Update on 45th Reunion

Thanks to those of you for completing the survey about your preferences for the 45th reunion.

We received responses from 31 of the 268 registered participants out of a class of approximately 400.

Of those 31, a Saturday night buffet with a cash bar was the preferred choice with 19 votes.

That is not enough to justify the amount of volunteer effort to put a formal event together, leaving aside deposits for the venue and other costs involved.

We have decided to forgo the 45th reunion and count on more of our classmates to participate in our 50th reunion in 2029.

If classmates would like to participate in some informal get together (and most people selected September or October), please send email and we will post your ideas.

See you all in 2029 for the big 5-0!

Thanks!

In Memory of Mark Baker

CAHS People are Everywhere!

This comes from Kerrie (Thomas) Morse, who is living her best life at The Villages, FL.  She recently ran into Assistant Principal Leonard Nowicki and his wife Jill at the Three Rivers Club meeting held there.  He was so excited to see someone from Churchill and they had a great visit.  For those who may not remember, Jill Nowicki was a Home Economics teacher at Churchill until she retired in 1974 to raise their children.  They all reminisced about going to school in Churchill and what a great school it was.

Kerrie also reported that she was seated with another Churchill graduate, Jeff Clapp (1971), whose sister Jean Clapp was in the class of 1977.

And, as so often is the case, Kerrie and Jeff were laughing since they didn't think they could bring themselves to call him Len after years of being Mr. Nowicki!
