Hi All -
Since our reunions will be across the hall from each other, at the same times on the same days in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, there was a joint meeting today of members of the Class of '47 Reunion Steering Committee with members of the Combo Reunion Committee for the classes of '45 and '46, to synchronize schedules
. Present for the Class of '47 were Bob Bailey, Jim Bell, Gene Eberle, Dick and Sylvia Finch, Nancy Eaton Martin and Elsie Weaver Mears. Dewey Glasscock and Mike Kumpuris represented the Combo Reunion Committee.
There will be two hospitality rooms at the hotel, serving hors d'oeurves and drinks, open Friday afternoon and evening, and then again Saturday afternoon and evening, One of the hospitality rooms will be manned by the combo reunion and the other by members of the Class of '47. The Class of '47 needs to recruit couples to serve shifts in staffing their room.
If you think you might be interested in helping with the sixtieth reunion by helping s taff our hospitality room, please send an email to j22bell@sbcglobal.net.
Thanks,
Jim

EDITORS' NOTE--Got this from Mike Kumpuris or Buddy Coleman or Bill Hoffman (they didn't say) via snail mail yesterday (January 21, 2007). It was written in November as you can see. A note inside of the Combo Reunion Notice said it had sent to the wrong address & it came back, of course. The notice was SCANNED.

EDITOR'S NOTE--Got this from Mike Kumpuris of Cleveland Avenue via
snail-mail sent to my old address. Don't live at 518 Spring Road,
Westerville, Ohio, anymore. Live in Newark some 45 minutes away. The
Classes are having a REUNION in 2007 so will put on '45 & '46 Class. It's
orange with white strip at top because it's scanned!

EDITOR's NOTE--Got the following three letters by snail-mail. Scanned the 3 as don't have time to retype them, as should be, and put on LRHS Website. Think the scanned copies don't look so good, but will have to do. It appears by the first letter that the '45 and '46 Classes had a great reunion and turnout, too.. The following three scanned letters follow!

Editor's Note -- Bill Hoffman of the '45 class sent the following letter for the '45 LRHS Website site. Classmates should try to attend this Combo Class Reunion of 60 years!

Dear 1945 and 1946 Clasmates.
It's been 60 years since we haunted the Royal, Arkansas and Roxy Theatres, Walgreens, Fifth and Main, and went to football games as well as Swing Inn. Those wonderful memories will stay with us forever. Let's get together and work on a few more.
The two classes are holding a reunion on Friday and Saturday, May 20, and May 21, 2005, at the Holiday Inn Select on Shackleford Rd. and Markham in Little Rock and we want YOU to come. Rooms will be available at the Holiday Inn.
Your reunion is shaping up like this: Friday afternoon will be registration. Our Hospitality Room will be stocked and awaiting your visit. Friday night will feature food, music, and time for conversation till "auld lang resigns". Saturday morning we will inspect the million dollar renovation to our Alma Mater and then have lunch there. Saturday afternoon we plan a visit to the brand new Clinton Presidential Library. It's a beautiful and historic showplace. Back at the Holiday Inn, the Hospitality Room will be open for your pleasure. Saturday night we will enjoy the usual reception, dinner and music by the Bob Boyd Band. The Hospitality Room will be open after dinner till ??
We have worked hard to keep the cost to about the same as it was for the last reunion. Donations to help offset operating expenses have been received and we will, of course, accept your donation at any time... THANKS!
More definate information will be sent to you later along with your registration forms. Can you believe that we are 75...76...even 78 years old now? This gives us every reason to make this reunion a memorable success.
Remember...the 30 plus people who work and plan your reunion are having a whole year's worth of fun doing it. Join us now! SEE YOU AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN MAY!
Buddy Coleman and Mike Kumpuris, Co-Chairmen

Editor's Note -- Folks, scanned the pre-registration LRHS form and Holiday Inn Select post card since the stuff was sent via snail-mail. Retyped the 3rd letter since it doesn't look so well scanned!! Haven't figured yet to avoid scanning and don't want to go to extra work, either!
