Since there did not seem to be much interest in having a breakfast this month (July), we decided to CANCEL the July quarterly!  

Next quarterly '63 breakfast:  October, 2024

61st NHS Class Reunion!

August 10, 2024 in Newport

This is a reminder that the 61st NHS Class Reunion will be held on August 10th. Breakfast will be at the Newport Steak and Seafood restaurant at 9:30 AM in Newport. The pot luck will be held at the Port Building in South Beach (same place as the 60th) and will start at noon and will go until everyone has left.

Please don’t go to any trouble in the food department. Some of us will be traveling and will probably stop at Fred Meyer and grab something.

I plan on having a quick meeting to discuss a variety of items and one special announcement. If you have something that you want to let the class know, preferably humorous, a tribute or a story about a successful class mate, such as David McMacken, and you don’t feel comfortable talking in front of a crowd, pass it on to me before August 10th, and I will tell the story. If it needs to be anonymous, I can do that.

Karen and I will be in Newport Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can help Frank set up the Port building Friday evening.

I am asking for an RSVP for the breakfast so that they don’t have a staffing issue. As of today, I have about 13 people that are on the RSVP list. Let me know, so that I can add your name to the list.

NOTE:  Future Quarterly Breakfast Schedule:

If you have any news you would like to share with the class, please send it to newportcubs63@yahoo.com

and I will post it here on the website.

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  be quarterly instead of monthly.

Did you know?  Our site has now been viewed more than 90,000 times! 

This site has had 100,828 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!
