Thank You

Many thanks to those of you who responded so promptly to our recent email requests to notify the reunion committee of 1) any additions and/or corrections to our class list, and 2) any desires for room reservations during our gathering on July 15 and 16.  The messages were so numerous that it was difficult keeping a good record.  We will likely send out another email with the corrections/additions.  

It sounds as if many of you will be here on Friday the 15th, with some even staying around an extra day or two.  Paula (Hoffman) Platz's facebook page    Brookings High School Class of 1969 Rockin' Reunion 2016, seems to have attracted a great deal of interest and attention, also.  Be sure to follow her postings if you are on facebook. 

If you decide you need a room, please let us know how many nights you will staying, and if anyone else will be accompanying you.  We are going to visit the hotels to decide which one best suits our needs.  We will let you know which establishment that is, and who is on the reserved list,so we can make any corrections before it may be too late.  

Just a reminder that we are planning an informal sessions on the evening of July 15 at our designated hotel, while the official reunion/birthday party will be July 16. We especially want to recognize those classmates who are no longer with us. Any suggestions as to how we should do this?  If you have any memorabilia that you think would be appropriate, and don't mind lugging it along, please bring it.  We have a number of items from previous reunions, be we could always use additional material.  We also plan to invite those teachers who are still in the area.  Any objections?  We can also arrange tours of the "old" high and "new" high school if there is sufficient interest.  Do not hesitate to let us know what your preferences may be, or if you have some other suggestions that may be beneficial.  Lastly, if you have been in contact with any students who left before graduation, please invite them.    A few of them have already been found, and have indicated that they are anxious to come back to see everyone. Thanks to those of you who have informed us as to the whereabouts of these former classmates. 

It was mentioned at our last meeting that the #1 song for all of 1969 was Sugar, Sugar by the Archies
(http://www.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_number_one_song_in_1969).  Some sources list 16 different songs that ranked #1 during that year.  Anyone know what the last #1 song of 1969 was?

We will keep everyone posted on the progress of our collaborations.
