Here's the reminder for the April birthday lunch!  It will be on Monday, April 23rd, at 1 PM at Papa Felipe's, 9800 Menaul NE (Menaul and Eubank NE) --  Marty Glantz Farmer and Marcy McVey Cates have graciously stepped forward to be the designated celebrants, and to collaborate to make it happen, many thanks!  

Several of the "usual suspects" have let us know that they're unavailable this month, so it may be a more intimate gatherings, a little different kind of experience.  Who else will join us?  Let us know!

Helen Stambaugh (Williams)

I am doing grandmother duty, so I won't be there this time.  See you in May.

Walter Huebner

Sorry to say Monday lunch is tentative for me.  I have a dermatologist's appointment at 11:00 on Monday morning.  If the visit goes too long, I may not make the lunch.  So if I don't show, you know what happened!

Ellen Coyne (Harvey)

Judy & I will attend 😊 Ellen Coyne Harvey 

George Boyden

Have a Doc's appt, but will do my best to join you all, even if it is

just a desert adult beverage............  George Boyden  + Tooey

Monday's April classmates' birthday lunch was yet another firecracker in the string!  We met at Papa Felipe's, and present were Marcy McVey Cates, Susie Strong Neuschwanger, Walt Huebner, Lorraine Barth and Ricardo,Sandy Stewart Smallwood, Mary Ann Simanek Villarreal, Steve Brooks, Sandy Bryan, Toddy Tackett, Jerry Goffe, Marty Glantz Farmer, Hank and Anna Nusbaum, George and Tooey Boyden, Judy  Coyne, Ellen Coyne Harvey, Lynn Brosman, and me. We have officially exceeded the possibility of fitting everyone into a single picture  fra me, wow!  Many thanks to Marty Farmer for serving as photographer. 

I missed the conversation at the other end of the table, of course, but would like to thank a few classmates in particular for their contributions:   To Steve Brooks for news updates.  To Ellen Harvey for encouraging contributions to the Timeline that she has been updating for so many years, now -- she made notes of updates from those sitting close enough, collected paper-napkin notes, and reminded us all of the upcoming May 1 deadline to have our milestones included.  I thank her --  as well as the others coordinating -- for such great energy toward making our 55th reunion a success!  And to Jerry Goffe for his Los Lunas restaurant recommendation -- Toddy and I had a chance to try Teofilo's, and really enjoyed our meal.  You're now two-for-two, and I think I would eat just about anywhere that you would recommend!  

Now, of course, on to May -- and June, already.  I hope that people with birthdays in both months will speak up and identify themselves.  

One of my thoughts is to schedule June's birthday lunch for Monday, June 11, right after the end of the reunion weekend.  Some of us may be "partied out", but there might be a handful of out-of-towners who could stay a day longer, to join us for lunch.  Opinions?

Tracy and I will be attending the June gathering, I also happen to be a June birthday girl.  I think I missed something, because I don't know when and where the May lunch will be

My younger son, Travis, and his wife, Nicole, are currently in route from Denver to Albuquerque for Regional swim and diving competition at UNM to take place tomorrow, April 28th and Sunday April 29th.  Their daughter, (my beautful grandaughter), Kyndall Tatum, just turned 15, is diving Saturday at 11:30 and Sunday at 9:00.

Her first year diving and she took 11th in state, shows terrific potential. Swing by the UNM pool this weekend and watch an Olympiad in the making.  She is from Arapahoe High School.

Introduce yourself to Travis and Nicole, Kyndall, and their son, Landess, 13.

Having shuffled around all of the available information, Monday, May 21 has been settled upon as the date for our May classmates' birthday lunch.  1 PM, as usual.  Place is still to be confirmed, so suggestions are still welcome.  Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

I will be wherever we decide to eat on the 21st.  Also, I am RSVPing for Mike & Ruth as well.

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

I plan on going to the lunch.

Another subject. Our deadline is coming up May 15 to let Helen or Neil know if they are coming to the 55th reunion. I asked a classmate on Facebook if they were coming and she said that this was the first she knew about it. Got another comment from another classmate saying the same thing essentially.

If you read this please get a hold of classmates you are in contact with and get the word out ASAP even if you aren't able to come yourself but hope everyone comes that can.  Info is on this website.  

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

Now 3 have said they had no idea about the reunion so I guess we have a lot of classmates who do not read the forum. Please inform your classmates. :)

Mary Ann Simanek (Villarreal)

I will be at the May lunch where ever we go.  I will not be able to participate in the reunion golf game.  Mary Ann

Sandra Stewart (Smallwood)

Count me in for the May luncheon.  I do, howerver, have the plumber coming between 10-12 pm., but think all is doable.

Thanks to those who have already responded!  Who else will join us to celebrate Mary Ann Simanek Villarreal and Jerry Goffe, and perhaps others?

Thanks, Ellen, for posting the reminder on the Home Page,to RSVP for your puzzle event, midday on the Friday of our reunion weekend -- I hope that you get a flood of responses.  

For those who are undecided, let me encourage you to get in on this Puzzle!  I joined in the Scavenger Hunt that Ellen organized for the 50th reunion, and it turned out to be one of the most fun events of the entire weekend -- as I've told many people in the years following.  She has a gift for this sort of thing, no surprise, and I'm looking forward to seeing what she's come up with, this time! 

And, I'm looking forward to seeing so many at this Monday's lunch!
