CORRESPONDENCE WITH CLASSMATES
(Scroll down for previous letters)

Letter to Classmates from Aug. 3, 2009

Dear Classmate,

We held a meeting of the reunion committee yesterday in Staunton.  We had a great afternoon tying up details for the weekend, chatting, eating, and just enjoying each other’s company.  We also took the opportunity to look at those folks that we have not yet heard from as yet.  If you are planning to attend and have not yet sent in your registration, we really hope you will do so ASAP.  We think this promises to be the best reunion yet.  The venue is very special and as we grow older we all are aware of the significance of our growing up experiences and friendships.  It just won’t be the same without you!  There is not a single classmate that someone isn’t especially looking forward to seeing.  You are that person.

If you have already responded,  thank you and we are so happy you are coming.  If for some reason, you just can’t make it to this reunion, please take the time to share what you’ve been doing over the years and any thoughts that you have about our high school days.  You can do this easily by visiting our website at http://www.leehighclassof64.com   and using the provided link to Deane Dozier’s e-mail or respond to this e-mail.  She has already posted a number of classmates’ responses.  They are such fun to read.

We talked with the hotel today and there are a few rooms still remaining at the discounted rate of $99+tax/night.  We don’t think you will find a better rate and the rooms are truly charming. The additional plus is we will be hanging out there all weekend! 

Finally, we invite those of you who have memorabilia to share to bring it with you, clearly marked with your name, and we will display it at the reunion. Also, you have a chance to request music you want to hear by going to the website as well. 

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have. 

Looking forward to Sept 11-13th!

Bill & Jo Viglione
Chairs, Reunion Committee
R. E. Lee Class of ‘64

P.S.

Bill lost his yearbook before graduation.  Apparently, he gave it to someone to sign and never got it back!  It would really be fun to find that someone has it after all these years. 

Letter to Classmates from July 16, 2009

Hello Classmate!

This is to let you know that there are still a few rooms available for our reunion at the rate of $99+tax/night at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel.
 If you are interested in reserving a room please call ASAP at 540-885-4848 or toll free 866-880-0024. You can view information about the hotel at:  www.stonewalljacksonhotel.com. Also, remember to mention our reunion so you will be given the group rate.

Plans are coming together for the weekend and we have folks traveling from as far as Canada & Alaska!  If you have not sent your registration and are planning to attend, please do so as soon as possible.  It really helps for planning purposes.  We will be meeting with the hotel in the next couple of weeks to firm up plans, so it would help to have a clear idea of the attendance at that point.

Also, Deane Dozier has put a lot of work into our very own website but we would love to hear from classmates.  We’d like to hear about your life and also would enjoy having you share memories of our high school years.  It’s a great way for us all to connect.  Please visit the website at www.leehighclassof64.com .  You can also access information about the reunion there as well.  The registration form is also on the website.

Looking forward to seeing you in September.  It promises to be a weekend to remember!
