GREGORY HEIGHTS SCHOOL
CLASSMATES OF 1957 UPDATE
PIZZA PARTY
To
all of our GHS Classmates of 1957: We
hope this announcement finds you enjoying good health and prosperity. At our class reunion Bill Maggs made the
suggestion that there be an annual or semi-annual informal gathering for those
who wished to keep in touch. We had a
big response in favor, so a reservation for the banquet room at a local pizza
restaurant has been made for Saturday, March 22nd. (Does it seem that 6 more months will have
gone by that fast?) It will be a
no-host casual gathering.
PLACE: Stark Street
Pizza – Located at the corner of SE 92nd Avenue and SE Stark Street
in Portland.
TIME: Between 3:00 PM and 7:00
PM. Just stop in anytime.
ONE LAST THANKS
TO THE ORIGINAL REUNION COMMITTEE
Appreciation
was given at our reunion to the group that made it all happen. After the reunion at Gregory Heights, a few
classmates continued on at a local hamburger stand. (How many of you remember Jim Dandy Drive-In, located across from
the old Sandy Boulevard Drive-In Theatre?)
Amongst other conversation, we found that the committee didn’t just
simply get permission from the school itself.
There were liability issues from the School District that had to be
resolved. And permits. And separate janitorial issues. And just prior to the reunion taking place,
the Portland School District decided that as a cost-cutting measure they would
lay off their entire janitorial staff and change to a contract service. The committee had to scramble at the last
minute to deal with that change. And
last, but not least, the unbelievable amount of hours put in for research to
locate our classmates. So, for one last
time, thanks to the original committee members for an outstanding job well
done. You really made it happen.

A QUICK
SURVEY
This
flyer has been mailed to all of our classmates because we would like to
take a quick survey from everyone. Many
classmates, as well as the original committee members, were just absolutely
amazed at the turnout and success of our reunion. The original committee had decided not to wait for any specific
year, but rather to have it as soon as possible. In view of the tremendous success of the event, the question has
come up. Are we going to have a true
“50 year” class reunion in 2007? So if
you are not coming to the pizza party, would you please take a moment and relay
your thoughts to us about a 50 year reunion.
Thanks in advance for your response.
It is appreciated!
If
you are in favor, respond to Bill Maggs.
