Hello again fellow Alumni

We’re growing older, but not up,
Attend this reunion and see who’s grown up,
Let all that grey hair fall down over your ears,
It’s best to celebrate now rather than hide from the years

Hello again fellow Alumni.

Just a quick note to suggest that you start preparing now for that whopper you’re going to tell everyone at The Reunion. You know what I’m talking about; the time you had a winning lottery ticket, but used it to give your phone number to that beautiful person who never called (wonder if they collected the winnings?), or the time you single handedly thwarted the terrorist attack, but couldn’t claim credit because you were in deep cover with the CIA. What!! Haven’t made plans to attend yet? Well, you’re in luck ‘cause it’s not too late yet.
.
Just send your reservation (name, address, phone and e-mail address) along with your negotiable instrument (check or money order) to PD Class of 1970, PO Box 30939 , Amarillo , TX 79120 . We need to have your reservation by 27 July in order to make sure we’ve got you covered . Cost is $65 for Alumni and $55 for that other wonderful person in your life.

Now all the television shows would have you think that reunions are beautiful people driving fancy cars, and looking like Sean Connery in a Bond movie. While the beautiful people part is right, we ain’t doing the classic Bond look. Come along in your casual clothes (something you’d wear out to dinner) and drive your old beater, it’s ok. All we’re looking to do is have a little fun and renew a lot of friendships. Just mark your calendars, set the count down function on that fancy phone you carry, but make sure that you take all the actions necessary to attend what is sure to be the best 40th Reunion that the Class of ’70 will ever have . . .there ain’t ever going to be another 40th!!

Ya’ll take care out there and remember; if it’s worth telling a whopper; it’s worth being magnificent! Till Reunion .

Saturday 7 August, 2010



· Morning is free to meet and visit with friends and family. Rendezvous at the reunion registration room at The Ambassador. Lunch is on your own; see if your favorite High School dive is still open and serving the same good (?) food.

· From 2:00 – 3:00pm Palo Duro High School will be open for us to wander the campus. See if you can still locate those places where you always managed to get in trouble, or maybe that special place where you were able to sneak a kiss with that special Don or Donna. (I'm thinking of that corner back by the band room . . .)

· Big Four-Oh reunion activities will kick off at The Ambassador from 7:00pm until . . . .well, probably 9:00 if you're like me. Officially we can hang out until about 12:00 (Curfew at our age?) I'm certain that some of us will be there early, so if you get lonely come on by. I'm sure Beverly will have some last minute decorating to accomplish! We'll start the evening with the fight song, have dinner and a DJ, and end it with our Alma Mater.

· Reunion Cost is $65 per person

· Save the date, reserve your room, and we'll send more info out soon.
