Can't wait to see everyone at the reunion. Should be great to see everyone. It has been 40 good years. Too bad we all couldn't have had a way to stay in touch back then.

Hi Janet,
Good to hear from you. I am living in Arlington Hts, a NW suburb of Chicago. I think you live in AZ. Is that right?
I always remember that the cantor told me to stand on a chair because my voice was lower than yours! Isn't it funny what we remember?

Marsha Hi Marsha.....I have wondered about you for years. Remember me.....Betty Jo Schwartz

Yael. I just read this site after the reunion, which I went to even though I was 1970 class. I have great memories of high school and we looked up to you, Ellen Bulmash, Phyllis Volk, Marsha ingwer ,Rhonda Jenkins and I wondered how you were. wish you had come, but even I did not decide until 5 a,m, that morning to fly in for it. We lwft the next a.m. to return home. ALos have two boys at UCLA. That is ironic. If you are ver in LA call me. 213 675-0444. Lynn

Having relived the 30th reunion, I really wanted to be at the 40th. But, July 25th was also the culmination of our week-long Youth Convention...and being the choir director and musician made it difficult for me to compromise my time here in VA and there in Chgo. And I think the young people and my 4 yr old daughter would've reminded me of the word 'commitment' . By the way, I was bitten by the "theater bug", 15 yrs after Bowen ( Parkway, ETA, and Beverly Arts ), and it stayed in my blood. Recent developments here in Chesapeake have rekindled that love. Can anyone relate ? Also, is anyone involved in MLM? Reach me at jeromebeeks@yahoo.com 757-582-9300 or 888-263-3494 Meeeeeeeeeech !!!

Lynn, it was good to see you as well after all these years. Keep pushing for a 1970 reunion. As you saw, it's a lot of fun. Have not heard from Deb in a while either. No news is good news.

I had a blast and re-kindled old friendships how cool after 40 years. my only regret is I lost the package that we got when we registered. I think it happened when I was doing the twist. if someone has an extra please contact me and I will pay the postage. but most important I had Mark Bauerle's info written on it and I wanted to stay in touch with him.

What an unbelievable event! We are so fortunate to have the people we had to put this reunion together! How wonderful, to reconnect with old friends & still to even make new friends. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I'll never forget! Thanks, again, Brett, Phyllis, Leslie, David, Howard Frank (for our Caldwell name tags), and anyone who spent their time putting this event together!

Hi old friends!

I find someone both exhausted and thrilled back home here in los angeles musing about my return trip to 1969. Having had only 4 hours sleep, I am still on a high after all of the dancing, singing, laughing and visiting we all did. It took me back to a simpler, sweeter time of life. For a few hours, I actually felt like I was back there. My spirit was high and my feet had wings on the dance floor. Thank you all for being so wonderful and reminding me of my incredible launching pad!!

Sorry, I couldn't make it. These are hard financial times. Keep my e-mail for the 50th reunion.

At one of the reunions(I think it was the 30th), someone mentioned having a reunion of Bowen 1969 graduates living in California. If someone plans such a reunion, please e-mail me.

HELEN SHIMBO, you left me a message on the guestbook.
