What's New on the Site?
Funny video:
https://www.foxnews.com/tech/watch-2-adorably-clueless-teens-17-baffled-by-a-rotary-phone
This site has had 44,958 visits since we started it in November 2013!
To make it easier for planning our calendars:
Based on our breakfast location history of the past few years, here is a more-or-less schedule that we have begun using for our upcoming breakfasts . It is "more-or-less" because we can always make a change if it seems good to do so. (For example, say if someone who lives farther away than Western Oregon should happen to come through, we are always happy to change our schedule to a date or location so they would be able to join us!!)
ANNUAL REVOLVING BREAKFAST SCHEDULE:
Jan. & July Woodburn or Wilsonville area
Feb. & Aug. Newport
Mar. & Sept. Spirit Mountain, Grand Ronde
Apr & Oct. Tualatin or elsewhere on I-5
May & Nov. Albany
June & Dec. Salem
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!

Need your help: We have NO pictures in the "Pictures of Years Past" Sections for the 1950s and the 1980s. If you have some that you would like to share, please contact us at newportcubs63@yahoo.com. If you will loan them to Pat, she will scan them & return to you promptly!
If you would like to have a better-quality copy of any of the photos from this site, please "Contact Us" and we will be glad to email the digital file to you! PPH
