8/19: I said that I'd get back with the response from the last group e-mail, and 1st "snail" mailing. Thought what I would do is to list all of our class members, and indicate those who have responded. This may take me a few days to complete, as it's a busy time of year (even for a retired person). After I have completed the list, I'd like those of you who visit the website, to remember, and follow up on what Mike Finnerty said at our 45th reunion - something to the effect that each of us should make it a point to work on people who are not here, and get them here for our 50th (didn't put it in quotes Mike, but I think that was the point you were making). It's also important to remember those classmates who left us before graduation. In just the past 3 months, we made contact with Jim Yager, and Kathi (Scanlon) Smith. It will be with every one's help that we'll have a great turnout next August.
Key: * = sent email or letter, and received a response; ** = sent email or letter, was not "undeliverable," but have not received a response; *** = have no information for, could not send an email or letter.
Below are responses received from the April 4th e-mail:
April 22: Of 78 people contacted, only 23 responses (less than 1/3) after more than 2 weeks. I know we can do better than that!
May 10: Getting a little nervous with a lack of responses from quite a few classmates.
I was sure we'd have at least as many attending our 50th as we did our 45th, but that
isn't the case as of now. Anybody out there that would like to pick a name or 2, and give a little bit of a prod, I'd appreciate your efforts.
June 5: Checks are due by June 30th for all of you who are planning to attend the Saturday night function at Putnam National - $70.00 per person - make out to:
MHS-45th Reunion
July 20: Two weeks, 2 days to go. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I apologize if I left out any name/s. If I did, please get back to me. Now is the time for you to pick a name, or two, and see if you can't make a contact.
I will make an attempt to update the above list as I get responses.
8/22: Well, here we go again. Schaiewitz sends this pic of his "super senior agility." I have a feeling that Valerie is responsible for this 'photo - shop' rendition of "in Dan's dream." Is anybody buying this? If so, I have a bridge for sale.
8/31: Dan's latest (see below). Had an illusion, after a couple hours of riding, that the flagpole was a Coconut Palm. Nilda tried to convince him that the "coconuts" he saw was really a flag.
He was arrested shortly after the picture was taken.
