishing to stay at CR are more than welcome to do so. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Still available 50th REUNION Dinner Dance Sat night, You can still register to attend thru this Friday 9/29.

(The caterer has extended our deadline to pay for our final count.)

David Calhoun

You got that right Danny. Many dropped off the "radar" the day they graduated. Many were popular back then too. I am surprised that there are so many? 

Keith Gilligan

Danny , 

What you don't realize is that a lot of our classmates only visit this site occasionally so they might not see your message for weeks . See you tomorrow 

Sharon/Sherry Hiter (Neble)

I sent a private message to Regina & didn't get a reply either. It is disappointing to spend time trying find & then notify a classmate & when you don't hear anything back , it does leave you not knowing ?  I hope that all  is well with their health & their family & then I assume they don't want to reply for some unknown  reason . ( not sure why they are registered on this site ?) 

re how often someone gets messages: I think it depends on how the person set-up notifications on this web site, you can be notified anytime someone sends a message or not. ( Kevin would know better)

I did hear back from Tobi Irwin, who said she couldn't make it Sat night & I suggested other reunion events Fri, but sadly she can't make it. Janet Orsini responded she isn't sure. Kathleen Mound is not coming to dinner but is coming to breakfast. I heard from Tim Bishop & Dan Villa & hoped they would each come but guess not ?Roger would have come but has family conflict, I heard from Bob Knapp & he isn't coming ( he said Bonnie Lawrence knows about this reunion web site ) i reached out to Debbie Wheeler, Ralph Ball and others who were on Classmates.com but haven't heard back? 

i never found Patrick O'leary or Roseanne Bennett or Jeff Broulette ?? 

I also have not heard back from many including John Izzo & Marilyn Dick. 

Kevin Chamberlain

Even with the extension the caterer gave us, TODAY (9/29) is the LAST CHANCE to register for the reunion dinner!

Laura Gersten

Hello Classmates,    
Appears you have worked hard setting up the 50th reunion. Hopeful, you do get a great turnout. We have been in Europe this month and just returned. Sorry to say unable to make the reunion. We were suppose to be in NYC this week, but due to a health concern that occurred with my husband we have cancelled.  My best to all and wishing you a fun and safe 50th reunion.

Looks like I just missed the dinner deadline. Bummer!!! Are all the other events still open?

Sharon/Sherry Hiter (Neble)

Dawn, re the dinner, it's not too late because I contacted the caterer & told her to hold extra 1 or 2 for you until we heard back from you?? But We really have to know, do you still want to attend the dinner, if so 1 or 2 people?  if not, please tell us asap or we will have to pay for your dinner even if you don't attend. 

Dawn Windnagle (Swehla)

Oh thank you! How do I pay? I didn't see any button for that on the link.

I contacted Kathy Mahoney (Michalski) and she will not be able to attend our 50th reunion due to family commitments.
