...I am interested in staying at the Lafayette Hotel Sept 28th and 29th. I have two other classmates and we are looking for another to split the room. If you know of anyone that would like to stay with us please let me know. I noticed that some of the rooms may be saved for us during the reunion. Thanks

Remember the Ventures? An instrumental rock band from the 60’s. Their biggest hit was "Wipeout", but their first hit was "Walk Don't Run".

Their original 17 year old drummer left the Ventures after 8 months to join the Air Force. His name, George T. Babbitt.  He became a Four Star General. He came back in 1998 for a reunion with the Ventures to play "Walk Don't Run" again.

This is pretty cool; it will make you smile.

8/13/2011  EXECUTIVE NAP!

At the executive committee meeting..... we waited and waited and.......FINALLY called to see where the missing member was.....

Irma:  Hi Jim, what are you doing?

Jim McElwee's response:  I am taking a nap..........

(oops!)

6/5/2011 What is WORSE than putting someone who has not passed away into the "In-Memory" category?

answer:  Having the CHAIR of the HOOVER 68 Reunion Committee bringing your attention to it!

5/31/2011  Irma Groot innocently reminded Dan Ash and Steve Ko to put in their 12/2010 donations into the   DONATION CHALLENGE  so it would be counted in the survey results.  Simple?  You'd think huh?  NOT!

Dan's response: What is a “donation challenge”?

Jim McElwee's response:  I think it has something to do with bowel movements
