Special Letter to the class of 1976

Hey all of you fellow 76er's!

All I can say is.....35 YEARS!!! That's a long time.....But, it really doesn't seem that long, does it? Or, maybe it does! Anyway, it is time to get together again and remember all those "formative years" that we spent growing up together. Granted, we have all gone on our own paths, but we all share something special....growing up in Plymouth, Indiana in the 60's and 70's. We learned a lot from sharing those experiences together. Almost like brothers and sisters in some respects, we "loved" and maybe even "fought like cats and dogs" at times, but we taught each other a lot about the life we have gone on to live. That's what growing up is all about!

After meeting last night get the ball rolling on this event, Rick Vermillion, Dave Morrow, Julie (Schroeder) Weidner, Greg Renz and I decided that we are READY TO HAVE SOME FUN!!! We had a blast talking about all of you last night. Were your ears ringing? Just thumbing through the yearbook, we were cracking up at those "attractive" 70's hairstyles and clothing! We were trying to come up with a really special venue for this year's reunion.....a real "party to remember!" This year we decided to have the party at a downtown Plymouth location called Opie's Deli/The Office/The Alley. It's a historically restored building downtown that encompasses a deli, bar, and outside urban-like setting perfect for a summer's night of grilling and acoustic guitar. It DEFINITELY won't be your stuffy banquet room reunion!

That said....YOU are the people that will help us make this a truly successful event. This is the email list from the 30th Class Reunion. Some of these emails are probably outdated, but it was a starting point. All of you that receive this email, please respond with as many email addresses of all the classmates that you keep in touch with that are not on this list, or updated emails that we already have that are no longer being used. That would be a HUGE help!  The hardest part is making sure we get in touch with EVERYONE. We don't want to leave anyone out. There is also a PHS Alumni site on Facebook that we can also use to track everyone down. We thought we would send out a mailer.....so it would be helpful to have your address as well, even if it was the same as 5 years ago!

Oh yeah.....by the way, it's Saturday, August 6th.....with a multi-class get together at Swan Lake on Friday night with various classes that graduated before and after us, which I've heard is really fun as well! So....I'm going to hit the SEND button and see what happens! I hope you are picking up on how "special" we want to make this reunion and how much WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Thanks for reading this long-winded notice.....and fire-up for a awesome party in August! Hope to hear from you soon!
