Hi everyone! Ron Grovenor here, I checked with Embassy suites of the number of reservations for the reunion. Only ten so far! I hope this means that most alumni still live in the area! I'll arrive on the 28th. A special hello to Joan Peterson! Hope to see you there!

Hi Ron Grovenor...Noticed a couple of your postings on this message board. Actually there is a specific website for the Class of 1975. If you scroll to the top of this page and click on the "Find Your Class" tab you can actually pick the class year 1975 which has its own Class Notes/Message Board. The reunion company was only offered so many rooms at the Embassy Suites which would be "blocked" for our class. We had twenty rooms which have all been booked by alumni and they added five more today and that is the most they will offer. The list of reservations for the reunion event far exceeds the number of rooms reserved. It should be a great time. Also Pam and Bill Meeker are from the Class of 1976. Bill Meeker, as you know, actually set up this great website, however, he and Pam are not involved in the organizing of the Class of 1975 Reunion. If you have any questions or we can assist you further, please feel free to go to page for our class and post your questions. Glad to hear you plan to travel from Arizona to KC for the event, Ron. Look forward to seeing you...Class of 1975 Reunion Committee.

Ron Grovenor...Not a problem, you may post wherever you like on the website. You happened to make specific reference to classmates of 1975 and our reunion in particular so we wanted to make sure you were aware that there is a message board specific to each class...that's all. Not sure others are aware of that. Once again, glad to hear you are planning on coming to the reunion this week. Look forward to having you there. Safe travels...Class of 1975 Reunion Committee

A very sad note from the Class of 1983: Obituary Published in the Kansas City Star on 11/3/2005 Jon Brian Murphy, loving father, husband, son, brother, and friend to all, joined his brother, Patrick, in Heaven on November 1, 2005.

John, You might try and see if there is someone in your class who can get their hands on the Commencement Bulletin for your class. That, or you can make a list of your classmates from the Sachem. Who was the head of your committee at your last reunion? Perhaps they have a data base. Once you have compiled some sort of list you can contact a reunion company such as Class Act Reunions 913 851-4244 and they are really helpful in launching reunion ideas and their price is incorporated into ticket sales and is quite reasonable. Talk to Bill Creason. Good Luck to you. It's a lot of work, but definitely worth the effort. Class of 1975 Reunion Committee.

I've searched high and low for folks over on classmates.com where many of us are listed but not many have paid for accounts! I have been in contact with Chantel Pruitt and Leroy Ewell for the past 5 months. Hi Eric Hudson and George Lovelace, your names are familiar to me, Hi also to who used to be Helena Reed. Oops, my name is Elisa Mendoza (Gilliland) and can I be reached through classmates.com or at emngg@yahoo.com If you have ANY contact information for Anyone you may still be in touch with from '88 and/or '89, please email me the info so I can start contacting as many people as possible. I would love help on this! I used to hang out with Erika Adair (& her cuz John Rhodes), Robyn Young, Sawn Winfield, Tammy Boyer, Monique Moore, Denise Rector, Leroy & Elroy Ewell (from the old neighborhood), dated Bret Thompson, Rami Shukair, Eddie Hinecker to name a few...the rumors were never true! I never "made it" with ANY ONE of them EVER and I was never pregnant! It wasn't until after SWHS that I began a more intimate relationship with guys. Just an FYI! I also know Darrell Wilson (from '90), Tony & Pete Pozos, and Most of the Senior Class of '86 through my big sis Anna Mendoza! I would appreciate hearing from ALL who are interested, let's get this together! emg

******************Class of 1990**************** Is there anyone out there from the class of 1990. My name is Chris Link. I joined the Army and moved away right after high school and haven't been back. An old friend from school (Mike Chalk) called me the other day and we had a good time catching up. I'd really enjoy catching up with some more of you. If there is anyone else that would like to reminisce, please contact me. I was told the school is closed, how sad. Had a lot of good times there. Shoot me an e-mail cslddl@bellsouth.net I know it is a ways off yet but is anyone working on our 20 year reunion? I wasn't able to make the 10 year due to military obligations at the time. I will definately make the 20, if there is one.

Hey there, This is Rick Huyett class of 72'. Does any one know what happened to Mark Bowman? He seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I am also interested in finding John Duddley (class of 71') he used to live around the corner from me on Greenway Terr. Sorry I couldn't make the 35 year get together.
