We need for you to complete the response card that came with your invitation and mail it as soon as possible. We must receive this information by 04/09/09 for it to be included in a souvenir booklet. This booklet will contain current contact information, life's high points, memories of Frayser, and thoughts on going back from all classmates who respond. We want your information even if, or especially if, you will not be able to attend the reunion. 
 

In addition, the souvenir booklet will include a section for ads. See Mick McCune's message below for details. We encourage you to:

 

*A memorial section will also be included.

It's hard to believe that our 40th reunion is less than a month away. It seems like just a short time ago I noticed that the days numbered over 1,000 in the countdown block on the website. The older I get, the faster that time seems to go by.

Here's an update on the ad campaign. We feel that 4/09/09 is a realistic cutoff date to accept your art work, business cards and quips of advice and recognition. There are a few out there that always seem to have relevant things to say that I have not heard from. Do you hear me Joe?  I will be speaking with Jimmy, our website guru and see if perhaps we can start posting the ads on the website and keep each of you in the loop on what's new.

The pricing is very reasonable:

 

$25 for a business card size

$50 for a quarter page

$100 for a half page

$150 for a full page

 

Think of your participation as a donation to our fund raising efforts. Ron, you need to grasp this opportunity to promote your new book on early Memphis Wrestling. I can't wait to relive those days. Chris, surely you can give us input on the wine of choice these days. My thoughts go back to Ripple, Thunderbird and Pink Pussycat in my high school years. Everyone knows that the Grinders are building Memphis day to day. All of you have something to contribute that can move us forward in living, learning and loving.

I must acknowledge a huge note of thanks to all the committee members who have stoked the fires daily to make this event happen.  We look forward to seeing everyone at Greg and Nancy Grinders, who have graciously allowed us to meet at their home on Friday night as a warm up for the gala on Saturday 4-25-09. Thanks to Andy for making the Legends of Rock our musical venue for the evening. They took a chance and worked a deal with us that we are forever grateful for. If you've never heard them on the Memphis music scene, you're in for a real treat. Those of you, who like me, wait until the last minute to do everything - surprise us and let's get our numbers of attendees higher than they are now.

 

If you have any questions that I can answer, my work number is 301-4945 and home is 276-4443. Don't forget Nancy, I'm holding some seats at our table. I want to hear all about it. Don't forget - Man moves toward and becomes like that which he thinks.
