All information forwarded to me about the meeting has been extremely positive! As we are now inside a year from the reunion, many goals were set.

Committee Reorganization
There was a reorganization of the committee structure, due to the fact that Brian Stuckey and Dale Brunett have stepped down from their positions due to conflicts in schedule.

I know this must have been an extremely difficult decision to make. However, we wish them both well. They have been an inspirationally driving force behind getting this reunion off the ground! We are hoping they will lend their advice and assistance in future planning.

The new committee members include:

• Randy Christensen (70)
• Rick Figueroa (73)
• Trish Kane (74)
• Paul Keswick (75)

In addition, Sheila Cabrinha Chestnutt (68) has been appointed treasurer, Patricia Morrissey (78) has been appointed Marketing chair, with Steve Edmonds (78) co-chair. Legal advice is being handled by Sandi Ushkow Nichols (74). See what talent lies in the LHS alumni!

Date is Set
The committee reconfirmed the reunion weekend… August 8-10, 2003. The Santa Clara Convention Center has been reserved and a deposit has been made for the Joe Sharino Band. Sheila Cabrinha Chestnutt opened a LHS Vikings Reunion checking account and post office box. This is in preparation for upcoming reservations. The date that reservations will be accepted is to be announced shortly. Committee members are awaiting final confirmation of a non-profit status. As soon as that process is completed, reservations may be made by check to the post office box OR on-line with PayPal.

The final bit of information (I know…I'm getting better… a little shorter?): the reunion web site will soon include links to the other mini-events our fellow alumni are working on. The committee wants to make it clear that these are separate from the reunion as far as the planning and liabilities go. However, they are enthusiastic and supportive of these efforts to reunite alumni. At this point, we have the golf tournament (Scott Bigness 77, would love some help in planning this event… any suggestions on location?), Poker Run (Len Ball 77, seems to be coming right along on those plans) and a possible Jam Session (crossing our fingers for the King of the Bammies, Dennis Erokan 68 to help us with that one…).

Appreciation to Brian & Dale
Before I close, I really want to reiterate my appreciation to Brian and Dale for getting this reunion off and running and my blessings go to them as they catch up on their lives! And thanks to Rick, Randy, Trish and Paul for continuing on. I am so excited about the reunion (as if you hadn't noticed)… and these are the people responsible for seeing Brian's vision come to life! I appreciate their enthusiastic involvement… They all ROCK! (P.S. Brian asked me to remove the part about this being his vision, because he said it is the work of so many. This is true, however, like I told him… I feel like he stepped out on a limb…got the ball rolling and made this unbelievable idea seem possible… and for that we deeply thank him. That's the best I can do Brian!)
