Dear Classmate,                       

 

Here we are, the “Rootin’ Tootin’ Class of ’59” approaching the 50th anniversary of our graduation from good ‘ole Central High School.  Can you believe it?!!  Your reunion committee has been busy planning a wonderful time for all of us.  The dates are Friday, June 5 through Sunday, June 7, 2009.  The Doubletree at Warren Place, 6110 South Yale Avenue, will be our host hotel. 

   

We are planning a mixer on Friday evening, brunch at Gilcrease Museum Saturday where our Central Art Collection will be on exhibit (these are paintings that were on the walls of the hallways and classrooms while we were at Central and are now very valuable) and a dinner-dance Saturday evening with The Mid-Life Crisis Band.  You will love them!  Tours of New Central and Old Central are scheduled for Saturday afternoon.  There will be an optional brunch on Sunday for additional cost. 

 

As usual, we are trying to keep the cost as low as possible, but we also want to have an especially memorable event.  The cost will be $50.00 per person and will include all Friday and Saturday events and the yearbook.  This will not be enough to cover our expenses so we are asking for contributions.  Please be as generous as you can.

 

Enclosed are three forms: 

    

1.      Registration Form;   If possible, send this form to us by January 15th.  For planning purposes we need to know how many will attend.  If you are not able to send your money with the form, please send it with your Information Form. If you are not able to attend the reunion and wish to have a copy of the 50th Year Tom Tom, please note it on this Registration Form.  Also on the form, you may purchase advertising.

 

2.      Information Form;    This form should be returned to us no later than March 15th so we may have your information to put in the Tom Tom.  Please enclose a current passport size (about 2” x 2”) photo of yourself.  If you have any recent or past candid photos of yourself and family or classmates, please send them, too.  We will print as many of them in the Tom Tom as possible.  Please be sure to write the date and names of those in the photos on the back of the photo. The photos will be returned to you. 

 

3.    Doubletree Hotel Form (colored ˝ page form);  May 14th is the cut-off date for reservations for the special rates.  Please follow the instructions given and call the Doubletree or fax the information to them.  All reservations are handled through the hotel.

 

You will receive an agenda with times of events as soon as they are firm.

 

On the reverse side of this letter is our “Not Located List”. Please let Karen Anderson Hughes know if you know anything about any of these classmates.   karenahughes@cox.net   918-627-4086  or  918-636-8150
