   Hey, Lady! I've been better, I must say.....

45-Year Reunion of the NNHS Class of 1965 

The Reunion Committee of the Class of 1965 is pleased to announce the plans for the 45-Year Reunion on October 15 and 16, 2010.  As we began planning for this event we were contacted by many class members concerned about the potential costs involved.  The economy has certainly been poor and is a factor in all decisions.  For those that have to travel the expense for that is a further consideration.  We've also heard from a few classmates that have never made it to a previous reunion, and wanted to get them here. 

We made the decision that the most important reason for the reunion is to provide an opportunity to gather and catch up with our friends.  This weekend will be casual as well as easy on the budget.  Friday evening we will meet at R.J.'s Restaurant and Sports Bar.  This location has a large collection of athletic photos and memorabilia from NNHS (and a few of those other schools).  Each person will be able to order food and drink from the menu, and R.J. has agreed to reserve a section for our group.  The only cost will be what you choose to eat and drink.  The company will be priceless. 

Saturday will be spent at Newport News Park.  We've reserved a group shelter that can seat 150 people with sufficient cover to take care of any weather concerns.  If you made it to the 55^th Birthday Party you'll recall it was held at the Park in one of the smaller shelters.  The facility we're using this time is a new addition and will give us lots of flexibility to meet and reminisce.  The cost of this event is $15.00 per person through August 31, 2010.  After that date the cost will be $20.00 per person.  The charge for Saturday will cover your food and beverages.  Checks should be made payable to NNHS Class of 1965, and mailed to Dave Arnold, 153 Exmoor Court, Williamsburg, VA 23185-3863.  He may also be reached at  757 618-6646, or captarnold@vprj.net.  Once funds have been received you'll be contacted with a confirmation and additional information.  If you know of members who don't have access to the web site please get in touch with them and encourage them to come to the reunion. 
 
We'll also be posting a listing of hotels in the area of our two locations.  By making your own arrangements you'll be able to control some of your costs for the event.  This will also minimize the amount of travel to get to the venues. 

Finally, this will be an open reunion.  Each year we lose members of the class, as do those before and after ours.  We were once a big family regardless of graduating class and we'd like to continue that past history.  We cordially invite any of the Typhoon Nation to join us on October 15^th and 16^th.  We look forward to seeing you then.

    It was followed by my Famous Last Words, "I'll be adding this to the Reunion Page soon! ".

   And then, of course, I never did.....

   But I will soon. And no, I'll not be able to make it.

   Thanks for the nudge, Sarah Sugah!

Hi Carol....   Just got notice this week that Hampton HS '65 is planning a 45th reunion for July 23 and 24, 2010.  The invitation was sent from Barbara Shelton Marko via classmates so hopefully others will get the word via the alumni grapevine.  Today was added that the 7/23 gathering will be at the Hampton History Museum.  Anyone interested should check the 'Reunion' tab on 'cm' for updates and contact info.    Ummm, I didn't quite follow how to find that, Bonnie.....   I pulled out my Hampton HS 1965 Commencement booklet (yes I do have it yet)....our commencement was on Thursday Evening, June 10, 1965 at 8:00 o'clock.  The booklet lists 327 female and 265 male graduates.    A sad note, my dear old friend and prom date, Nick Ferraro, a fellow 1965 graduate, passed away in Hampton on 5/6/10.   Thank you Carol....   Bonnie Loughran Marshall HHS 65
