"RESPECT", Otis Redding's song from the Queen of Soul's perspective. Timeless theme. RIP Aretha Franklin. 

Gregory Colman

Sorry to keep bringing this up again.  Last name still not spelled correctly in the attendance list.   COLMAN, no "E" in the middle.

Denise Lambert (Leonard)

Can I purchase a basketball ticket at the door?  What is the dress code for Saturday?  I'm really getting excited in reconnecting with everyone.  WOW 50years since we graduated!!!!  GO Quakers!!!!

Robert W Talbot

I just spent a few minutes going over the list of fellow graduates and I am also looking forward to seeing everyone again and catching up on what they have been up to. It’ll be a blast 

Nancy Raetzloff (Groth)

The dress code is casual.  Wear whatever you are comfortable wearing.  Not 100% sure about Friday night tickets and how to pay.  Ric will have to address that question.

Marlene J Souriano (Souriano-Vinikoor)

Yaela,

I looked at our 68’ yearbook and didn’t find your photo. Did you go by a different name?

Susan Fannan (Kaeser)

Gregory, I still have the same issue. 2 n's in the middle of Fannan. I hope they correct them by next Saturday.

Sylvia Lovegren (Petras)

Marlene, Yaele is Georgina Palmer 

Nancy Raetzloff (Groth)

We have heard from a classmate that Lorraine Toy may have passed away.  I didn't know Lorraine well, so I am a little bit handicapped in searching for information on her.  The Lorraine Toy that passed away September 2017 in Texas was born in 1954 so I don't think that is our gal.  Does anyone else have any information that might help narrow the search?  I did find a possible Lorraine Sauwoon Toy, with a possible last name of Quan living in California.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

Al Ovadia

Denise, tickets can be purchased at the door for $5.

Theresa (Teri) Escobar

For those of you whose names were misspelled,  no worries,  I have made corrections for the final check-in list and has been corrected for your name tags.  See you next week!

Teri Escobar

Mark Benecke

One more correction.  Margaret is married (for 43 years) to my twin brother Jerry...not me.  My wife Beth is not attending the reunion.  She is going be showing her brother Jeff and sister-in-law Barb from Texas some of Seattle's best tourist attractions.  I'll be joining them on Sunday for a cruise to Alaska, which I'm sure will be a great way for Jeff and Barb to escape the Texas heat!  Looking forward to seeing everyone at our 50th class reunion!!

Theresa (Teri) Escobar

Hi Mark - I have it down correctly on my finalized check-in list.  Thank you.

Teri

Update from message # 1249 

Good thing lists’ are malleable or work-in-progress till it’s final conclusion. I had to nudge the editor to shape up or else.

Nancy Raetzloff (Groth)

We will miss you John MacLeod.

Donna Amira

Take care. Donna

Dorothy Rodes

Was looking forward to connecting, John. May all go swimmingly.

Paul Nogaki

Hey John, you're not the only one who does something really stupid like that! Twenty years ago I was mowing my folk's lawn with Dad's brand new electric mower and I backed up a couple of steps because the cord was too short to turn around. Fell down over a landscape rock and my foot came off the ground and the lightweight mower came off the ground... WHAP! Two toes missing! Never found a trace of them, but the doctor at Harborview saved my ability to walk normally. Signed, Paul Nogatoes

John Hein

Greets 68-ers,

If anybody has contact info on Tom Johnson or Phil Goodall, pleez let them know I left them messages here and would like to hear from them. It was great seeing the classmates, but I'm still trying to process that half-century time marker. All the best to all, John

Debbie Kashino

Dorothy Rodes

What a memorable treat to connect and be pitched back into the formative, historic time that was our high school years ... poignant in light of the current climate. It was heartfelt fun! Thank you to all who put in the time and effort required! ... and to all who, like me, just showed up. I am up for more more and willing to participate in making that happen.

For those who are in or near Seattle, i invite you to my gig October 20 ... deets are on the Home Page.

Happy trails until we meet again.

Yaela Ettlinger (Yaela Ettlinger)

Dorothy, what a nice comment.  I'm hoping to make it on the 20th as I have wanted to hear you sing for a long time.  I'm going to a full day conference that day so may be simply too pooped by 9pm to attend.  Can you give me a list of other possibilities to hear you?

Dorothy Rodes

Yaela, thank you for your interest. It would be swell to see you. No expectations here ... it's late especially if you've been engaged all day. I don't have a gig scheduled yet hope to have one early next year. Take care.

I have a question for everyone.  The website admins got an email saying that Karen Morisaki Burleson was deceased.  No explanation,no date, no information.  Is anyone in contact with Karen?  The last address we have for her is in Kent.  I checked the local obituaries and have found nothing.  It takes time for the state death records to get updated, so it may be a while before we can find anything out from that source.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.
