Hello, Saints! We started this website to help us get ready for our 20th reunion. Our reunion was during Concordia’s 2008 Fall Festival weekend (September 5-7). Saints from any year are welcome to register here and leave a little info about yourself. Feel free to post questions, polls, news and anything else. The more the merrier.
I just uploaded a few more photos to flicker.com. Lauren took all of them. I must have really liked talking with you guys, because I didn’t even notice that she took over 400 pictures. She put them together into a little movie (as she is wont to do), but I’m holding it hostage until Brad puts his pictures up for the rest of us to see. I know he took a few…
The reunion was awesome. I posted the list of attendees on Brad’s blog and he asked me to post it here too…so here it is. Please fill in any/all gaps I have missed..
List of attendees…
Did I leave anyone out from the class? This is off the top of my head.
Folks we saw that were at the beer garden but not from our class…
Teachers&SPLHS staff from back in the day…
I am sure there are others that were before my time there or that I didn’t know.
The 4yr folks will have to fill in the rest of the blanks.
It was a wonderful time and I am so glad I went.
Here’s the email that Brad sent out yesterday. I’m posting it here in-case anyone else just happens to want to show up and crash the reunion. I think I speak for at least two other people when I say, “Sure, everyone’s invited.”
Dear Everybody,
Here is a proposed schedule of events. Sorry it’s late in coming. The reunion snuck up too quickly.
Of course, the Fall Festival is happening all weekend. See www.concordiafallfestival.com for scheduled events.
Friday
- If you’re staying at Biltz, come to the front door. Either someone will be waiting, or the keys will be left on the altar in the lobby. Our contacts are Rosalie Pennington or Walter Loeber. If you can’t find anybody, my cell is 410-419-2688.
- Nothing formal is planned for Friday evening. Anybody have ideas? The Heidelberg Gardens might be a logical place to meet.
Saturday
- 10:00am - 11:30am Greetings from St. Paul’s Executive Director, Rev. Paul Mehl, who will give us a quick update on what’s going on at St. Paul’s. Afterward, we’ll take a walking tour of campus with Alumni Director Walter Loeber.
If you planned to stay at Biltz during the reunion, it’s time to send in the registration form and payment. CLICK HERE for the form.
Alumni guy Walter Loeber says we have a conference room at our disposal. Check out the other amenities HERE. There are rooms with one queen bed and rooms with two. Each room has its own bathroom.
And now here’s a picture of Biltz, thanks to someone named Margaret Hensley’s Picasa Web album. She must know Dave Rogner, because if you click the left arrow, there he is, plain as day.
Well, as most of you probably know, thanks to Bart we seem to have raised $2,060.00 for a bid at St. Paul’s Annual Auction. That didn’t turn out to be enough to win the bid for the tree (the tree went for $2,500.00), but we did win the “Name the street sign” for the Quad. The winning bid was $2000.
Bart’s idea to go for the tree so that we wouldn’t have to agree on a name for the sign was sheer genius, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. If you’re not getting the emailed ideas for names, let Bart know. I’ll try to summarize the ideas so far (mostly by copying Bart’s and everyone else’s email)…
A memorial of sorts for Victor and Mike…
In Honor of a teacher…
Something having to do with our graduation year…
Everything else…
Feel free to add comments about ideas or more ideas here or continue to bounce emails around.
