Not much of one but if you’ve not visited our blog (http://blakeboys1972.blogspot.com/ ) I’ll be updating there.  We now have (thanks to several of you) 42 email addresses of classmates (all included in this email, I hope) and all the individual addresses are in the blog if you want one in particular.

We are planning on two weekends of get-togethers, June 16 – 18 and September 28 - 30 because so many of us had only one or the other free and it seemed like it was roughly 50/50.  Obviously, I hope all of you can make one or the other or both.

Saturday the 16^th of June will be a free-for-all (just kidding Ed) at Spencer’s-on-the-lake (bring your own bong).  Timing to be determined.  Monday, June 18 is the Greater Blake Open, a golf outing for all classes – last year it was at Woodhill, many years in a row prior at Rush Creek – location still to be confirmed but date is definite.  If you have a desire to play (or just show up and act like you’re playing), respond to this email VIA THE BLOG.  I have cut and pasted this email into the blog as well.

Finally, the weekend of September 28 – 30 is Homecoming Weekend.  I’ve asked Blake’s Alumni people if we could have either a lunch or dinner at Blake sometime that weekend and they are working on it.  John Bryant has reserved ice time (sponge pucks only!) at the Blake Arena for Sunday, September 30^th for those interested in pinching their big feet into their old skates (I think Blake has rental skates as well).

Anyway, everything to be firmed up in the next month or so but circle those dates please and if you can blog back (remember, you need to send back the “google permission email” so you are able to write into the blog) which, if either or both, dates work for you, that would be great.
