| THE
2009 40-YEAR REUNION |
| |
|
 The
Upper Arlington High School Class of 1969
held our 40-year reunion during the weekend
of July 2-5, 2009. As usual, we
had numerous events to allow our classmates
to reunite with longtime friends and meet
new ones.

|
| Now
that you are here at the UA69.com
Web site, please think about the following: |
|
 FREE
T-SHIRT! |
| |
 With
payment for the Saturday, July 4 party at
LaScala, you receive a FREE
UA69 logo t-shirt! When you send
in your reservation, just indicate the size
you'd like. We will have your t-shirt waiting
for you at the Friday, July 3 party at the
Red Door Tavern! |

 IMPORTANT!
From Ken
Pfeifer: We need a witness to
sit at hole number 16 throughout the golf
outing to verify that a hole-in-one did
occur, if one does. It will take about
5 hours for the entire group to play through,
so it would be best to have a number of
volunteers to work in shifts. The only
requirement would be to sit in the sun
or shade, their preference, drinks provided,
and watch the golfers tee off. The reason
we need a witness, is because Hole
in One International, an insurance
company that specializes in this area,
has written a policy that will pay anyone
that hits a hole-in –one on hole
number 16 during our outing $20,000.
Please
email
Ken if you would like to volunteer
to be a witness!

 Remember
the popular rock band, the FIFTH
ORDER, from our high school days?
Two of the original members, Jeff
Johnson and Jim Hilditch,
both UAHS Class of '67, are now in
a band called The Pat Malloy Blues
Band, which also includes Bill
Lutz, Tim Stridsberg, UAHS '71,
Ron Hilditch, UAHS '77, and
Pat Malloy. They will join
us on Friday, July 3 for our party
at the Red Door Tavern, beginning
at 9:30 pm. Some of us have heard
this band recently, and they are FABULOUS,
playing the music that was the background
of our high school memories. Read
the history of the Fifth Order,
see photos of the band members, and
also see the "New WCOL Hitline"
for September 11, 1967, when the Fifth
Order's song, "A Thousand Devils"
was #1. See
various photos of the Fifth Order
here. |

| CLASSMATES
THEN & NOW - PLEASE SEND US A BIO AND
PHOTO! |
|
 Right
now we have a good collection of classmates'
bios, but most of them are very much
outdated. Please check the Classmates
Then & Now page, and if you have
a bio there, check it and send
any changes to Ellen. If you do not
already have a bio on that page, please
write a short one and send
it in to be added. If you'd like to
include a current picture, that would be
fabulous!

| LOST
CLASSMATES (See
the List) - PLEASE HELP US LOCATE THEM! |
|
 This
Web site is a great way for all of us
to stay in touch in the meantime. We have
a goal this year that is very important:
we want to locate ALL the people on
our "Lost"
list,
and that list is lengthy. With the Internet,
we should be able to find them. We're
looking for people who are willing to
help us in the search. If we provided
you with a list of just 5 names, would
you be willing to do searches to locate
these people? If so, please
let us know.
If
you know the whereabouts of anyone on
the Lost List right now, would you please
let me know their mailing address
and/or phone number/email address? The
goal is to locate EVERY SINGLE UA69er
this year! WE CAN DO IT!

|
| ANNOUNCEMENTS
- DO YOU HAVE NEWS? |
|
 We're
always looking for timely news items about
our classmates to post on the Announcements
page of UA69.com. Anything is newsworthy
- retirement, marriage, babies, grandchildren,
career information, anything!
If
you have something we can put on the Announcements
page, please
send the information and a photo,
if possible, and we'll get it up on the
Web site!
|
|
| FAMILY
PHOTOS - PLEASE LET US SEE YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY! |
|
 Almost
forty years have passed since we walked
across the stage and received our diplomas,
and many of us have raised families in that
time. We have some great pictures on our
Family Photos
page - would you like to add yours to
the collection? Maybe you'd like to send
a picture of you and a favorite pet!
Please send your photos to Ellen.
|
|
| CLASS
RECORD HOLDERS - ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? |
|
 Most
of the Class
Records need to be updated. If you think
that you hold a class record, please
let us know. If you can think of a new
category for Class Records, we'd like to
know that, too!
|
|
| IN
MEMORIAM |
|
 Sadly,
we have lost twelve classmates just since
our 2004 reunion. Thirty-four of our friends
are now gone, and at the 2004 reunion, we
dedicated a Memory
Tree in the Alumni Garden at the high
school in their honor. We will be holding
a similar ceremony during the 2009 reunion.
Please take a moment to remember these classmates
by visiting the In
Memoriam page. We will have another
Memorial
Tribute during Reunion Weekend, and
we are searching for someone to head up
this committee. If you are interested, please
let Pat know. You will have plenty
of help!

FROM PREVIOUS REUNIONS |

 Please
take a look at all the photo albums and
slideshows from the 30-year
reunion in 1999 and the 35-year
reunion in 2004. If you came to these
reunions, we hope it'll be a nice trip down
Memory Lane for you; if you were unable
to come, we hope that you'll be able to
tell how much fun our reunions are, and
that you'll plan to come to the 40-year
reunion in 2009!
