Old photos of Fayetteville

Kerry Rose another FM High School alum, class 1962, sent this website to Melinda Mussi Lockwood. They are picture postcards from different decades showing what Fayettville and the area looked like. Really very interesting.
Thanks Kerry for sending.

Local FM Callers

We now have 3 local callers in the FM area. Evelyn Cunningham Spagnoletti, Sharon Benedict Osuchowski, and Christina Wuerslin Burr.They will be calling all locally listed people in the class directory to update information, get email addresses, inform about the 45th reunion and to explain about the blogs. So glad they've agreed to help.

We have John Visser to thank

We have John Visser to thank for pointing out that Al Clute is alive and well. Thanks so much John for letting me know, so all the stuff could be updated. The Memorial Blog and the Class Directory are now current.

Ralph Braun is getting married!

Ralph Braun is getting married on October 20th. Details to follow, I hope.

Al Clute is Alive and Well

There seems to have been a massive error. Al Clute is alive and well and should not be apart of the memorial site. John Visser thought he had made that clear at the reunion but evidently that information was never implemented. Thank goodness John read and replied to my email. He says that Al is in fact moving back to Syracuse to run the presses for the Eagle Bulletin. Apologies Al for thinking otherwise.

Sign the Guestbook

In an effort to have interesting and different things happening on the blog all the time, a guestbook has been added. Please take the time to click on this and make comments about the blog and say hello or whatever.
Thanks,

SpotSavers Dalmatian Assistance League of St. Louis

My Last Email

Finally an email that works. I sent an email yesterday that's producing great results. I actually heard from Wellington (Duke) Leonard and from Dan McCabe, Terry Infantine Doe.

More news from Bob the Builder

I'm busier than the proverbial one-armed paperhanger. attached foto is latest, got 2 windows installed today; not bad for a kid. Have 2 guys from a contractor and I really have to bust my hump to keep up with them. Soon as I get done, I'm outta here. They just quit for the day, which means I get to work second shift by myself. Lucky me, but I'm getting panicked.

Hope all's well with you, John and dogs,

cheers...
RC

We are looking for others to help as well. Others who have agreed to help search out missing classmates are Camilla Zankwoski Daniels, Harriet Evans Betts, Sandy Tice Flanders, Kirsten Mackey Fleischer, Barb Belton Robertson and Tom Weller. Melinda Mussi Lockwood is the keeper of the addresses and database and she or I can email you a current copy of the class directory. So let us know if you would like one.

How To Write Perfect Email

From an interview with David Shipley and Will Schwalbe authors of Send:The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home as published in Allure Magazine 9/07: Excerpts:
Mind your manners: Try to start off with a salutation and end with a sign-off like best or regards.
Stick to the subject: Always give your messages a clear, compelling subject line -- and keep it short. Attachments should always be clearly labeled and under one megabyte.
Keep up appearances: Stick to Times New Roman or Arial -- in black, no colors or background.
