Hi Pat, Have you heard from any of the old CSC people? I read about Dave Perrin from time to time, I believe he was at UVA in Charlottesville and now down at NC State. I used to go to VA alot years ago, really nice area there, alot like VT. I keep in touch with some people I have met while at CSC, but none of the SHS alumni that went there, guess we all went our separate ways. Have you been to any of the CSC reunions?
Take it easy and have a nice weekend.............Nancy

Hi everyone, I'm back from my trip south. Hope everyone is well.

John thanks so much for getting this inf. from Ron. I'll bet they're all relieved that things are coming together. I'll post the inf. on classmates and send it out to the list as well. I'll ask for RSVP's and get the responses to you as soon as I have them. Thanks again.

Thanks for the update, John, I will pass on to some that are not on Blogger.......I would like to help out in any way that I can. It sounds like they have been very busy already.........I know we all appreciate the work that the group there has done.........Nancy

HEY FELLOW BLOGGEES! Jerry - yes I did just find out that Nancy, Alice & Rob are here. As a matter of fact, I just found out in the last few days when BLOGGER started. And you're absolutely correct - it was quite warm around here today. You had to have your a/c on in the car. The sun gets really hot. But really good skinny-dipping weather for those that like to partake! LOL! Later yall! Jane

John, Thanks for the details. All efforts are greatly appreciated!!!!!

Jerry, I just found out that Jane lived here a couple of weeks ago. Alice and I talk from time to time. I found out at the 25th reunion that she was here, but couldn't find her. Thanks to refinment in the internet I found her brother about two years ago, contacted him and he told me that Alice and I are living in the same city. I don't see her as often as I would like, but she has a son a year older than my daughter, he goes to one Jr. High, my daughter another, but they will go to the same High School in a coule of years, and they are both in the band, if that continues I'm sure we'll see lots more of each other

Hey John, thanks for checking with Ron and providing all the details known so far for all of us to see. Good job! Many thanks to the group that is meeting and telephoning and visiting and asking questions and gathering information. Jane, I see that it got up to at least 80 in Dallas today. How was that? It might reach 60 around here tomorrow. Have you just found out that Nancy, Alice and Rob are right in the same area as you, or have you ever contacted any of them before this? OK, I never did this, but if I'd ever skinny dipped it might have been in Seavers Brook in the culvert running under South Street near the former Ginter home at Scrabble Four Corners. Y'all know where that is? Or anybody remember a party Sue Ainsworth had at the pond at her house once? Was any done there???

Forgot to mention that they are looking into some sort of entertainment also.
Not sure of all the final details until later this is just a brief discussion on what has been talked about.
The place and date are definite from what I understand.

Ok here is an update from Ron Young. They have rented the Rockingham Inn which has a Motor Lodge on the 22nd. It will hold about 200 people I guess. It has a hall and a Motel right there which the Motel I think will hold about 30 or 40 people. The rates for the Motel are about 70.00 for 2 people. We have the hall from Noon on into the night. They are looking about how much it would cost to cater a meal. Understand that most everything around is booked up for that time. This was the most reasonable place from the choices. It would be nice to get an idea on how many might show so that they can figure out what the cost of Catering will be. So Ron has asked to get a count on here how many might show. They are working hard on getting some sort of invitation out to this. They have the addresses from 5 years ago. The next meeting will be on the 21st of this month at the Spfld. High School in the cafeteria to go over more planning. They are trying to figure out all options. It's not easy in the town where ghost live. The hall has volleyball and horseshoes out back. This is our 30th and they are working hard at trying to put something together for us all. There is only a hand full of people that have been going to the meetings so it’s not like we have everybody doing something. They have already talked to allot of people at different places. Anyway I just thought that I would post this and let everybody here know what the update is at this point. Location of this place is after you get off exit 6 I believe on 91 then head towards Bellows Falls it is down the road about a mile on the left. Not sure of the exact distance. So that is it for now to all the bloggers. Keep blogging. Keep in mind that there could be some blogging errors.

Hi Everbody, Jane and Patty, I hope we can get together while Patty is here. When I talked to Rob he mentioned something about all of us getting together, maybe we can do it while you're here Patty.
Well, that's all for now. Bye all

Jane I look forward to dumping my coat! I've never been a fan of cold weather but my family keeps moving closer to the north pole.

Sooooo Jerry what's your answer???????

Jerry, We are not hearing about your escapades here. Maybe the question was too narrow. Try this one instead, "Have you ever been naked?", "Would you do it again?"

I know I was not skinny dipping alone at 20 Foot and I also know someone went over the fence for a dip in the town pool, I just can't remember who it was. Surely you can't still be fined for admitting it and I think it is definitely worth the bragging rights to claim some very decent exposure.

HI EVERYONE!!!! Hey wild Patti - the countdown is at 30 days! 30 days from today you will be arriving here in Dallas. I'm looking so forward to your visit. By the way, you won't need to bring any coats or jackets. Anybody else want to come to Dallas??? There are 4 of us that I know are living here: Nancy Brown, Alice Ankuda, Rob Massonneau and myself. We can make it the "preview to the reunion", sort of like the spring break most of us never had.
Hey - does anybody ever travel here? Please let me know. I'd love to see you again. I made a mistake and lost contact with everyone for 30 years. That's a lot of time to make up for! I want to know of all the excitement, news, etc. for the last 30 yrs. I just found out that Fellows Corp. shut down. I tell you - down here in TX, I don't have any idea what's going on. It's great hearing COSMOS again, and Fergies pits, etc. Where the heck did all those years go??? And who ever would have thought I would end up in Texas?? I sure didn't!! I'm a die-hard yankee (which doesn't go over real good around here). Later y'all! Everybody keep in touch on the blogger!

Jerry it's none of your business how old I was. Let's just say old enough to hope I didn't get caught!

John ask and you shall receive Ron Young's in charge and here's his phone number 802-263-5364. anyone who can confirm plans we'd love to hear about it. Apparently going to these meetings is coming here. I have written to a couple of people specially about the meeting but no word back.

I'll be off line for a few days. Travelling south to a training session on the use of and integration of the ibook into our classrooms. We're all PC people so this should be interested. Our middle school is one of 8 in the state of Maine chosen as a pilot school for a planned fall rollout of ibooks for every 7th grader in the state. They'll be school owned and maintained but each school has its' own ideas of what to do with them as far as letting them go home with students etc. We're not letting them out of our sight for the first year.

Hey Gang, Polly emailed me and said that she had heard that the reunion was going to be at the Rockingham Motor Inn.....have to find a DJ and also it has to be catered.........anyone have any ideas? Guess they have to try and find a place big enough, and close enough.........guess we need a verification? You know how those rumors start (smile). have a good evening/day whatever.............Nancy

I'm dropping in again. Anybody for a Dr. Pepper, or were you thinking of something a bit stronger, John? Patti says it's been pretty quiet here lately. Bang! Clang! Bash! Pow! Boing! Oink! Hee haw! Well, I tried. Hello Lori. Thanks for dropping in to say a hi. Hi Richard. So Patti, how old were you when you skinny dipped at Silver Lake in Barnard?? Were you three or four? Come on now. I have to talk to Nancy sometime, too. Have a nice March 13 everyone.

Yup got that all right. It looks like its going to be tough to find a place around Spfld. for this special time. Any ideas.
I had to work late the night of the meeting so I didn't make it. Who is in Charge of this. Ron Young? Maybe we should
get whoever is planning this phone number and make a call so that we can post it here what is going on and keep everyone up to date.
Sounds like this is more of a meeting then what is happening outside. Jerry good job on the COSMOS.
Well sounds like we all could use a little drink. here c[_]

Hey John welcome!!! If you click on the calendar dates you'll see everything that's been said over the month. I'm glad my advice on getting in worked. By any chance did you attend the meeting last week? We're all wondering how things are going.

Never mind I figured it out.

Okay I made it but I only see 5 messages in here. Where is everybody. LOL>>>

Prim and proper little ole me would have to say I get no points at all. I never went skinny dipping anywhere near Springfield. Although I used to go skinny dipping in Silver Lake in Barnard when my family was at camp over there. No points for that though I guess. The fresh water around here all has leeches. No skinny dipping recommended.

Maybe a game would help. Where have you been skinny dipping in the Springfield area (bonus points for the town pool)? Would you do it again?

I can only claim 20' swimming hole in Reading, under the train trestle bridge on the Williams river, and a miserable attempt with Brian King at Candy and Brad Ingalls' pool. It was 2:00 AM and we got wet, but we were quickly in the spotlight with Lorraine and Bob (the parents) choking back laughter from their balcony.

In the future, I might skinny dip at 20', but definitely not that at the Ingalls' pool.

Don't have anything to add about the reunion. Just felt like saying hi again. Hi! Who else is out there?

yuck yuck

Maybe there were no survivors?

I'm sorry to say I haven't gotten any e-mail from any who went to the meeting last TH at Riverside. I don't know what that means. I assume the meeting was held. if there is anyone who knows what is happening with the plans I know we'd all like to hear about it.
