Class of 1966 Reunion Photos

Posting photos increases the amount of time it takes for a page to load. That's why I've decided to move large collections of photos to Flickr. My original thought was that I would use a single Flickr Pro account for all the photo groups I posted. But when you receive scores and scores of photos from one class, it begins to make more sense to create several specialized Flickr accounts.

This also saves me lots of time, since it puts the burden of labeling, describing, and tagging the photos on the members of the class reunion committee.

Tonight, as I battle insomnia, I created a Flickr account for the Class of 1966 and uploaded 40 photos taken at their Friday night get-together at the Pub on September 29, 2006, plus a JPG file that identifies the people in the photos until the reunion committee finishes labeling and describing individual photos. I've also created a Flickr badge for this account: It's at the bottom of the sidebar (material on the right hand side of this page).

If you have friends, siblings, or classmates in the Class of 1966, you'll want to check the class Flickr site periodically for updates.

They're having a party and you're invited

The Class of 1966 reunion weekend includes an informal get-together on Friday, September 29, 2006 at The Pub on State Street. The email I received from Gerhard Ellerkamp says the get-together starts at 6 p.m. and runs until ??. If this were a 5th or 10th reunion, my guess is most everyone would be there until closing time. But since this is a 40th reunion, my guess is things will wind down before then. If you want to know for sure, just show up at The Pub.

The class also has a long list of "missing" classmates, which I'm printing here. If you have information about any of these people, please contact Kathy Wolff -- or send me an email and I'll forward it to her.

Class of 1966 reunion probably will be held in September

Steve Sasso is the president of the Italian Workmen's Club of Madison. He's also a member of the Madison Central High School Class of 1966. So when I saw Steve this afternoon at the open house at the IWCM clubhouse, I asked what he knew about plans for a reunion this year, since information has not been forthcoming from other sources. Steve said the date is still not set, but the Class of 1966 reunion will probably be held during the third or fourth week of September.

Steve said Kathy Wolff, who has been active in organizing this reunion, as well as past reunions, recently left for Arizona for a month, accompanied by her husband, John (Class of 1965). It is unlikely that an exact date and lcoation for the reunion will be set until after she returns. He also mentioned that Monsine DiSalvo was on the reunion planning committee. Janet Stevens told me she'd talked to Steve Sauer, and he is also on the reunion planning committee. If you're on the committee and I haven't mentioned your name, leave a comment or send me an email.

As soon as I receive more specific, detailed information about the Madison Central High School Class of 1966 reunion, I'll post it here.
