We Did It--What We Did at 50

Three days of Huskie reunion in August 2008:  Day 1: Cocktail Reception at the Mid America Club (downtown-Aon Center), Day 2: Hirsch and Neighborhoods/elementary school visit and tour; Dinner at Metropolitan Club (Sears Tower); Day 3;  Hosted brunch (thanks Ed and Doris Ford) at South Shore Cultural Center (jazz fest in session as well) former  SS Country CLub.

Lots of photos and links and after action material,

Hearing enthusiasm for an informal  yearly luncheon or dinner or while insuring we have a 'bash' on an every 5 year (maybe 3 year) basis.  Please send your thoughts  via email.   

Contact info-will not be posted in 'the open' --Barb Mays (rambam40@msn.com) is the go to person for contact information.  Email her for a name or the list of those who attended. Thanks Barb for the help. She has been appointed 'Reunion Coordinator' (RC)  with all the rights and prerogatives of office that accompany the position.

Looking for some techncal help to upload material from time to time and prepare for 2013.  Would like to set up a password protected site with blog capability.
