 40th Reunion, October 2003. The Reunion Committee met for the first time on Mon. June 24. This was just a beginning but we are already leaning toward a few things: Having the Reunion in October 2003; Using a downtown hotel as the gathering site; Including a tour of the current Central to see historic items and memorabilia; Offering some options for Sat. afternoon - golf, tour of (modernized) Tulsa Zoo, museum tour, ? (you tell us); Using live music again for the Sat. night event (we had taped music last time); The general idea is to focus on events in the area of town where we grew up and went to school. Thus, downtown, Gilcrease museum, Mohawk park, etc. Do you have any ideas along these lines? Loucks63@aol.com

Ladd, Linda (Nicholson)   Ron-- This was my first time to access the Tulsa Central High alumni page... appreciate your great work! I'd like to be added to the Class of '62: Linda (Ladd) Nicholson, 2362 River Oaks Drive, Nampa, ID 83686, llnicholson@nnu.edu. A couple of questions: is there an actual list of graduate names for each class available somewhere? And, I didn't see anything on the "Completed Reunions" page for '62... does that mean there hasn't been a '62 reunion? (My sister is going to her Class of '65 reunion this fall, which piqued my interest in reconnecting with the '62 bunch!)

Martha Louise Barrett johnrobinson-raleigh@msn.com   jrobinson@nc.rr.com   I tried to contact Tulsa Central alums through CentralClass55@tulsa.com but apparently, that address no longer functions.

RE: Martha Louise Barrett; Tulsa Central Class of 1955. This is to advise you that Martha Louise Barrett, Central High class of 1955, is alive, well, active, and living in Raleigh, NC with my husband of 46 years, John Robinson. I regret being a "lost person" but there has been little opportunity or reason for me to make contact over the past 50 years. All of my family is gone from Tulsa, as are the classmates with whom I have maintained contact.

Over the intervening years, I obtained a BS degree in Physical Therapy at Washington University in St. Louis, married my college sweetheart, John S. Robinson of St. Louis, who also obtained a degree from W.U. in Electrical Engineering. We have lived in St. Louis (5 years), Pittsburgh, PA (15 years), and moved to Raleigh, NC in 1979 where we still live.

Over that time, I worked actively as a pediatric Physical Therapist, working with severely handicapped children, raised three daughters, have been active in our churches, and now volunteer for the NC Museum of Art and the NC Symphony. I hope that this provides a reasonably sufficient profile, but more information can be obtained by writing to me or contacting me at: Martha Robinson, 6805 Spring Run Circle, Raleigh, NC 27615, Phone: 919-872-2014, email: jrobinson@nc.rr.com .
