• 9/7/2011 This note from Gordon Ridley '68:  "I note in browsing these pages that one entry mentioned Mr. Baker and Mr. Aune. The former was our 7th grade science teacher and is best known for inventing the "Rac-owl". An amateur taxidermist, Mr. Baker combined the body of an owl, the head of a racoon and the legs/feet of a racoon. He placed it in a visible location in the classroom and mostly wanted to watch parents' reactions to it on parent nite. He told us many took a second look but then acted like it was a completely normal creature. 50 years ago and this I remember, in addition, of course to the solid scientific foundation he provided for us. Mr. Aune(pretty sure), was our eighth grade social studies teacher, the school year of President Kennedy's assasination and the Beatles invasion. Gordon Ridley '68"

It was interesting to see and visit some of our former students....Class of 62 & 63 & 64 & 65. And to visit with former colleagues. I was there for six hours!! And the food and beverages were tasty and served without waiting!  I hope that financially your budgeting came out o.k.

• 10/04/2010 This note from Donald Goff '75:  "I am hoping someone can fill in the lost years between around 1978-to the time of his passing. Danny Alford was a close friend of mine, we grew up together, were neighbors and buddies. Last time I talked to him he'd come out to Arizona to hangout. He spent about a month here then went back to Michigan, never heard from him again. I've often wondered where he ended up, with who, and now that he's gone what was the cause of his death. He was a young man. I think about him and the good times we had. Its sad knowing he's gone, God must of had other plans for Danny.  Anyone with any information I would like to hear from you. Thx. Don Goff" dtg1812@hotmail.com

• 9/2/2010  Share List:  To date, nearly 400 of or alumni and faculty have provided authorization for the committee to share their contact information on request, an outstanding number and all-time high since we started keeping these records!  Check out the share list on the "Share" tab and consider adding your name to it.  The rules for sharing are simple: The Alumni Association will only provide email or postal address of persons who have said it is ok to do so.  You may ask for somebody's contact info if your name is also on the list and you MUST be a former CHHS classmate or faculty member.  Anyone who wishes to be added to the list must check the "yes" box at the bottom of the "Update Your Info" page when you fill it out.  If you have already provided your updated info you need not fill out the entire form again, only name and class year. 
   

• 8/31/2010  Reunion Planning Update:  As some of you may have heard, the Cherry Hill School of Performing Arts (our High School building) has closed due to a change in their Charter.  The people involved have indicated to us that the facilities will most likely be leased for this school year (2010/2011) and reopen under a new Charter the following year. Also, the person whom we were previously dealing has retired so we will be dealing with a new person in securing the property.  We are still very hopeful that we will be able to hold our reunion at the school as in the past, but they cannot confirm our request at this time.  We anticipate receiving confirmation sometime in October.  In the mean time, we have one of our committee persons looking for a suitable alternate location in the event we are unable to use the school property.  We are still moving forward with a goal of the latter part of July 2011.  This minor delay will not hinder our planning ability but we are disappointed that we cannot give you a confirmed date and place.
   

• 8/31/2010  This note from Tom Flavin '71  "Suzy, my deceased wife and I, had four children. Three years after cancer took Suzy's life, I married Judy. She had five grown sons. Now, we have a total of nine children and nine grandchildren. Judy is a Texan so we spend time there with her kids.  When they all come to Catoosa, we have people eating and sleeping and visiting all over our home. One of Judy's sons has a farm, so we get plenty of the outdoors and are free menial labor in Texas. We are looking forward to being with this mob as long as they want us and need us.  Judy teaches college English and I work in the Hydraulic industry keeping oil companies happy."
