Chatham Class of '63

CHATHAM HIGH SCHOOL
Class of 1963

We've gotten news that Art Polakowski has suffered a stroke as is recovering. Read the full article. If that link goes stale, I've made a copy available. We all wish Art a complete and speedy recovery.

Haiti Relief.
Go to AARP.COM.
Click the "donate now" link on the right.

100% of donations will go to Haiti and AARP will MATCH our donations dollar-for-dollar up to $500K. This is a great way to double our efforts.

I received an update from Bob Tower. He and his wife Debbie are still "enjoying the international educational life." They are living in Skopje, Macedonia and working with Quality Schools International. Looks like fun. Check it out.

Our class has a new treasurer.
Steve Dungan has graciously accepted the position.
Margie King Sanders sent this message.

After much consideration, I have asked Josh to relieve me of my post as reunion treasurer. I have taken on some other responsibilities that keep me busy, especially during the spring and summer months. Working with the planning committee has been pleasure -- you are the best! -- and I will miss the thrill of catching up with many old friends by email as the checks came in. Steve Dungan has generously come forward to assume the duties, and so it is my honor to hand over the ledger to you, Steve.

Happy Holidays! Margie

Thanks, Margie, for your years of service to the class; your joyous spirit and good council. I'm sure we will see you at the 50^th in 2013. Good luck!

Two new features on the side menu. Check out Reunion '13 and Classmate Websites. More to come on the latter.

Good news. I've renewed the website hosting and domain
name for another 2 years.
So keep the news and photos coming!
The bad news. I don't have enough new info to publish now. Fortunately (or unfortunately), I've been so busy at work that I haven't really had time to work on the site.

Also, I've redone the "missing email" page to make it easier to figure out.
If you can help find these folks, everyone would truly appreciate it.

Do you have any archival photos. Contact me. If I get them, I'll treat them with utmost care. I'll scan, burn a CD and return the originals and CD to you promptly.

I am always seeking new stuff. Several classmates are looking through their photo albums and scrapbooks for old photos, newspaper articles, etc. If you find some old photos, I always prefer digitized images, but I can accept photos and negatives. I'll digitize them and return originals to you. Click link to submit anything "newsy" or fun or poignant or to find out my snail-mail address. LINK. In the meantime, Enjoy.
