Remember "The Mob"?


Okay, we're starting to have some fun now. Evites (with a convenient hyperlink to pay your $20 through Paypal) have been sent out by Patti (Flanigan) Medvescek, along with sponsorship opportunities for a new, complete directory of the Class of '69. Several of you have started to contact us with information about other class members that you know. This is exactly the response that we had hoped for -- and it is coming off just as we dreamed. The confirmed list of classmates is currently around 30, with another 20 or so expressing interest. Here's the problem: there were approximately 180 students in our Class of '69 and we have only been able to successfully contact HALF of them. So please help us locate these MIAs and pass along the evite to as many Pike classmates as possible (all classes from the late '60s through early '70s are invited and welcome to attend) so we can at least give them the opportunity to come to this exciting event. With guests, we are now expecting between 75-100 to attend and we don't want you or your former classmates to miss out. We are even working on getting a couple of our former teachers toattend. Dress will be casual for the evening. And remember to let us know as soon as possible if you are also interested in the tour of Pike High School (10:30 am Saturday). It is free but we need a head count.

TOMORROW: I will begin posting bios/pix of some of your classmates (send yours to me ASAP)

IT'S ON!

The Reunion is coming! The Reunion is coming! Don't miss out on the reunion of all reunions. We've invited all the classes of the late '60s and early '70s -- for all the Red Devils from our era. Confirmations are starting to roll in and hopefully this will be the biggest and best party Pike alumni have seen for a long time (we all need something to celebrate in these tough times). Tomorrow, we should be adding the information for you to sign up and use Paypal to confirm your spot at the party. And, I will be adding names (and hopefully some photos) of some of your classmates who will be attending. (Hint: If you are coming to the party, please email me a photo ASAP so I can post them). Email me at rmoser1@cfl.rr.com .
Don't forget that we have a chance to tour the new (and old) high school buildings on Saturday morning if any of you (like me) are interested. We need names, though, just to make sure that enough people will be attending to make it a worthwhile event.
Again, whether you graduated in 1967, '68, '69, '70, '71, '72, '73 or whenever -- YOU ARE INVITED AND WELCOME. The party will be 7:00pm until closing on Saturday, August 1st at Gatsby's, located at W. 71st and I465. The cost is $20 for the food, the music and Gatsby's.
Tomorrow: Who will be coming.

We're having a Reunion and you are invited! Please reserve August 1st from 7:00 pm until closing at Gatsby's, located at 71st and I465, near Pike High School for our 40th Class Reunion. Even if you've never attended one of our reunions, we'd love to have you attend this special one. We also have an exciting opportunity to tour the "new" Pike High School on Saturday morning, if enough people sign up in advance. The nighttime party will cost $20/person and promises to be a great time, with food, music and lots of old stories. Please don't wait until the last minute to RSVP. We need to know now how many to expect for both the school tour AND the reunion party. Contact Patti (Flanigan) Medvescek at pjm529@comcast.net or me at 321-253-2225 rmoser1@cfl.rr.com to confirm your attendance. We need as many people there as possible or this could be our final reunion. Last year the Class of '68 (see photo above) had 45 people, and we can do better than that. We were always the greatest class from Pike High. For more information, visit our class reunion website at

Come on, Class of '69. Sign up now for our 40th Reunion by calling Patti Medvescek or contacting me at rmoser1@cfl.rr.com or by calling me at 321-253-2225. Plans are for us to meet at gatsby's Bar (we have it reserved) on Saturday, August 1st (4:00 pm - 9:00 pm). This may be our last chance for a reunion and a chance to get together with old friends. No explanations, no excuses. Call today or tomorrow.
Randy and Bev Moser
I thought our generation was the rebel generation and we were going to change the world. If we can't do that, at least we can get together for some fun and reminiscing about the good times we've had through the years. I for one, will be flying in from our home in Melbourne, FL for the party, JUST TO SEE YOU. And Bev and I will be mad if you don't all show up (this is the highlight of our summer). So go to classmates.com, call Patti (Flanigan) Medvescek, or me (321-253-2225) to RSVP and confirm your attendance. Patti has it all organized. All we want to do is see you again, party, maybe have a drink or two, and remember the good old Pike days (or the greater ones you've had since then). But we can't have the party without your commitment. Gary Wright, Greg Shugart and other officers, you need to step up and take some ownership here. This was YOUR class and if you attend, others will follow suit. What say you?
