Ronald Dean (Ronnie) Lutes

Loyd has offered us some additional possible reunion sites. You can look under the “Message Forum” on our WoodlandClassof69 website to see his offers. They would be some good options also, so we need to discuss this at our next meeting.

Hettie has suggested a Barn Warming theme for our reunion.... but with 60’s music. We don’t have to have a “theme”, but it makes it fun and gives us something to decorate around. Whatever we decide to do, Hettie has agreed to do the decorating, with help from other volunteers. So keep your head down! Actually, I (we) appreciate her leadership on this, so if you’re interested in helping or gathering/getting materials for decorations, let her know. You can contact her through the class website.

We said we would try to do a silent auction for a fund raiser if we can get enough donations. Henry Whitener (actually Linda) has agreed to donate a stained glass piece that she has created. Thanks to the Whiteners. It’s a (Woodland) cardinal and you can see it on their website, which you can get to via a link on Henry’s profile. I will donate a wildlife print. If you have anything you would be willing to donate, let me know. It can be almost anything.

Jackie Seiler is thinking of making up some reunion tee-shirts. I'm sure everyone will be wanting one. (or several) Discussions on this will occur at the next meeting.

Melvin Keith has agreed to handle the reunion food which may be catered or we may do a BBQ or something. Melvin will need some help depending what we do, so let him know if you can help.

John Clubb has agreed to lead a search for missing classmates. We need to contact as many as we can. If anyone has any leads or contacts let him know. If you would like to help with the search let him know. For some of you that are not around town, this would be a good area you could help. We can do web searches and/or try to find family or friends of classmates to track them down.

We need to line up a DJ or band for entertainment. If anyone has any ideas, let us know. I know that Don Dinkens is a big dancer with some good moves, so maybe we can talk him into managing the entertainment. Or if others are interested in helping with this, let me know.

If I can get some pictures, I can put together a slide show with music and put it on a CD. Folks can get a copy at the reunion. Pictures can be of our school days or shortly after, current pictures or pictures you’re just proud of. I would like to get a picture of anyone that was in the service. Family pictures are good, wedding pictures would be good, adventures/vacation pictures, etc. If you can’t send a digital copy, we can scan them in for you. If you would like to help or lead this effort, let me know.

Hi John,
I'll call Mr. and Mrs. Lax and try to get some king of contact information for Teri Mooney. I look forward to seeing you at the reunion. Hettie Sue

Ronald Dean (Ronnie) Lutes

All,
Here is a list of information and decisions from the March 28th reunion meeting.
• We reviewed and reconfirmed to hold the reunion on September 26th at the Lutes farm clubhouse. We will plan to eat at 5:30 with everyone welcome to arrive anytime after 12 noon for visiting, fishing, games or whatever. If the weather cooperates, bring a lawn chair.
• We want to invite everyone that was in our class during any of our high school years plus their spouse.
• We decided to invite our Woodland teachers “maybe”. There wasn’t a consensus on this. We need further discussion.
• Ron will put a couple of ads in the Banner Press later on this summer announcing our reunion, inviting all classmates, their spouses and teachers who claim to have anything to do with our education. (assuming this is agreed to)
• Don Dinkens will handle musical entertainment which will be for now, CD’s of the 50’s to 70’s era. Don may give dancing lessons and Jackie agreed to show us her karaoke skills.
• Hettie Sue will take care of decorations. We will discuss with her, but we may only need to do some table top dressings.
• Jackie works at P&G and said she can provide the reunion with paper towels and TP. With store bought TP we agreed to keep the bathroom indoors.
• Melvin will handle the food, which we will try to cater. He will check with Jay’s BBQ for a price. He will pick up and we will serve buffet style. He will get a “Class of 69” sheet cake and some ice cream for dessert. We will pick up some finger foods for before and after the main meal. Sodas, coffee and tea will be provided. Anything else you want to drink, bring it with you.
• Ron will take pick up paper plates, eating utensils, cups and plastic table coverings. The clubhouse has sufficient chairs, folding tables and serving utensils.
• Linda Whitner has agreed to put together a class CD of pictures which she will get from yearbooks and pictures we can get from classmates. We need pictures to scan in from the class trip, current pictures classmates (that’s you guys, so send us one), family pictures, pictures from prior reunions, etc. We can scan them in for you or you can send us digital files. We need these BEFORE the reunion to have the CD prepared. Bring them in to a future reunion meeting or contact one of us and we can make arrangements to create a scan of them.
• Jackie showed us some samples of class logos to put on a tee-shirt for a reunion keepsake. She has created tee-shirts for her family reunions. We can create the shirts in our class colors “Blue and Silver” (we think). Let us know what you think.
• Linda Whitner said she can take some candid digital pictures at the reunion for us and we hope we can get others to bring a camera and take some pictures also. Ron will provide a computer at the reunion where we can download the pictures taken during the day, displaying them and later upload them to the class website.
• WE NEED HELP FROM EVERYONE getting people contacted and signed up on the class website. John Clubb has agreed to lead a search for missing classmates but we need help from everyone. If people don’t have access to a computer or an email account, you can send me (Ron) the information and I can put their nformation into their profile. We will then correspond with them through the regular mail or by phone. Linda Whitner has agreed to search all four years of yearbooks which she has access to at Woodland for names we haven’t listed yet on our website and scan in school pictures for their profile. If anyone has leads let us know, PLEASE. Even if they can’t attend the reunion, we would like to let folks know what happened to them.
• The next reunion meeting will be held the last Saturday in May and Henry/Linda Whitner has agreed to hold it at their house. We will send out more information later with directions and time.
If anyone thinks of anything I missed, please let me know.
Thanks to all that attended the meeting and as they say in the Banner, fun was had by all.
Ron

Barb,
Thanks for the offer of a donation to our silent auction. I'm not familiar with the “Jean Carters wooden replicas of Historic Buildings in Marble Hill” but they sound interesting and I’ll look for them in your showcase. If you have some pictures and want to sell some additional ones, send me pictures and/or your list and I’ll see if I can add them someplace on our website.

Email or mail the addresses you have on classmates and I’ll get them contacted and added to our website. I could also meet you someplace if you prefer and pick them up. I’m living in the Marble Hill area now.

Are you getting the emails I have sent out to the class on reunion meetings or is there an error in your email address on your profile? I got a bounce back on you a couple of times when sending out an email to the class.

Ron

Hey Ron, Did you get the address for Claude?

05/26/09 09:38 PM #14    

Jacklene Linda Crader (Seiler)

I've talked to Gloria Rhodes, Joyce Weakley, Martha Long, Sheila Parsons and Brenda Garland and informed them about the reunion. Also talked to Gloria Beard Hoxsworth and she is going to let Gilbert and Gladys know about it.
I sent notes out to Carl Barrett, Dennis Moore and
David Parsons, but haven't heard from them. Sent one to Dorothy Yount and it came back. I'm still trying on Judy Goza.
Maybe you can call Carl and talk to him.

Loyd Lee Ivey

Ron, Have you thought about a fireworks display and a bonfire/beachparty theme. Like the Beach Blanket Bingo movie. I could bring a large outdoor projection unit with large sound. Maybe have American Grafitti or some simular time period movie.

Also I have arranged for a spectacular event to happen overhead to honor Class of '69' ! There will be TWO MOONs That month. One will be red and one white to honor WHS 69.

You think baloney ? Just wait.... hasn't happened in 5000 years and may not happen again in 60,000 years....don't miss it...Loyd


ps...I willl post more details as I get them.....LLI

Hello to all. I was so looking forward to seeing everyone Sept. 26th but now I will not be able to attend. We will be leaving Saturday, Sept. 12th for Maine and will not be returning until mid-October. I'm very disappointed that we can't come to the reunion.

I know the reunion will be much fun and I'll be thinking of each of you on the 26th and wishing I could be there to join in.

Hey there guys and gals;

I recieved a caall from Kenna Lutes and Our class of 1969 is being honored at the Woodland Alumni Banquet on November 27,2009
We need for as many classmates to attend as possible that would make me even prouder of our class than I already am.

For Reservation Tickets the cost is $12.00. If reservasions are not made tickets at the door will be $15.00 But reservations are best.That gives the meal planners a better head count.
I would like to know if you can attend(PLEASE).You can email,call or send it to our website if you will be there.Thank you all so much for being such a GREAT CLASS with CLASS BArb

To all my 1969 classmates: 

My warm and sincere thanks to each of you for the beautiful plant sent to the Funeral Chapel this week when my Mother passed away.  Being remembered by such wonderful friends warmed my heart and lifted my spirits.  A special THANKS to Jackie for attending visitation and bringing pictures taken at the reunion.  I so enjoyed them! 

My love and thanks to each of you.   Oneta

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of composing a letter to Paul Beatty's wife.  As a class some of us thought it would be nice to send a gift of $200 to help with medical bills.  There was no funeral to send flowers.  Ron Lutes is also looking into having Paul's name put on the Marble Hill Veterans Wall.  Now if any of you have a favorite memory or story, I would like to included that to his wife.  Please get this going soon.  Thanks guys.

 

Jackie
