Hey All,
It's been a long time since anyone updated this blog, so here's a quick one for you. Since our 20 year reunion, we've located quite a few classmates. Mostly thanks to Facebook! I believe I have a list of about 100 alumni from our class on my facebook account, and I'm sure there are others that are not on my list. I will guess, that with the addition of people I've located on facebook, we probably have at least 150-175 classmates found so far. Many of these folks are people that we had already found, but many had not been located for the reunion, so it has been fun to find more and more of you.
I can't urge you enough to drop me an email and give me your contact info, so we can keep you in the know for our next reunion. Please also continue to spread the word to friends from the Class of 87.
As of now, the missing and found lists on this blog are a bit outdated. One of these days when I have some extra time, I'll try to get them in order. I think the list of missing is pretty accurate, but I still need to add the those newly found folks to the found list.
At this time, there are no plans in the works for a reunion, although there had been mention that people wanted a 25 year reunion. We've got time to come up with a plan and will certainly pass on info if something does happen. Planning the party, is not an easy task and will take at least a minimum of 1 year, so if you have any interest in planning, let me know. When the time approaches, I'll be happy to pass along all the info I have.
In the mean time, come find us on Facebook. I've set up a group for our class.....VTHS Class of 1987 or just search my name. If you choose to join Facebook, and are married, I suggest you sign up using a hyphenated last name so we can tell how you are.
Take care, and keep in touch!

Reunion Follow-Up
August 15, 2007
Well....we're sorry if you missed a great weekend of fun! Our reunion was a huge success and we are overwhelmed by all of the thanks and praise we've gotten! Just take a look at the pictures posted on the EVITE website. Several folks who couldn't come, said they regretted they weren't there...and that's just from looking at the pictures! Just take a look, you can really see how much fun everyone had. We had well over 100 people show up, and also saw some folks out on Friday night in Vernon.
Seeing we had such a blast and everyone says they want another reunion sooner than later....we plan on pulling one together for our 25TH..in just 5 years. It takes a lot of work, so any help you can provide will be appreciated. Hopefully it will e a bit easier, assuming most people are now settled and will probably not change their email addresses.
In the next month or so, I'll try to re post an accurate list of the missing, in hopes that we can find some of them before our next gathering. I know that some on our list were aware of the reunion, and chose not to contact us...I'm sorry about that, and hope they'll find a chance to get in touch before we get together again. I realize that not everyone has great memories of high school, but I'm sure that anyone who was there on August 4TH, will tell you , that it's different now! There are no more clicks, it's comfortable, and you are bound to be reintroduced to someone who you never really knew in school...and now you'll like them!
Please feel free to contact me or leave a post here with your contact info. This site will be checked and updated periodically. If you didn't make the 10Th, or the 20Th...you have to make the 25Th...it will definitely be an event you won't want to miss!

A Quick Update for Late June!
June, 29, 2007
Hi Everyone,
Wow, can you believe our reunion is just a bit over a month away? We're all getting excited about the big celebration. You should have gotten your EVITE in the last few days...if you have not gotten it, please let Kathleen know, her email is kpasetty@yahoo.com .
Most folks have been great at getting the Alumni Profiles back to me...but I'm still waiting for some. Please, send them back to me ASAP. The deadline has already passed, but there is still some time for you to get them back to me....but it has to be soon! If you need the profile info again, it can be found on a previous blog posting or just contact me at pghoff@yahoo.com .
Anyone interested in a daytime gathering the day of the reunion or sometime that weekend, keep an eye out for an email in a few weeks. I've been told there is a new park in Vernon, and I'll check it out to see if this is someplace where we could meet. Again this would be a brown bag it event for families and friends to gather for the afternoon. More info to come soon!
We're looking forward to a nice turnout for the reunion, so please respond to the Evite and let us know if you have any questions.
Have a safe and Happy July 4th, and we'll see you August 4th!

Lost and Found Update
Hi Class of 87,
We still have class members rolling in slowly! As of April 24, we have located about 114 classmates. There are approx. 144 missing. If you are reading this and have posted your name on one of the big alumni websites, but have not contacted us directly...please do so. Your email addresses can't be retrieved from the big sites without a membership, so it's much easier for us to contact you if you supply us with your email or snail mail addresses directly. Please email Kathleen Pasetty kpasetty@yahoo.com or Gretchen (Weigeshoff) Bischoff pghoff@yahoo.com so we have your email address in our loop. You'll be sure to receive all reunion updates if we have your information on hand. It's just about 3 months until the reunion, we hope to see all of you there! Thanks for continuing to pass names on to us!

Missing Alumni Information
Hi Everyone (from Gretchen),
Below is a list of missing class members. Unfortunately, the list is quite long! We had 258 Classmates, and have found approx. 73. August 4, will arrive before we know it, and I'm hoping we can find as many people as possible. Just in looking at our entire class list, I realized their were several people I could probably find through different friends, and even my mother, who may be in contact with an alumna's parent! We have done our best to have the reunion information posted in local newspapers, VTHS, The Board of Ed, as well as several alumni websites. Still, with all of this, people are only trickling in! Please take a look at this list and see if it sparks your memory...we need your help in finding our classmates! There are a few people on the list who may have contacted us, but your emails are bouncing back. If you think you are one of these people, please let us know your correct email. I'd also ask, that even if you think you don't want to go to the reunion, please still let us know where you are! If you know you will definitely be there....also let us know, so we can start getting a rough count! In early May, we will be emailing out an alumni profile sheet for you to fill out and return. Please look for it and return ASAP, so we'll have time to compile and print an address book of sorts with your information!
Feel free to contact me with questions, vthsgretchen@yahoo.com
Hope to see you in August!javascript:void(0)

Need more golfers...
Interest in the golf outing is light at best. So far, I've only received interest from Maureen Blandino and Mark DiGuilio.
Please respond to this post with your interest or email me directly (hleighb@gmal.com).
