East Prairie School Class of 1984 - 25th Year Reunion

Hey folks! It's been awhile since we started thinking about connecting our small (but very) close class. The reunion committee has recently met and we're looking to have the reunion on June 20th. Plans are being made as we speak/type. So...the first order of business is finding people and getting the word out. Since we were a small class, this shouldn't be that difficult, right? Here's an updated list of folks: (folks in parenthesis are on point to find this person!)

Yahoo Group for EPS Class of 84

As discussed at the get together (which was fantastic btw), I setup a Yahoo group for all of us:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eastprairie84





Click to join eastprairie84


The blog is best for posts where we want the message to be searchable via google and other search engines.

The group will be better for general communication since the group can send us email notifications when posts are made and if need be, can also be private to group members only.

Cheers!

Hello - East Prairie

Hi All:
It would be fun to catch up with everyone, but I will not be able to make it to Chicago this weekend. Have a wonderful reunion. I enjoyed reading the blog and hearing about your lives and East Prairie memories. Walter - thanks for organizing -- what a nice idea.

As Michelle said, I am living in Manhattan with my husband of two months - Adam. We live a couple blocks from Times Square. I moved here a year and a half ago. Debbie - it was not long after we had lunch.

I've been doing PR/Marketing for the past 12 years. I travel a lot. My brother lives in San Francisco. Adam's brother lives in Vermont. I do make it back to Chicago as well. My parents still live in the same house in Skokie.

My email address is GayleGlickman@sbcglobal.net. Shoot me an email to say hello or if you ever make it to New York...let me know and let's meet up.
Happy Holidays,
Gayle

EPS Get Together - December 23

Ok gang. Since we've found some people and I want to gauge interest in a "formal" reunion, we're meeting up at Flatlanders in Lincolnshire (http://www.flatlanders.com/) on December 23 at 5pm. I'd love to see you there and reconnect...

Thoughts..

Hello everyone!
Wow, I was just in Chicagoland for a family visit and I drove by the old 'hood....man oh man what memories! I drove right by East Prairie -- it looks so small compared to the pictures I have stashed away in my head. So funny...
I attended Gayle's wedding in October. She is happily married and living in New York with her husband. They are an amazingly perfect couple! He is so sweet and she is so happy. Who can ask for more?!?
I won't be able to join all of you during December and I hope you have a great time. Send me pictures!!
Happy Holidays to all of you and your families.
Best,
Michelle

Sorry for the long delay of posting-I forgot my password and then I could not figure out how to add a blog so hope this works. So glad to hear from everyone and see all the great pictures. Would love to get together in December-let me know if there is anything that I can do. I think I was at Russell's restaurant not too long ago-is it in Vernon Hills on Old Half Day road?
Jeremy-congrats on the new addition to your family. My mom kept telling me she saw your wife and kids by your mom's . I am surprised that I never ran into you by my mom's in Skokie.
Walter-when are you going to be in Phoenix-Troy and I are going the weekend of Oct 19th and hoping to catch up with Danica-Danica I will give you a call in the next week or so.
I did find Gayle's e-mail address-hopefully this is still her e-mail
gayleglickman@yahoo.com. I ran into Gayle last year when I worked downtown and we ended up going to lunch one day. The last I heard was she wanted to move to NYC.

The Plan, Stan

Hey everyone...

I agree with Eddie on Dec. 26th or 27th for this little shindig of ours. How about the 27th and make it for lunch or dinner, based on Russ' availability. Whaddaya say, Russell? Why don't you check your schedule and see if that works?
Looking forward to it...
D
