Hi all,

In order for us to plan for the main dinner. Would appreciate anyone and everyone planning to attend the evening of October 10th to post intentions below.

Please include the number of guests in your party.

We would like to have all responses in by this time next week to ensure we have space booked.

All other plans for the reunion are coming along and will be posted as soon as we have the entire agenda arranged.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi, Gina,
Count me in for one definite (maybe two if I can get my homebody husband to come). The only thing that would prevent me from coming is if my son gets past the regionals in tennis which is earlier that week. I'll keep in touch.

Hi Gina,

I think you can plan on us being there after all, Ray REALLY wants to see Chicago, and it is only about a 7 1/2 hour drive.
I'll let you know by the end of the week for sure.

Anyway, I was doing a little research to see what there is to see in the Windy City and I found this at the Museum of Science and Industry: A giant heart that you can walk through. Thought it might be fun for this crowd to look at. http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/heart/index.html

Have you been there before? I was at that museum when I was like 18, but don't remember if the heart was there at that time.


Note: I just went back and read the whole thing, it says it was there in the 40's, so I guess I just don't have a very good memory!!

Hi Jean,

Been going there since we were kids. Have not been in awhile though. The hurdle we will be up agaist is traffic between the area we are staying and the city. We will have to be on a tight schedule if we don't use the train. Especially on Friday to make it back for main dinner. Few of us staying over at the hotel will have cars. If we can all fit for the trip into the city....that is an option too.

We can also plan indoor/outdoor activity based on weather at that time. Planned to include Navy Pier with a brief stop at the John Hancock for our Saturday trip into the city.

PS. We need to keep this thread stricltly to responses for the main dinner. Ross could you do us a HUGE favor and make another thread for reunion questions and or chit chat? Thanks so much!

I have made it so Gina---Ross - Thanks Ross!

Can think of many additional members that expressed interest Lets get our intentions posted by the end of this week please! Would love to see the list grow so the facility handling our dinner will have a better idea. Waiting for a general head count and we will continue on from there.

Thanks much!
