Still playing fiddle and still going strong.

Hello all to all! Well, one more week and we will all be together again! Cannot wait to see those of you I have enjoyed at past reuniuons and so looking forward to new names on the list that I have not seen since graduation!  %u200BMuch thanks to our committie for all of the hard work they do everytime we have a gathering! They are incredible!! Wishing safe travels for all to and from!! See you soon!!

Fellow 68 grads. I am so sorry I was unable to make the 60 B-Day bash for our class. I was at the top of Pike\'s Peak on a motorcycle in sleet and snow. Brrrrrrr - made it down with my eyes shut and trusting my husband  John  (class of 67) to get us down safely and he did. But I plan to be at the 2013 and anything else planned in between if it happens. It will be great to see all of you again.

I'm going to be at the "all classes" reunion on 9/20/09.  Hope to see my '68 classmates then!  

Yes, we are that old, and I had better see all of the class of 1968 at the reunion!  We have an awesome class and we always have a great time!  Some of us still meet the first Thursday of each month at the Bell Isle Brewer after work.  Come join us anytime!!

Hats off to everyone who continually works to keep our Class of '68 together. ....You know who you are....Thank You! This website is another example of the "class" our Knights and Ladies continue to exemplify! My husband (Gene, from NWC's class of '59) and I are looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.

Can't wait for our 45th!  It's going to be great seeing everyone again.  Thanks so much to the fabulous group that handles these reunions for us -- Cindy Carter, Bill Perry, Jeanene Miller, Linda McCullough, Charlie Smith, George Lemmon....and the others that I can't remember because I'm old.  You guys rock!  And thanks to facebook for keeping us all together.    I remember when my daddy went to his 50th reunion...I thought, "were they all in wheelchairs?"  Our idea of "old" sure changes as we mature, doesn't it?

40 Years?!?! Now I know why I always hated Math!

Hello fellow 68 grads!  I am very much looking forward to our 55th in 2023 on July 28th and 29th! I know life is busy, even in retirement! But, time gets away from us so easily and then we find ourselves regrettimg that we did not shuffle our schedules to make those very important events. We are not promised tomorrow, be sure to make today count! Get  your reservations in now! Come on class of 68! Let's do this!

Jay and Pam just got on me for not posting anything on the website, so here goes: I can't believe that it's been 40 years. It seems like yesterday that John Gilbert and I were cutting Architectural Drawing. I can't wait to see everyone next summer!

I returned from the Doctor today; concerning my Prostate Cancer. My PSA number is 0.25, this simply means healed from cancer. I am a survivor, actually with God on my side I am an overcomer. Thank you so much to God for my healing, to the many people who have had me in their thoughts and prayers. All things are possible to them that believe. Not being moved by what I hear, feel or see, for they are temp

I'm not going to make the reunion, but reading this website has stimulated a lot of memories.  Remembering a lot of great people and the strange time of life that is high school.  Also, more than a little chilling to see the list of those no longer with us; not living in OKC anymore I wasn't aware of most of them.  Anyway, hope everyone has a great time.  Somebody ask Kirk Humphreys if he remembers us shooting hoops in my driveway?

How can it be that I was only 9 when I graduated high school..............since I am only 49 now ?

Greetings Knights and Ladies! I really thought I was going to make this one -- but, alas, it's not gonna happen.  I would really love to have seen everyone. Oh, well -- maybe in another ten years if I'm still ambulatory!I've bought a ticket for both nights so that I could at least support the event -- I know these soirees usually operate in the red. If anyone knows of someone (or IS someone) who'd like to come and needs a "subsidized" ticket -- get in touch with Sir Belvedeer.  It's all yours.Now for the news -- I live in Virginia outside of Washington DC these days.  Two daughters, two step-daughters and six grandchildren of various "stripes." Life is good.I am an artist and interior designer -- my husband Thom Bradley is a computer technician for the Washington Post Newspaper.We are renovating a 1965 Airstream trailer and love to travel and hike -- the Grand Canyon is a favorite spot -- we love the Southwest.  So stand by -- when retirement time comes in a few years we'll be pestering all of you -- keep the driveway clear:)Rocket and/or Martha -- your assignment is to party hearty on my behalf as well as your own!  I know you're up to the task.

Hi everyone,This website is a great idea!  Thanks to those who work so hard to keep us in touch, and remind us we're still "young at heart".  Like the Madison Magpies, I'm looking forward to another Mayfair Chipmuncks group picture.

40 years?!?! Are you sure?

Greetings from Colorado Springs.  It has been 20 years since we've been able to make a reunion, but Hank (also class of '68) and I are looking forward to seeing everyone.  We don't feel old.  What's up with our birthdays adding numbers to our ages? We're both still working and enjoying our jobs.  No grandkids yet, just a grand pup! See everyone in July. 

I can't wait!

I can't wait for the reunion. I am so excited about seeing eveyone there. We had quite the special class!

We were truly blessed to have gone to such a great school.  I hope to see many of you at the reunion.  It seems like only yesterday, but 6 kids and 5 grandchildren don't come that fast.  See you this summer.

I want to say "thank you!" to all who put this site together and submitted pics!  Since my family moved, I didn't get to graduate with the NWC Class of '68, whom I had grown up with; so the pictures were extra important to me.   I was amazed at how good my friends from Kaiser are looking (including Suzanne, Jeanene, Ann, Janis, Pam, Judy, and my great neighbor, Paul).  It made my day to see pics of my good friends, Gordon Bockus, Jeff White, and Greg Witt!   And, Margaret Baxt Hines looks just too beautiful!  I want to send my best to everyone in this class.  Hope I can make it in 2013.  

Thanks for the Card. I look forward to the 40th!! Gosh are we that old?

To all who attended and all who did not: This reunion was the best ever! It was just awesome to see all of you who have NEVER been before. And just as awesome to see everyone who is a "regular". The comments have been great and it is so good to hear from so many.I hope those of you looking at the site will write in with your comments. I ve been talking so much about the reunion to my and friends and family that, I think, they feel like they were there...even to some grads from '67 who have been to the  OUR website. What a great group of Silkies we were...the best ever!!! And thanks to all of you who are sending in your pics!

I want to say hello to all the fun people I missed when I missed the reunion. I had my ticket, reservations, everything when BAM! I got hit with a double overload of work (have you ever noticed that the excitement in any sentence is boosted exponentially by inserting the word BAM!) Anyway, certainly hope to make the next one.

I have not made a reunion in 20 years. It was so great seeing so many of my former classmates. I only wish I had been able to make all the events so I could have seen many more people. Everyone looked so great. Looking back at my years at Northwest Classen they were so wonderful. I would love to stay in touch and hope to make one of the "first Thursday" get togethers.Billy Held (aka Bill)

Really looking forward to returning to OKC and meeting old friends.

Our reunion will be here before we know it.  Know it will be lots of fun! If any Burbank Bumblebees or girls who lived in Willard Hall at OSU are interested in gettin together during the reunion weekend at times when reunion events are not scheduled, please get in contact with me.  Some of us have thought about trying to do this.  See everyone soon!

I would like to thank the class of 1968 for allowing me to take the photos on Fri and Sat. You all made me feel very welcome and that's why I was able to get some good photos.Thanks

I echo all the wonderful comments about the reunion weekend. As I look at the pictures, what a wonderful group of quality people. There were many people not there, which we all would have loved to see.  Too bad this cannot be a yearly event, not very practical, can't wait until the 45th reunion. A special thanks for those who took Barbara my wife of thirty-seven years (Putnam City graduate of 72) under their wings while I visited with people. She was very impressed with our group, stating this was by far the best reunion we have had. We've not missed one. Interesting relationship renewed, Gene Fair and I go back as far as attending the same nursery school together, she looked terrific. Others I could name but we all have those special friends and memories. Bill Bowman I really enjoyed seeing you. The only thing I don't remember  as a group  ever doing.....Sing Dear Northwest Classen.....Brave and Bold.....We will always sing our praises for the purple and the gold.....though the years go swiftly by us.....and we travel far apart......the emblem of proud Knighthood will never leave our hearts. Thanks everyone for being there, see you at the 45th or before!Larry Elliott Class of 1968

My husband Danny Clark (also class of '68) and I have moved nearly 400 miles closer to OKC, but we're still nearly a thousand miles away in Niceville, Florida ( just across the bay from Destin).  Even so, we hope to attend this reunion and reconnect with old friends (and I guess I DO mean old!).  We're astonished to see how many of our class remain lost.  Guess we're not the only ones who've moved around a lot in 40 years. 

Well, I have to say, I certainly don't feel old or that we have been out of high school for 40 years!  (I do keep doing the math though, just to make sure.)  It's always fun to see people I knew then and meet people I didn't get a chance to know in high school.  Northwest Classen is full of very fond memories.  Come join the fun...or maybe an alumni group - they are both doing great things for the school!

sorry i missed the fun, good to read that so many of you are well and able.  hopefully next time unexpected problems will not come up.

I hope to see a bunch of you '68 classmates at the Harn Homestead this Sunday, 9/20/09!!  Lots of good food, register for the golf tournament and see lot of great people!!!!

We (I) must be old because I can't remember any (many of you) and will have to get out the old year book to look up the names.  Sherry Lang and just a few other are familar.  Savannah is just a little to far to drop in for weekly drinks to catch up - will at least have to wait for the reunion.

I can't believe the 45th reunion is over. What a wonderful experience. Thanks to everyone that attended. It was great to see everybody. Cudos to Susan Jackson for attending her first reunion. I hope she'll  come back for the 50th. Special thanks to Cindy D, Linda R, Jeanene C, Janet St, and Bill P for all of their hard work to make this reunion the best one yet. Shout out to Maggie, Candy, Elaine and Linda M.   SILKIES FOREVER!

What a wonderful time I had!  It was so great to connect with my dear friends who have meant so much to me over the years.  I especially enjoyed re-connecting with my best friend Joy from Belle Isle and her husband Danny.  Thanks for making my man feel so welcome!  He had a great time and made lasting friends.

I missed everyone so much.  I bought a new house in Galveston, TX and moved in on July 1st.  I am still unpacking boxes!  On our reunion weekend I was with you all in spirit.  I had planned to come nearly all year and then my house move and an unexpected death of a friend on July 4th derailed me.  The reunion pics look fabulous.  My, my what a good looking class we are!!!!  I hope to make the event in September, or one of those Thurs. nite get togethers if they are still happening.I started surfing last year (never say never about anything!) and I work as an Employee Assistance Consultant in the U.T.System.   Hope to see you soon!Carol

Thank you all for a wonderful reunion. I love you Patti Roach Golden. Thank you so much for opening your home to me again. It was a real blessing for me to see so many young friends. I needed the laughter and hugs. I started not to go because of losing my dear husband, Ray, so soon before the reunion but I'm so glad I let Patti talk me into it. What an uplifting I recieved.A special thank you to the committee for their devotion to our amazing class. 

I appreciate the accolades, but I must tell you that I only attempted to implement Cindy’s vision. That woman is a fountain of creativity and a master event planner! It was Cindy’s goal for this 40th Reunion to find as many lost classmates as we could and to make this a special reunion for everyone. I would say she accomplished that goal and then some!! And, beyond that, without the input and work of a whole lot of people we would not have had such a great reunion. Thanks to everyone who had a part in this and to those of you who came and enjoyed.

what a wonderful and memorable reunion!  it was so heartwarming to see all the beautiful faces from NWC.  can't explain why strong ties formed so long ago endure and continue to grow.  have not stopped smiling ever since last weekend.  even our children sensed that kathy and i experienced something special at the reunion.  thanks to all who made it so successful, including Kirk and Danna.

Love the web site. Would love to be included with any reunions even though I was a couple of years younger, knew many of you!

After a whirlwind year of planning, it was so awesome to see everything come togerher so beautifully!  We had  the best time ever!!!!  Everyone seemed so relaxed and genuinely glad to be there!  The food was wonderful and the settings were as well! A good time was had by all! Five more years and it will be our 50th, so start plannng now. No telling what we will have in store for everyone!!!! IT'S GREAT TO BE A NWC GRAD!!!!!   See you n five!     Linda Roark

It was the BEST reunion ever!  Our committee is incredible.  Everyone had so much fun, and these things just keep getting better and better.  Hopefully we will have a 65th Birthday Party (hello, Medicare!), but if not, I'll see you all at our 50th.  Hugs to you all.....  

If I am to travel 2,000 miles for this, I best see EVERYBODY  in attendance! So looking forward to us all being together again. And no crashing private gatherings this time, Kent, Susan, Debi & Chuck. (on 2nd thought, perhaps we will!)Love to all,Arlene

Oh, Martha. Do you always do everything you are told?You are so funny. But I think an easier solution would be that the events only be held by candlelight. We will all look fantastic then!See you at your cocktail party.XOXArene

Thanks for such a great time. The committee did such a great job. Looking forward to the next! Sincerely, Margie Walker Martin

Still looking forward to seeing everyone.  Just had quadruple bypass surgery, doing very well.  Had chest pain on Mothers day and as a typical paramedic, ignored it.  Got worse, ignored it.  Got really bad, drove myself to the hospital.  All I said to my doctors was "I have to make Northwest Classen re-union, rest is not important now.  I will make it.  Thanks to George Lemon and Alan Sandgarten for nice notes....MikeP.S. While I was under some heavy drugs was reciting NW Classen football scores from 1968, funny thing I looked them up and was correct on all scores. 

I loudly echo what Dan said below. Cindy Carter Daviee and Susan Parker were the creative force and organizational wizards behind much of what happened at the 40th reunion. Judy Spicer Amico designed what is perhaps the niftiest name tag anyone could want for a reunion, and there were numerous other hands doing all the busy work it takes for parties like this (George Lemmon, Master Balloon Blower Upper). The gracious nature of Kirk and Danna Humphreys cannot be understated ... what great hosts they are! And let's not overlook those of you who were able to come to this, especially you first-timers! Without you ... well, it would have been another planning meeting, only with food and balloons ... and where's the fun in that?So ... now we turn our sights on 2013 and the 45th Reunion. To get there, we'll need everyone's continued help in locating lost classmates. Please send email addresses ro Sir B at nwc_1968@yahoo.com If you are not sure he has your email, drop him a note & we'll make sure you are on the list. You will not be flooded with useless emails, but will be told once in a while about things relating to or of interest to the classic Class of 1968.Keep checking back at this site ... it's ours until futher notice. We'll develop other things making your stop here worthwhile!Stay in touch everyone! We are that special class of Northwest Classen!
