Can you believe it? We're only 1 week away!
That’s right.
Just one week away from our 25th reunion,
and we can’t wait to catch up with everyone in person. It’s been great to re-connect with
many of you during the past few months via phone and email, but nothing
compares to being able to see each other face-to-face. We do hope that you and your family
(if applicable) will be able to join us at some point during the
weekend.
Here’s the weekend lineup
Friday night, July 30th - 7pm - Catamount
Café, Mt. Tremper
Do
you remember your first day of school, and the anticipation of seeing
friends that you hadn’t seen all summer? Well, think of how you’ll feel when
you see people that you haven’t seen in 5, 10 or 25 years! This is the event that kicks it all
off. A very informal gathering
designed for the Class of 1979 and friends of the class will be held at
the Catamount Café. There’s no
admission charge, and a cash bar will be available.
Saturday picnic, July 31st - 11am - 3pm - Davis Park,
West Shokan
Bring
your kids, your own picnic lunch, and your swimsuits and join us for a
fun-filled afternoon at Davis Park. There’s no
admission charge, but there is a $2/person pool fee (payable at the
park). Come out for a few hours
and reacquaint yourself with some old friends and make some new ones.
Saturday Night Dinner Party, July 31st - 7pm - New World Home Cooking, Saugerties
Our
weekend culminates with a fabulous Saturday evening event at New
World Home Cooking in Saugerties. The cost of the event is
$60/person. If you would like to attend we do need to get your
check ASAP! Checks should be made payable to "Onteora Reunion 79" and mailed to:

Kingston, NY 12401
If you would still like to
attend Saturday evening's event please go to the reunion website
and provide your registration information: http://www.geocities.com/Onteora79/RegistrationMain.html.
What about friends of the class and our teachers?
Friday night and the Saturday picnic are open to both friends of the
class and teachers, so if any of you are in contact with some of the
teachers we used to have please feel free to invite them or provide
them with the reunion website URL, www.geocities.com/Onteora79.
Who said it? Try this one out
From the archives of the class
will…take a look at the following quotes and see if you can match the
person to what they “left behind”.
The answers appear at the bottom of the newsletter.
A. In my will I leave a “thank you” to
J.A. for all the great times, and may our friendship last forever.
B. Being of sound mind I leave to the
student body, Mr. Lapo’s BORING speeches and
Mr. Cilley’s spazness.
C. I leave to the jocks of O.C.S. the
worst of my luck. To all my cool
friends the hope that someday marijuana will be legalized.
D. To Mr. Stahl, many wonderful running
experiences and $5.00 to type my first college paper.
E. I leave Rich in the dust on the Shady
curves, and give all future drivers warning about the Roving Meadows of
Wittenberg.

It’s been a lot of fun putting this together over the
past few months, and if we can come up with some digital photos from
the reunion we’ll post on the reunion website. So, for those of you that can make it

you!
