RE: How many nights?

One may be enough, considering the economy lately! If someone wants to prolong it, they can on their own, maybe?

Content on website

2010-07-24T12:51:57-04:00

What kind of things would you like to see on this website? A calendar, more nostalgia, different song list? Need your input!

How many nights?

2010-07-24T12:48:57-04:00

Do you want to have a Friday and Saturday night event? Or is just one night ok (or enough)?

Preferred Venue?

2010-07-24T12:47:57-04:00

Where would you like to have the next reunion? Hotel, event center, outside venue, restaurant, etc?? If you came to the last reunion in 2007, did you like the Expo Center? If not, what changes would you like to see?

Mrs. Oertel

2009-08-23T20:00:03-04:00

I just finished perusing the faculty photos looking for the teacher I was in love with - it was Mrs. Oertel (history). That woman (probably twenty-something at the time) was just so cool I looked forward to her class every day just so I could bask in her wonderfulness. she really was very bright, funny and smart but more than that she was the standard of female beauty and personality for me from that point forward. I still haven't met anyone that was as sophisticated as I thought she was! I'm wondering if anybody else felt that way about her?

RE: Dean Elkins - English

I had Mrs. Oertel for history. She also was a pacer and lectured from start of class time to end without a break in order to get us ready for college classes. I recently came across my notes from her class on the Civil War -- or more aptly the War Between the States, since no war is civil. Surprised I kept these as history was not one of my favorite subjects at that time.

RE: Dean Elkins - English

I had Mr. Elkins for a history class. He taught as though we were college students, which brought out the best in me. Of course, the "best" wasn't too stellar! You're right...he did pace. Wonder whatever became of him.

Gerald Stafford - World Geography

2009-07-07T17:06:15-04:00

What a character! Got a love of maps from his class. To this day I cannot look at a green M&M or Dr. Pepper without thinking of Mr. Stafford. Anyone else remember his bonus point question on each quiz? One that stayed with me was one I couldn't answer and found embarassing - What is the world's largest bra size? (slightly sexist & politically incorrect)

Dean Elkins - English

2009-07-07T16:59:36-04:00

I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Elkins' English classes in spite of the fact that he paced constantly which was a little distracting to me. I always wondered about his yellow skin-tone - the rumor mill was that he had malaria when stationed in Vietnam.

Favorite Teacher

2009-07-07T13:42:51-04:00

My favorite Teacher was Mr Sheppard Choir . Had him in Jr Hi at UJH also.

Bobby, I really don't know what I'm doing on this website, so we'll have to see if this works. Yes, you know Richard too well to know that about me! Hope you all are great.

I have no idea what button to hit or what I'm supposed to really do to get on this, so I'll have to ask Tina, our younger mom! She is so great. Bye, Paula
