Be in our Pioneer Republican "Save the Date" ad

The next step for the reunion includes placing a general announcement in the Pioneer Republican. The purpose for this ad is to notify classmates (or family of classmates) about the date/venue for our 20th reunion and solicit updated addresses. Please email in your current address so we can send you info!

We're almost ready to publish this ad. Just awaiting one final, but very important, detail - a brave classmate who has a high-resolution class photo of herself/himself to use in the ad. This could be from any year. We just need one!! But I'd take three at this point.

Here is the ad ready for placement, awaiting your friendly classmate photo.

Will you be in it? Please help us through this last step!!

Live Band at the Reunion? Let's do a duet!

Music Lovers,

Were you a band geek then? Or are you one now? Email me what you play and let's set something up for the reunion. The winery is a live music venue so let's make that live music from the Class of 1988.

What do you play?
What do you sing?
Are you a stand-up poet?
Do you want to auction off items? (I know there's ONE auctioneer out there!) We could add music to it and make it a new genre.

Don't worry about your skill level or fear of performing in public. We can take care of that.

Email me if you have any interest and we'll collectively figure out next steps.

You Can Keep Manhattan

I came across this article in the East Iowa Herald about a book written by a man who grew up in rural Marengo. The book is called Lone Gone, by Richard Willis. The farm Richard grew up on is now owned by Tascha's parents, Larry & Linda Yoder.

Reunion Plans Heating Up - Need your help!

It's time to get rolling on the reunion plans! The event is Saturday, July 5th at the Fireside Winery, starting at 6pm. Plans underway include venue setup, food and beverage, and audio/visual equipment. We're doing our best to keep costs down for everyone involved. With that in mind, here are three questions posed to all classmates:

1) Who has a cordless microphone we could use for the event?
2) Who has a projector we could use to play a slideshow of Kindergarten through 12th grade photos?
3) Do you have photos you'd like to submit for the event?

I'm keeping a photo library and will pull together the slideshow. Please email me photos so we have a rounded out assortment with all classmates included. Here's a good one of "study hall".

Happy Birthday Christine

Will one of our classmates be on Showtime this spring?

It's true. There is potential that one of our classmates may be involved in a documentary that plans to air on Showtime this spring. The new series is a spin-off of a public radio program that has won major journalism awards in the country.

I have been asked by the producers to not post details about the storyline, but rest assured that you'll hear about it on the blog and know when to tune in. You may be surprised to know that filming takes place late January!

Pictures from Roger

Here are a few new photos from Roger to share. The first is of Kassie in her volleyball game, followed by his wife's daughter Sierra doing her first solo skating at 10 years of age. The last photo is his wife's graduation as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
