CHANGE IN 61stREUNION PLANS!

3-11-2024 John Owen just heard from Dennis Strand--Dennis just learned about an important military reunion that will be held on August 10, 2024--the same day we had planned for our 61st class reunion!  And, Dennis really wants to attend both of these reunions!  (And, we really want Dennis to be with us to celebrate our 61st too!

So, John will be sending out an inquiry to you all in next few days.  There are 5 Saturdays in the month of August, 2024, so we do have other possibilities.  Traditionally, most of our class breakfasts were held on the 3rd Saturday of the month, which would be 17th, so that would be the next likeliest choice of dates.  Or the other Saturdays are August 24 and 31. 

We need to get the new date firmed up ASAP, so that those who need to make overnight reservations will have the most time possible.  
 

[Oops, original message just said August 24 for conflicts, my error!  Please let John know whether you prefer either August 17 or 24!  Thanks]. PPH 

So--If anyone has a conflict with other important events scheduled for August 17 or 24, please let John know immediately!  541-403-2503

We started having monthly class breakfasts 22 years ago, in February 2002!  That was when a small group gathered in Salem area to begin working on trying to locate all the class members, prior to our 40th reunion that was scheduled for the following year!  During the first 19 years, we only missed 3 times--once when we scheduled the breakfast in central Oregon & no one showed up, and two other times when we cancelled the event due to severe weather limitations!   Then, in March 2020, Covid-19 shut us down for two long years, until March 2022.

Monthly Breakfasts resumed in April, 2022, but going forward they will probably be quarterly instead of monthly.

This site has had 93,594 total  visits since we started it in November 2013!

 

 

 

To make it easier for planning our calendars:

The idea is to make the breakfast sites reachable for as many classmates as possible!

Do YOU have other ideas?  Other locations where you would like to meet for breakfast?  In the past we have tried the Eugene area a few times, but the turnout there was usually low.  We have never met in Corvallis, so that is another possibility.    Would really like to hear your ideas!

Please contact us at newportcubs63@yahoo.com and let us hear your ideas!
