About Event
THIS IS HOMECOMING WEEKEND.
This informal gathering will be a wonderful opportunity to mix and mingle with classmates and catch up on all that’s happened since our 45th reunion (and beyond)! Dress as you choose! Run your own tab. More info on food to come.
Here’s what we need from you:
1. How many will be coming - please email 1970dgreunion@gmail.com - we’d love a ballpark by June 1 and a final count by September 1.
2. What else might you like to do that weekend - if you’d like to organize that activity - please email 1970dgreunion@gmail.com - we’ll work to help with the publicity. Examples are finding good deals on a hotel, DGHSN tour, Herrick JrHS tour, Saturday Picnic, Sunday brunch, etc. Currently none planned. This is homecoming weekend. If you are interested in additional activities, please suggest and we’ll help with the publicity.
3. You can help us by contacting/inviting 5 of our classmates who don’t use facebook and help us with contact information so we can reach out - please provide to 1970dgreunion@gmail.com. There are so many that are not on facebook and we don’t have the contact list any more.
4. It would be lovely to honor our “Gone, But Not Forgotten” classmates, but we no longer have the list. Please send the names of those you know have left us to 1970dgreunion@gmail.com.
FYI. Jan Cawley has kindly stepped in to organize this gathering. Some classmates have stepped in to fund the deposit. We just need a final count for the restaurant. If we exceed it - great. If we miss it, there’s a small charge we’ll need to cover.
Easy, peazy. You spoke, we listened. Can’t wait to see you all!
Let’s make this a great party!
Hope y’all will come!

Two weeks out! We are VERY excited at the response to our reunion - “From the Heart!!!” Below you will find the RSVPs to the Saturday night event. They include many sources - facebook, email, messenger, phone calls, etc. This will also be posted on the facebook and classmates web sites. Please open the link and take a look to be sure we’ve got it right. If not, let us know asap so we have the most accurate number for our venue.
Remember, please, there were no tickets for this event. As long as we give a good number of attendees and everyone orders one food and beverage (please tip generously), the venue is ours at no charge. EASY - right? If not, we will owe them a per person charge.
Here you go - thanks for everyone’s enthusiasm and we look forward to seeing you soon!

August 9, 2025 Update: Hard to post much here, so there will be multiples. I’m so sorry… The PDF will show RSVPs to date and classmates who have not responded for some reason or another. It is the best I can do. Lots of data. Look for yourself and send comments/updates to 1970dgreunion@gmail.com - I will update every 2 weeks. Try to help encourage the “Maybe’s” and help us locate the many classmates that have been “quiet.” Weekend agenda items in a separate post.
