Dear Hickman Class of ’62 Kewpies:
The date of our
50th Class Reunion has been set –
September 28 & 29, 2012.
Save the date and
start making plans to be there (or be square)!!!
For some of you this will be your first communication
pertaining to our 50th Class Reunion.
Your reunion committee has been meeting since this past
July and has been trying to locate our class members.
We are excited about the 50th Reunion and hope
to celebrate with as many of our classmates at possible.
Our list of “lost” Kewpies started out at 140 and is now
down to about 35.
Enclosed with this letter will be a list of those that are
still “lost”.
Please check the list and help us locate them.
Any
contact information may be sent to Nancy Harris Page at
nancypage2011@hotmail.com
or Bonnie Watkins Prather at
bonnieprather@me.com
Contact information needed:
first, (maiden), and last names
email addresses (this method of
contacting classmates will cut the cost of mailing.
All emails will be sent out as “blind copies” so that your
email address will not be publicized if you are concerned about
privacy or getting junk mail)
mailing addresses, including zip
codes
phone numbers - home and/or cell
Our class now has a page on the website
Kewpie.net.
Please
go to the following:
http://www.kewpie.net/Class62/1962qpClass.html
for
the lists of “lost” and deceased classmates. When you see the list
of our classmates who have passed, you will see how important it is
to try to attend this reunion.
A Class of 1962 50th Class Reunion Yearbook will be compiled by the
reunion committee.
The book will be a terrific tool for refreshing our memories
about our classmates and learning about their lives since 1962.
We’re sure it will also bring back lots of memories of our
Hickman days.
Each classmate will be allotted one full 8 1⁄2” X 11” page in the
yearbook.
Enclosed is a suggested format for submitting your
biography for inclusion in the book. The committee will attach your
1962 Cresset picture to your page.
Please
send a current picture (to help us recognize each other) with your
information. Please send your bio with picture included to
Nancy Harris Page, 1301
Elsdon Court, Columbia, MO 65203. The yearbook publishing
committee reserves the
right to edit your yearbook page in order to limit the size of
the yearbook to one page per classmate. The deadline for submitting
your information for the yearbook is
June 1, 2012.
We will be unable to accept bio information after that
date because of the schedule for printing the book.
Don’t
miss getting your bio included!
A
directory of ’62 Kewpies names, addresses, phone numbers and email
addresses will also be printed for distribution at the reunion.
If you prefer to
not have your email
address included in the directory, please let Bonnie Watkins Prather
or Nancy Harris Page know.
If you have any photos of our class activities and/or class members
from elementary or junior high or past Hickman class reunions that
we may use for a video/slide presentation, please send the scanned
photos and/or photo copies to Bonnie Watkins Prather by email (bonnieprather@me.com)
or to Nancy Harris Page at her home address. Please note the names
of the people in the photos.
Costs for this type of event have risen drastically. Your donations
of money to help defray expenses for our reunion are encouraged.
Your time and support in making our reunion a well attended, fun and
successful event are greatly appreciated.
Please make your check out to Hickman Class of '62 and
mail to Nancy Harris Page, 1301 Elsdon Ct., Columbia, MO 65203.
Thank you to those of you who have already given contributions!!!
