Latest Update from the Reunion Planners

Reunion planners Nancy de Ita and Mike Adelson have some exciting news items:

• The biggest news is that the Class of Fall 1969 has been added to the invitees list! So if you know anyone from that class, encourage them to join in!
• About 100 people so far have bought tickets. If we reach our goal of 270 tickets, we can have the entire restaurant to ourselves!
• Until then, we don't have a separate banquet room, but we do have a big section of the restaurant till midnight - hopefully well after the regular diners move on, so we can have the place to ourselves after that.
• Someone is bringing a senior movie - possibly from Spring 1969 - and will be playing it on a laptop in repeat mode, so you can watch it anytime, all through dinner and beyond.
• As mentioned earlier, Mike will be bringing a small boombox, so bring your CDs of Sixties-era music - rock, soul, folk, any and all of that great music! (Remember to write your name and phone number on each CD.)
• A few people are bringing poster-sized photos from their high-school days. If you have photos from our Lowell days, and know how to make poster prints (FedExKinko's?), by all means bring it with you!
• With all these exciting new amenities, the planners are now thinking of spending the entire evening, till midnight, at the restaurant, instead of heading for a nightclub (don't think I could manage that anyway).

Pass the word, mockingbird!

Which Classmates Are Coming?

You don't even need to register to see who's coming - just click the headline to see the comments!

Once you're there, use the Comments feature to let us know who's coming - or not coming - to the reunion. (Make sure it's OK with the classmates you're mentioning. And no need to say why they're not coming, just that they're not able to come.)

To use the Comments feature, just Register once (search for "how to" to find out how), sign in, come back to this post (search for "classmates" if necessary), and post a comment in the text field below the post.

That's it!

Bring Pictures!

Don't forget to bring a few photos to the reunion - of your family, of our classmates, of our high school days, whatever. And if you can make poster-size printouts of a high-school photo or two, all the better. We'll be decorating the walls with them at the restaurant!

Bring Your CDs of Sixties Music!

Just found out from reunion planner Mike Adelson that we can play some of our own music, on a small boom box that he'll bring, even though we won't be in a separate banquet room or anything. It won't play LPs, of course, but it will play CDs, so bring CDs - clearly labeled with your name and phone number or email address - of music from our high school days, the Sixties!

Bring Your Yearbook!

If you still have your yearbook, you will be doing those of us who lost ours an immense favor by bringing it along and sharing it with your table mates (with promises to handle with care!). You have no idea how hard it is to remember names and faces without it! Many thanks in advance.

Bring LPs from Back in the Day!

Dust off your Old School LPs and bring them to the reunion! And if you have a mini stereo with a turntable, we'll see if we can set it up at the restaurant. After all, when's the last time you heard your own LPs?

I have a keeper: The Loading Zone's one and only LP, featuring Lowell's own Linda Tillery. The Loading Zone played at our Senior Prom, remember? It was the first time a rock band played at a Lowell prom. Before then, only orchestras played the proms.
