Hi All,
 
We’re almost there.  Normally, I’d lead you to the web site with a link for the monthly E-Letter but we’ve got info for the masses.  Feel free to forward this e-mail to ‘mates from THS and friends that were with us “back in the day”…  This is The Combined 25ish Reunion for THS 87, 88, and 89…  open for all classes
 
Here are what are probably the final details — any other updates will be posted to THS 88 on the Web so check daily — Festivities begin Friday, October 4, 2013….  Courtesy of Jennifer Maxwell, primary organizer, President THS 88 via Facebook
 
Final Plans including picnic assignments.

Oct 4 — 7 PM at the Reservation:  Homecoming Football Game.  We are going to try to sit together.  or as Yoda says “do or do not there is no try”…
Oct 5 — 11 – 2:30 Picnic at Buhlow Recreation Area — follow around to back side like going to the airport — the road has moved further south…
Spencer Smith, Class of 89, has been gracious enough to provide and cook pulled pork for sandwiches.
 
Food Assignments:
  • Class of 87 members – chips or side dishes
  • Class of 88 members – desserts
  • Class of 89 members – Buns for sandwiches.
    Please inbox me (Jennifer Maxwell jbmax@aol.com) what you plan on bringing so I can make sure we will have enough in each category.
Oct 5 — 7:30 ’til midnight-ish.  Party at Country Inn and Suites
 
  • If you have not paid, you may pay at the door. $25 individual $40 couple
  • Light appetizers and iced tea will be served.
  • BYOB – if you plan on drinking anything besides the above – you MUST bring your own cups, ice, and mixers.
  • DJ has some great music ready to go.
  • We will have a table set up for each class to put memorabilia on. If you bring items to share, please label and pick up at the end of the night. I will not be responsible for these items. I am bringing some newspaper articles, old pictures, etc.I am looking forward to seeing everyone in a few days. Please encourage anyone that may be “on the fence” to come out. It’s going to be a blast.
 
Heart breaker for the Tigers in Athens — L44 – 41 in a shoot out…  Is good to see an Offense that is not Offensive — have questions regarding the defensive play calling — put pressure on the QB — knock him down, hurry his throws…  Saints have the Dolphins in the Dome on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

Contact Jenn jbmax@aol.com or me via reply with Reunion questions, I’m not involved in the planning or organization, but I relay questions and requests…  Feel free to extend regrets, etc here at THS 88 on the Web.  Pics of some sort and report thereafter will also appear here…

R-Minus 6 days and Counting.

Great game in Athens with the Tigers and Bulldogs — too bad Tigers came up on the short end.  Why the defense was so soft on that final Georgia drive and no pressure on the QB is beyond me.

Have been assured I will have whatever picnic info there is tomorrow… 

Later…

R-Minus 7 Days and Counting…

No news on the picnic / Family Day.   Should be able to shake something from “the powers that be” tomorrow. 

Did receive 2 regrets for the festivities.  You’ll be missed by someone, I’m sure 🙂

R-Minus 8 days and Counting…

Made inquiry as to status of picnic.  

Info to be received tomorrow. 

R-Minus 9 Days and Counting…

Seems I didn’t miss anything last evening with my Facebook Outage. 

No picnic news as of this time.  Perhaps tomorrow. 

Posted here as always…  Youse folks making me sliding into retirement here difficult.

R-Minus 10 days and Counting…

As of this moment — I’m locked out of Facebook — for maintenance — so I have no idea if picnic info is out.  If indeed up — I’ll get that out tomorrow.

Buhlow Rec Area — go around back toward the airport — never been there, nor had a reason.   Saturday, October 5th, 11 AM to 2 PM. 

Time for LSU game (at Mississippi State) 6 PM on one of the ESPN networks, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU.

The 25: R-minus 11 Days and Counting…

For those not up to speed that Reunion minus 11 days and counting — NASA style — I do wish I had been able to see a shuttle launch.  Countdown is actually for first day of events aka Homecoming game.

No additional info for today…  Check back for the Latest updates for The Combined 25ish Reunion for THS 87, 88, & 89…

The 25: R-minus 12 Days and Counting
