70th Birthday Trip to KC - stay at a hotel on the Plaza during the week, try to reserve a place for dinner a couple of nights, do some shopping, offer some tours? Thinking of spring or fall.
We had some great ideas at our Quarterly luncheon. Any other ideas are welcome for the get togethers.

We are in the process of creating a comprehensive class list, so please click on the "Classmate Profiles" tab from the menu on the lefthand side to make your personal updates so we can keep you informed!
This includes your email address, snail mail address, house and/or cell phone numbers, and name change (if applicable).
None of your contact information will be shared publicly.
Classmates can send each other a private message via the website, but it does not provide the classmate's specific contact information. BOTH individuals need to have a profile though, so be sure to set yours up!
If you don't create a profile, we'll think you are "missing" and lost forever!
