Just wanted to send an email today to officially mark 20 years.  Seriously, how has it been 20 years?

June 6, 1988 we were getting ready for a big night.  Commencement.  Senior Party.  Sleep all day on June 7th.  Looking forward to our bright futures and dreaming big.  Believing our class quote - "Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers." by the great Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Looking back on that night, I just glanced through the photos on the website (including the commencement program).  It is very cool that the Invocation, Acceptance of Class, Presentation of Diplomas and Benediction were all done by our classmates' parents!

Check out some photos.  Please send me pics to add to photo albums.  Thanks!


WHAT HAPPENED ON JUNE 6, 1988? (According to various sources on internet)
-Class of Coeur d'Alene High School graduated - ceremonies held at NIC due to weather.
-George Bush makes campaign promise to support reparations for WW II
-3 giant turtles found in Bronx sewage plant
-Japanese-American internees (promise broken, May 1989)
-Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom strips jockey Lester Piggott of his Order of the British Empire following his jailing for tax irregularities.
-22nd Music City News Country Awards: Randy Travis and Statler Brothers

Race for the Cure
Hi everyone.  I am participating in Race for the Cure this Saturday in Washington DC.  I would be honored to walk in celebration of anyone in our class that has faced this horrible disease.  If you don't mind sharing, please let me know your story at cnichols@wc.com.

Dave and I are walking in memory of our sister-in-law Celeste Nichols, who lost her battle to breast cancer in 2006. She was only 38 years old. We will also be walking with Jim & Celeste's two kids. Our niece Alexandra ("Alex") is now 8 and Hunter will be 7 by the time of the race.

I will be 38 as of race day and thanks to a promise I made to Celeste, I had my first mammogram in 2006 to establish a baseline. Celeste was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer at age 37 and did not have a family history of breast cancer and had never had a mammogram. It's never too early to have a mammogram. If you're a woman, please consider Celeste the next time you see your doctor. If you love a woman, please urge her to do the same. A few minutes of discomfort will at least establish a baseline for all future tests to be compared.

Thank you for your support and donation.


There is on obligation whatsoever, but if you would like to make a donation, you can do so on
my personal web page.  Thank you in advance!

Cheryl

Yesterday was May 18th.  Who didn't look at the calendar yesterday and instantly think of Mt. St. Helen's?  Yesterday was the 28th anniversary of Mount Saint Helen's blowing her top!  Hard to believe.  That was quite a day.

I still have my jar of ash.

We are entering a float in the Cd'A 4th of July Parade!
Donnie Bryntesen had a great idea.  We are going to be in the Cd'A 4th of July Parade!  "Class of 1988 - 20 Years Later" 
Our float will be dedicated to our entire class with a special tribute to classmates lost and classmates served in the armed services.  Donnie is heading up the entire project and is getting the flat bed  donated, having high school cheerleaders make banners and getting candy donated to throw to the crowd.  Thank you Donnie!

If you'd like to participate, please RSVP (see RSVP page).  Donnie is also having t-shirts made and will cost about $10 which can pay for on Thursday at Brix or Friday morning at the parade.  If you'd like a t-shirt, please indicate which size (S, M, L, XL, XXL). 

Spouses and children are invited to join you in the parade.

Please Add Your Profile!
We are up to 70 profiles! 

Whether you plan to attend the reunion or not, p

lease add your information today!  We want to know how you have spent the last 20 years.  Seriously, how has it been 20 years?


It only takes 5 minutes and you can add pictures later. I can add your senior pic from our senior yearbook as your "then" picture and you can change later if you'd like. You are free to edit content of your profile as often as you'd like. I'd really appreciate it because the website generates a report for me (and of course, we want to know how and what you have been doing for 20 years!). Otherwise, I have to manually enter everyone's information which would take more time than I have right now - reunion is only 49 days away!!! Thanks!
