Our group with Email Addresses


We would like to put as many pictures as possible on the web site. If you have any old pictures from our college years, email them to Stretch in electronic format so they can be posted here on our web page. If you don’t have a decent scanner, send the pictures or slides to Stretch. He has a scanner that can scan slides too. Send recent pictures too of you and your family.

Rocky and Susan are in the process of moving back to Asheville, NC.  Rocky starts a new job there July 26th so regrettably they will not make the reunion.

Bob and Sheila  also can't make it.  Bob recently started a new job too which means he can't get any time off.  They really wanted to come too. We will have to give him a call.

Dean has an art opening he is coordinating that weekend at the Asheville Art Museum so he won’t be able to make it.

It should be a fun weekend. It has been too long for all of us to get together. See you in August!  Here who's coming...

Elmer and Sue

Tom, Ann and Tommy

Stretch and Laura

Jeanne and Eddie's pictures 

Rocky's pictures - Fleabag picture taken shortly after our Earth Day 1972 clean up of People's Park (how timely). Picture taken from the park view. The Christmas card was sent to Rocky in Snowflake, shortly after Rocky left the fleabag to venture into the real world. It was great at the time, and Rocky still thinks it's a hoot.

Stretch's pictures  - Black and white photos Dean took right before graduation in May 1973; Stretch and Laura's wedding photos near Danbury, CT June 1977; a few miscellaneous photos; Stretch and Laura's current house after a chance snow storm in Salem, OR; Stretch, Laura, Matthew and Kelsey the last time the four of them were together June 2009.  Stretch and Laura's photo album
