I am just catching up to this site and it is wonderful. As for the year book, I attended the alumni picnic yesterday and Rachel (Harris) class of '70 was there with her book. I am also from class of '70 and have my book. I'll see if there is additional information I can get to you about the publisher.

Stay in touch,
Kathy (Patten) Irving

Hi Mary,

The Classes of '70, '71 & '72 combined, so in 2012 we are having a 40 plus reunion cruise, but depending on how our fundraisers and things go, we are hoping to do a little something in 2010 and 2011 for '70 and '71, it may even be in the form of a fundraiser, but something to acknowledge your year.

It disappoints me, more than a little bit, that the hard work of the reunion committee culminated in an exotic trip to tropical ports-of-call.  In short, your work appears to be the task of elites and then designed to exclude the vast majority of our class (1972) from coming together at a big event to celebrate, as a class, our graduation some 40 years hence.  
 
At the very minimal, a more viable and inclusive dinner/dance cruise could be had on our world-class lakefront.  It would be grand, without costing over a grand - as will the eastern Caribbean excursion that you planned for us.  Moreover, here, during late August, we would not have to worry about cruising in the middle of hurricane season.  
 
Surely the reunion committee put a lot of work into planning the cruise.  Props for that.  And it does not escape me that the 40-year reunion is a big deal - as is still being on this plane.  Yet I am one of (I project) many Cavaliers who will not attend for any number of reasons, with the most salient for me being that the reunion committee's proposed trip seems to be designed for a certain "class" instead of for our entire class.

Hi Classmates

Just wanted to let you know of a few reminders for the upcoming 40 Plus Reunion Cruise scheduled for 2012. 

1.  Please fill out the registration form because it will provide all your vital information needed to block your cabin.

2.  Cancellation and protection Insurance is based on cabin type.

     Inside cabin  and Oceanview cabin - the cost is $95.00   Balcony Cabin cost is  $104.00

     The cost is per person.

3.  If you divide the cost of the cruise into weekly payments with the intention of paying the cruise off in 8 months your payments are as following:

     Inside Cabin  -  $24.01 weekly   per person

     Oceanview Cabin  - 27.45 weekly   per person

      Balcony Cabin  - 32.78 weekly   per person

Hope this helps you see how affordable a cruise can be.  Remember this cost includes all you can eat (24 hrs a day), entertainment, and the ability to visits several ports.  You'll be able to shop at the different ports and purchase such items as jewelry, liquor, spices, clothing and many more at discounted prices.  You're also have the opportunity go on tours.

The ship also offers a casino, duty free shopping, spas, bingo and a adult only area for relaxing while on the ship.

Obviously, I did not (could not) know all the members of my class (‘72).  More than likely, dear reader, we are unfamiliar with each other.  Still, I had my friends/associates, and my time at CVS helped to shape both my worldview and self-impressions.

Sadly, although not a statistical outlier - given that over 40 years have passed - the site shows that four classmates known to me have left this plane: Yolanda Roach was a dear friend, Michael Ward and I were on speaking terms, and I enjoyed Elizabeth Denise Pauls’ baked goods.

Dorothy West and I met about 25 years post-graduation, as a result of a very serious fix involving her son, Jeffery. 

She wore her hair naturally at the time.  Being a natural man, I gave her high-compliments.  Dorothy replied, dryly, that while she liked the style, shortly after the birth of her first child, “My hair would curled so tight that it gave me migraines.”  (Consequently, for a while she got her hair “did,” wore wigs, and otherwise presented, in my opinion, unnaturally.)  We both cracked-up.  And to this day I’m not sure that if she were just jesting.

During that difficult time we became friends. 

Also, I got to know Jeffery’s father, a CVS alum, as well as his too sweet grandmothers.  Humbly, I spoke on his (and my own) behalf at her “home-going” service.  There, it touched me to see the many folks touched favorably by Dorothy.

With that said, today I was shocked to see that the “In Memory” page of the alum website is absent any acknowledgment that Dorothy West even existed!!  And then I found that he memorial pages of too many former Cavilers - who are no more of this earth - are likewise blank.  We can do better than that!  In a 2002 book, Andy Rooney wrote:  “The best thing we could do [for those] who die is make certain there is some written record of who they were and what they did.”  Please share.  Our class mates lived, loved, and are worth the time to be so acknowledged . . . .

Peace

Omawata (‘72)

Wendy Woods (Merritt) passing

Yep, for many these are '"end times"; my wife's 90 year old mom died last Friday--since then we've been negotiating arrangements, including Covid.  
 
When in my mid-30s, it became clear to me that my own end time was inevitable.  It hit me as simply an "is," instead of in the form of a traumatic event.  History shows that death befalls us all.  Consequently, prepare; religiously, yes--if that's your thing.  But surely, for the sake of your loved ones, prepare.  
 
Back to Wendy:  Loosing contact with her after high school was--for better and worse--simply part of the process of leaving CVS.  Yet being in her presence during '71 and '72 was blissful, akin to being in the company of Living Art.  Ideally, post-graduation, Wendy lived well.  
 
Peace, to you and to yours

I guess we are at the age now that our classmates from 1972 are experiencing loss at an accelerated rate.  I remember Fun times with Wendy and the rest of the gang.  When I heard the news it brought back great memories of our games at Stagg Stadium, our walk-outs (protests) and voicing our young opinions on fairness. CVS shaped us into the people we are today.

We are all in our late 60's and everyday is a blessing... it is sad news regarding Wendy, especially on her born day... may everybody keep her family and love ones in prayer.
