Life's a Novel

What page are we on?

From the rolling 30's and hip 60’s to the New Millennium what a ride it has been!

It is hard to consider that 2006 marks 100 years from the time Stadium High School first opened. That would be 59 years prior to MY class. We went on after graduating like those before us, to explore life on our own. Some of us "original baby boomers" went on to college, a few of us married our high school sweethearts and some had to learn to cook or -- eat out a lot.

Scores of us married later, had children or not or remained single. And some adopted. While a few traveled to exciting lands for their education, or employment some of us nailed down intriguing or boring jobs in the good old USA.

A great many before my class saw action in World War two, the Korean "conflict" (war) or Viet Nam in the 1960s and 70's or other lands thanks to Uncle Sam.

Every one of us is different today because of life experiences both enjoyable and regretful, however the bonds of our friendships made at the Castle are still intact and transcend all else.

Sad to say, a number of our classmates are no longer with us. And since we’re not getting any younger it would be a real pleasure to really enjoy the 100 year celebration of Stadium September 15-17, 2006. I know that I am looking forward to being there and I hope you will as well.

Please don’t pass up the "golden" opportunity to being there as we will not see another celebration of Stadium like this one being planned for 2006. Besides Stadium was more than a chapter in our life it was the beginning of a great novel of our being.

And it does not matter if you have gained weight, gone bald, gotten gray or have wrinkles or any other lame excuse not to join your classmates for an enjoyable time. So, jump into the time machine and journey back for an exciting reunion of reminiscing and renewing our friendships as the remodeled stadium begins a new millennium.

Sincerely,
Edward J. Hawkins
Class of 1965
