Trivia Warm Up
Here is an example of some of the trivia challenges we will have at the reunion. I will use this as a warm up for you to get a head start. Are there familiar faces in this picture? Are you in this photo? If so, can you name everyone in this picture? Who are some classmates who are missing? Do you know why Rita was not in this pticure, or Carolyn or Laurel?
(This photo was supplied by Dee Ann's Sister in Law, Mary. Thank you Mary for you help. We will be glad to remember Dee Ann at the reunion through photo's like this one.)
SAVE THE DATE
FHS Class of 1971 40th Reunion
September 30 - October 1, 2011
Calling all 1971 graduates of Fulton High School,
It's time to save the date, mark your calendars, and start making plans to attend our 40th Class reunion next year. It will be held in conjunction with the FHS Football homecoming where our class will be recognized. (Details to follow).
We need you, "Yes, You" to help us make this the best reunion ever. We hope you will:
1) Plan to join us next year as we reminisce, catch up and get re-aquatinted
2) Fill out the survey page, when it comes to you, for the class Memory book and fun “Trivia Game Challenges” we plan to have at several events during the reunion weekend as well as a souvenir “FHS 1971 Class - Past & Present” memory book. (information and details will follow)
Plans are underway to make this reunion worth the time and travel some will have to make to be with us. We will focus on Past FHS days Friday night, our Present interests Saturday morning and afternoon, and Future dreams Saturday night at the Dinner / Dance (?). (More details will follow on these events as well).
I hope you will get involved to make this a fun and memerable time for you and those who want to learn more about you form our class.
Information about the MEMORY BOOK will be coming soon. For now, please start thinking about outstanding memories from FHS days, what you would most like people to know about what has happened to you in the past 40 years since graduation and some of your top "bucket list" things to do in the time you have left. Let's face it. Time is shorter then we think.
For those who may not know, we lost 2 more classmates this past year Bobby Galbreath and Dee Ann Tucker. Our hearts go out to their families as they go through this year without their presence. For us, it reminds us the brevity of our lives and the need for staying intouch with those we count as friends. More on that note later.
For now, Thanks to David Danuser, Kent Hatfield, Rita Adams and all those who were at the Bek Restaurant meeting for your support and input.

What Are You Doing On June 28th at 6:30pm?
Hopefully Local Fulton area '71 alumni (and their spouces) will join the Reunion Committee at Bek’s Restaurant (on Court Street in Fulton) at 6:30pm on June 28th. (Each person will be responsible for their own meal /snack or bar tab.) Instead of giving busy people two possible options (either the 22 or the 28th) to meet with the reunion committee we decided only one meeting, on the 28th, will be needed. Those unable to attend this informational meeting may contact me directly for the information. We hope to have fun as we share ideas and:
• reconnect with classmates and their families and strengthen relationships.
• promote interest among folks who have not attended reunions in the past so they feel they have a voice.
• Get people’s contact information updated and help find lost folks.
• discuss a definite date without being influenced by outside speakers at this time. [I had planned to talk in general about the fine website and options Alumni Association offered and as I mentioned at our last meeting I wanted to talk to Nikki if the date was chosen to coincide with the Alumni Weekend (AW)].
• Discuss having an autobiography type of memory book and encourage interest in getting involved (which will be a big project that I will need everyone’s help).
• Find out what activities or committees are desired and start putting people in place to get organized and poised for action.
To help us plan our meeting would you please either e-mail me (Carolyn Crews H) at 2hushai@gmail.com or call me at 573-289-8517 to help Bek's plan for our group.

The 6/9/10 Reunion Committee Meeting Review
Thanks to Dave D., Kent H., Rita A. our meeting was very productive. We were sorry Linda H. couldn’t be with us this time. Two Fulton information Meetings, at Beks Restaurant are being planned so there will be lots of time to add thoughts and input.
Setting the Date for the Reunion:
To Linda and those in KC who worked with us to nail down the Fulton Street Fair weekend as our reunion date: I want to thank you for your input but I’m afraid that date won’t work. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, the date for the FSF is always set to happen on Father’s Day weekend and we wanting to avoid dates attached to family holidays. SO… the second date we discussed early on, to have it during the FHS Homecoming in the Fall, has now become the date of choice. We will confirm this as the official date soon and hopefully get the ball rolling to organize some fun activities. If you have any comments or thoughts about that date, please contact me either through this blog, or by personal Email.
We also will be checking with FHS Alumni Associations date to see if they have activities we might want to join in on so we are not reinventing the wheel and competing with places to meet, etc…
For those who read this blog but do not make comments. Please break your silence and let your thoughts be known. Either email me or click the comment word at the bottom of this post. Then, just type in your comment in the comment box, confirm your google account (if you have one that pops up as your google identification) or register for a free google account. Lastly, type in the funny security word in their security box, push the "post" bar near the bottom and your comment should be posted. We always love to hear from you.
The Next Step will be have a couple possible information meetings with Fulton folks to get some interest and organization started. Let us know what you think.

Hi Guys,
After spending nearly a week with my family in KC (Kids, grand kids and dogs) I'm back at work to get a date set for next year's 40th Reunion.
A quick review on finding a date:
You might remember that the weekend closest to the 4th of July has always been the date we have used for our reunions in the past. Although that was great date for many years, the suggestion was made to not have it during this family focused holiday since many of our children no longer live near us and traveling to see children and grandchildren has become a priority for many.
Progress Report:
Up to this point all the different groups we tried to reach for suggestions on a date, (those who live long distances, the KC group and some short distance folks) have all agreed it would be good to have the reunion in conjunction with the Fulton Street Fair next year.
A Snag In Our Plan:
This past week I checked with the Fulton Chamber of commerce and found the date for the Fulton Street Fair (FSF) always is in conjunction with Father's Day. Arrrrggg.
This may effect some of those not wanting to break personal traditions or family plans.
Responses Requested:
The Reunion will not run over to Sunday except for Long Distance folks so it may not be a problem for KC, Short Distance or Local people. I'll be contacting some of you for an official opinion on date suggestions. Please, feel free to jump in on this blog to give your opinion or ask a question, just push comment, register (free), fill out the info and push submit. I'd love to hear from you all.
Thanks.

Fulton High School (MO) Alumni Association
Steve Baysinger suggested we link the FHS Alumni Association Website to this blog but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. So, for those who are not able to google it, putting the address below in your internet address box and it should get you there.
Don't forget to send me some family photos or personal favorites of other classmates Let me know if you want them shown on a slide show on this blog, other wise I'll keep them for the reuntion presentation and memory book.
Thanks again to those who were able to join me In KC. So sorry Paul and Jenny Rice were unable to be there. Thanks Jenny for your thoughtful message. Don't worry, we are hoping to get together for a Royals game tailgate sometime this summer. I'm in KC a lot so I'm sure we'll see each other. As a matter of fact, My daughter Grace lives close to you I think. Talk to you soon.
Heres the FHS AA site address
