A Message From the Committee

Dear Classmates,

In past years, reunions may have
been about "show and tell,"
but this time around, it's all about
"show up and share!"
All differences aside…

Whether you were rich or poor,
athlete or artist, an introvert or extrovert;
Whether you were maintaining a 4.0 or just sliding by;
Hanging with the "in-crowd" or living at the library…
IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Whether you're running a Fortune 500 company or just
punching the clock, retired or collecting unemployment;
Whether you're living large in luxury, getting by okay
or just flat out broke…
IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Whether you're still hot stuff, weathering well,
or aging beyond recognition;
Whether your shape is slight or ample, firm or fluffy;
Whether your hair is in abundance or a bit in absence…
IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Whether you're happily married (for the first,
second, or third time), or divorced;
Whether you're living single or with a significant other;
Whether you come with a date, or come alone…
YOU KNOW, IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!

Is our message clear yet?

There really is no excuse good enough to keep you
from attending your 40th class reunion.
We have been through so much together and possess
a shared history from the most sensitive time in our lives.
Through this we are linked for life.
Who could better understand where you are coming from?

JUNIOR HIGH Memorabilia Boards
We’re planning on wall boards mounted with
memorabilia from Rogers, Jefferson, Hill and Stanford
Junior High Schools. It’ll be a blast to look at such early
photos of our grads, but it will also give those of us
who felt like we became a “little fish in a giant ocean”
once we entered our high school years a place to
mingle and meet up with those from our earlier years.
Please contact us at 1969@WilsonHighReunion.com
if you have any photos you’d like to share.

Lodging

There are many, very nice hotels to choose from in the downtown area of Long Beach... Hilton, Hyatt, Sheraton. However, the closest to the Yacht Club are these four – Seaport Marina being the closest (just a walk over the 2nd St. bridge but really old). The nicest of these will be the very new (2008) Hampton Inn & Suites – They are offering a discount, just mention Wilson.

Alumni Book

Walk down memory lane with "Then and Now" pages featuring current photographs and up-to-date biographies. This fantastic keepsake also includes a classmate directory. You don’t need to attend the reunion to have your bio included. Just write your bio answering the topics listed below as briefly as possible. (See the sample below for how much to write - not what to write!) Your "Favorite Pastimes" should be only one short sentence and the "Highlights of My LIfe Since High School" can be about 75 words or less - a short paragraph. If you can, PLEASE EMAIL your bio back to us. That way we won’t have to retype it.
Email - including a recent photo of yourself or with your family (we already have your senior year pic) - to: 1969@WilsonHighReunion.com
Or by U.S. Post: Wilson Class of ‘69

In Memory Of

So many things have happened
Since they were called away,
So many things to share with them
had they been left to stay.
And now on this reunion day,
Memories do come our way.
Though absent, they are ever near,
still missed, remembered,
always dear.
