| Classmates
of 1969 (Collinsville High School)- Forty-one
years, can you believe it? Since our last class reunion was 1979, we thought it
was time to have another one to see how everyone is doing and how much we have
improved. Thanks to Ted Wright who got the ball started on this project, we have
been meeting since August to make plans for the big event June 26, 2010, CHS
Commons Area. There will be a reception (for anyone who wishes to attend)
in one of the rooms at CHS beginning 5:00 P.M. The banquet (primarily for
the Class of 1969 and their companion, guest or those who would have graduated)
will begin at 7:00 P.M. Dress will be casual. The
dinner will be catered by Escargot (all you can eat). The cost will be $30.00
per person (non-refundable). The meal will consist of two meats, three vegetables,
salad, rolls, and several choices of dessert, tea, coffee and lemonade. We
will need to know if you can attend by May 26, 2010. You can RSVP (&
provide photos & information) by e-mail to Ted Wright - wrightted@aol.com,
Joyce (Lowen) Cribbet - cribbetv@sbcglobal.net or Jill (Loveless) Carpenter -
dammiejill426@att.net. Mail your payment and any other information to Rhonda
(Wode) Paul 1605 W. Main St. Collinsville, OK 74021 or to Ted Wright, 1110 W.
Main, Collinsville, OK 74021. Make your check payable to either Rhonda Paul
or Ted Wright. Additional
reunion updates will be posted at www.cvilleok.com/CHSalum/CHS1969-2010Reunion41.
If
you have contact info for any of our "missing" classmates please let
us know so we can make them aware of the reunion also. We
have a questionnaire (below) and would like for it be completed and returned ASAP
to (the same as above information). If you cannot attend we would still like to
hear from you, as we will have a place to display your letter. Of course we would
love for you to send pictures. Electronic photos are preferred but if you send
orignals we will scan and hold them for you at the reunion or mail back if you
can't attend. Also,
if you or your children, grandchildren have served in the military, let us know
the information, as we would like to honor your courage and dedication to our
country. When
we meet monthly we take up a collection to help fund the reunion. As there will
be expenses and we will have guests (teachers, etc) at our banquet and we need
to cover their meals as well. If you would like to donate, any amount will be
appreciated. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. If
you know of any stories (funny, serious) (remember when) on other classmates or
teachers let us know, as we would like to read these at the banquet. After
the banquet, it was suggested to go to the Cherokee Casino in Catoosa. We are
thinking about getting a "meeting" room for those who wish to visit
further or if you feel lucky you can try your hand at the Casino and then come
back and tell us about your good fortune. Also,
if you need a motel/hotel room, Owasso has several motels/hotels. You can go online
and check the prices and make your reservations. If you haven't been back in a
while you will be surprise at the growth in Owasso.
We are getting excited
and anxious to see our classmates. We hope everyone will attend or send their
information. It has been suggested we have a "Birthday Party" for everyone
in the year 2011, since many of us will turn the big "60". --
Reunion Committee
Ted
Wright (unapproved) note: If for some reason your can't RSVP and mail payment
by May 26th. I'd still like to see your there. The cut off date is to get an accurate
number/payment to the caterer. So you likely won't have a meal and we might not
have enough space set up but don't let that keep you away. It would also make
it more difficult to organizee all the gathered info for display at the reunion.
I will likely be tied up with reunion prep earlier that day but if you make an
appointment you are also welcome to visit the "Newspaper Museum In Collinsville"
just about anytime and can track current events in Collinsville via www.cvilleok.com
with daily updates year round.) Also, all are welcome attend the reunion planning
meetings with the next one set for Saturday Feb. 6th (4:30pm) at the Library. ===========
