Hi Everyone--
Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating New Years Eve and here we are well into February. Tomorrow is Valentines Day already. "Sigh" Anyone else think time is moving on too fast? We have been so spoiled by the winter that we have had, that these cold days, snow and some ice are sure not welcome. Thinking back of so many triple digits hot days that we had last summer I don't know which is worse. The Seniors of 2012 Chase Kats are on the down hill decent of their senior year, we will be at their graduation before we know it. As I have said before, the only good thing about time marching on so fast is that it brings the All School Reunion 2014 that much closer. My heart is saddened by so many Chase Kats that we have lost just since the last reunion. There are many reasons to attend the All School Reunion but thinking it might be the last time you see some of our school mates is an important one. One that I just posted today was Merle Adams. I was talking to Frances today and she was telling me that Merle and Shirley were waiting at the hotel for us to get there on Thursday to get things started this last reunion. Talk about getting us excited! Sandy at the hotel that I was dealing with for the use of the facilities for 2014 told me that several people had checked in on Weds for the reunion. I'll bet Merle and Shirley were two of them. We'll sure miss him. Another one that comes to mind is Mary Matlack Kopfman. She came with such excitement for her class to celebrate their 50th reunion and shared herself with us even tho she was battling her health. As you know she lost that battle and we were grateful to see her one last time. There are so many good stories from the reunion that I could fill this page but better stop here. If you have one or two special memories from the reunion and would like to share, just email myself or Mary and we will be glad to put it on here. Hope you have the date marked on your 2014 calendar. Never too soon to start planning. Right?
Until next time--

December 13, 2011 Dear friends, Well, the 2011 reunion is now another great memory. All of our reunions are wonderful but to me this was a very special one. So many of you step up and help out both financially and with hard work so once again, on behalf of the committee, thank you for being part of it all. We especially thank Mr. Helm and all the staff at CHS for putting up with us – we couldn’t do it without their cooperation and good help. There has to be more pictures out there! It’s not too late to share so send them to Sherry to be put on the web site – everyone loves the pictures. Time once again to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and all good things in the new year. Keep in touch with each other and with us and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand. Love you all, Mary

FROM PAST UPDATES: January 8, 2012 Hi Everyone-- We are into the New Year 2012 and I hope your New Year came in just the way you wanted it to. With family and loved ones and smooth sailing. We have a brand new year stretched out before us and I wish for you that it is a great year. I am not making any resolutions that always seem to get broken but instead taking it day by day with a few dreams and goals. The alumni committee will meet in Feb for the first time this year and will work to get the 2012 March Newsletter put together and mailed out. If you are not on the mailing list and would like to get a Newsletter, be sure and let Frances, Mary or myself know. And as always we talk and plan about the upcoming 2014 All School Reunion. Until next time-- Sherry Bliss Cole, Class of 1964 |
