Looking forward to seeing old friends.  They say 50 is the new 30 so we are only 38

I still haven't found just the right thing to wear for Friday night.  Something that will make me look 30 years younger and 30 pounds thinner.  I can't imagine why I haven't found anything yet.  Something low cut and push up.....for my chins.  Did get new jammies in case I get lucky.  Judy Rogers and I are planning a little cocktail hour before the Friday night event for those staying at the Skirvin...let me know if you'd like to come!

I just wanted to thank each and every committee member for a most wonderful reunion.  Your fine efforts are greatly appreciated.  I so enjoyed seeing everybody.   

I have just had time to look at all the wonderful comments that people have written - you've said it all!  I still feel kind of giddish (is that the right word?) and so uplifted from being around such a great group of people.  It was so great to see everyone and I'm sorry for those that didn't come that I missed!!!!  As Charlie Smith said we have such a great class and even my husband loves to come and has really developed a close friendship with some.As everyone has said, thank you committee for everything - you've outdone yourselves again.  Can't wait to see what you'll do in 5 years!!!!  :)Love you all! 

Dear Friends - we are back home in Reno, Nevada and cannot begin to thank everyone for the most wonderful weekend! Thank you to Sir Bedevere, THE COMMITTEE, the Humphreys and to everyone who took the time to come to the reunion, relax and stop for a couple days to enjoy old friends. We made new friends as well! It meant so much to us as a "new" couple to see everyone and receive so many warm wishes for our happiness. We hope that if you are going to be in Reno that you will give us a call. Reno and Lake Tahoe are a very fun place to visit. We will miss everyone of you and look forward to seeing you at the next reunion - if not sooner sometime in OKC. Much love, Debby (Frye) and Lloyd Carlson

Well, I sent my check in really really early for all three events and was so looking forward to seeing everyone!  But alas developed a severe case of poison ivy and one of my eyes was swollen shut and I was hideous looking so missed out on so much.  I just found this web site again and loved seeing all the pictures and looking deeply into the eyes of these faces and memories are just flooding.   I acutally still live close by and hope to begin making the "First Thursday" events just to get back in the groove.   We did have an awsome class and it looks like everyone is still in touch with one another.  Keep sending pictures and I'll see some of you at "First Thursday"!!!!Susan

Wow! I haven't had so much fun in years! A humongous thank you to Bill and the entire committee for the amazingly wonderful time given to all. Every event was absolutely perfect, as was the chosen host hotel...even if I did get locked out of rooms for a while and nearly arrested by a cop in the lobby for toting a caution road cone presented to me as a gift from Kent.A special thanks to Martha, Rocket, Kent and Judy for our after hours hallway party in my time of need. And a big thank you to Bill Landers for feeding us in the wee hours.What a GREAT group of people in which we have to celebrate our origin. It was beyond well worth traveling so far to attend.Love and hugs to all.Arlenep.s. Fuzan Stacy! I would have led you around with your eyes wrapped closed with a purple and gold bandana. You call for help if ever needed again. I missed you!

Lots of people worked hard on this reunion, but the driving forces were Cindy and Susan.  Hats off to all of those who worked on this gathering for making it the best reunion ever.  What a weekend.  To all of you who came to your first reunion. . .thanks!  It was great to have you back.  We will all look forward to the 45th

Checking in to read the Birthday Party Invite.... I won\'t be able to make this party, but am going to plan earlier for the next one. Happy Birthday to Us; Happy Birthday to Us; Happy Birthday; Happy Birthday... KNIGHTS ROCK 4EVER! Until next time... Be well and happy. Cyd(PS. Echoing what others have said -- join FBook and start adding in some you see on this website. The rest will magically appear. It\'s a heartwarming thing to go through life with our awesome classmates -- if only by FBook!

Hello from New Jersey!I would never have imagined that I'd end up here, but you just never know where life may take you.  Last spring, my sisters and I had a wonderful reunion in OKC and Norman.  Northwest Classen looked about the same, as did Taft.  I'm not able to attend the 40th reunion, but hope you all have a wonderful time connecting with old and new friends.  I have very fond memories of growing up in OKC!Have fun!  Starr

Many thanks to the '68 class reunion committee for a well-planned and festive week-end.  The technology we have today made the whole experience so much richer than the last reunion I attended-- 20 years ago! I definitely won't miss another one!   

I just wanted to thank all of the committee people.  It was a wonderful event and I loved seeing everyone.  I know how hard you all worked to pull this off.  My husband and I really enjoyed all the parties    If you know of some of our fellow graduates that didn't come, please encourage them to come to the next one.  I went to my husbands reunion last year from John Marshall and I think we are a much better looking group of people and more fun too.  It was so much fun to see all the new people that haven't come before.   We need to encourage others to come to the 45th.  Love to you all. 

   I'm posting this in loving memory of Steven Thornton Amos who went to his reward 25 years ago today.    He was my best friend and best man at my wedding 30 years ago this July. Everyone I spoke to at his funeral vowed that he was THEIR best friend as well.     As you carry on with your busy day today, please pause a moment to think of Steve and others from the Class of '68 who 'graduated' ahead of us.    Keep on truckin', Knights!

HI you all! Gilbert and Lemmon said I should visit this website. It\'s Great! Looking forward to July 2013!!!

Hello classmates – Sorry I can’t make the reunion again. It seems like the reunions are always scheduled for summer, which is the busiest time for the amusement park where I work. For six years, I’ve been in charge of the crew that cleans up the messes under the roller coasters. I just love it and get to ride for free. Anyway … I do want to send a few messages to classmates: Of course … A big hello to all the Coronets and Cygnets! I know I missed a lot of pep club meetings, but you always told me how much fun they were. I really can’t remember now which club I was in because I never bought a sweater. But “hello girls” … no matter which club you were in … you were just lucky to be in one – I guess I should have tried a little harder. Hey to John Gilbert – I know we spent a lot of time together on the bench in the school office, staring at Sir Bedivere. To this day I still don’t know what the truth is, but I think your explanation of how knights were able to go to the bathroom made as much sense as anything I’ve read. Hi to George Lemmon – I will always be grateful for the quiet time we spent together under the pull-out bleachers in the gym. I learned so much from you about how grocery stores were arranged and I think I was the first person in my family to know what an end cap was. George, just so you’ll know … I never did wash off that homemade purple Garvey tattoo that you put on my neck. It was a lot of fun to be marked “special – six for a dollar”. Hello to Linda McCullough – I can now confess that I’m the one who stole your zippo. I would have told you but it was too much fun watching you snarl and constantly accuse Jeanene Miller and Peggie Singleton of taking it. A special howdy to Dan Loving – I must say your election campaign slogan was a classic. I had it put on a t-shirt I wore to the beach for three years in a row and I never felt so popular. My hair was finally growing back in but I think the shirt helped too. It was what they call an “icebreaker” in California. Hey to Cindy Carter – How in the hell did you do that without getting hit on the head? And sometimes fire was involved. But I guess that’s the price you pay for putting the top up and down on a Volkswagen Beetle convertible. Hello to Sam Musallam – I just want you to know how I admired you because you were the first person I ever knew who had a collarless madras shirt. I remember that rainy day you wore it at Taft, and the dye stained your arm. I still think that’s why you became a doctor. Charlie Smith – I have seen your emails, but I really don’t remember anything about you. Sorry. Hello anyway. Wow – the very special Ann Ackerman – gee, thanks so much for setting the high end of the grading curve in all the classes. The only class I passed also had Phil Spaulding in it, so he helped balance you out. A shout out to Bill Perry – I think I will never forget the time we were in Will Rogers Park and

I am sorry I can't be at this reunion. I am in a rehab center, dealing with severe back issues, and tremendous difficulty walking. Would love to see anyone who might want to drop by to see me. Call me at 405-415-0479, if you would like to come by. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Rick

So sorry I am missing this reunion! But I want to send a huge "thank you" to Sir Bedivere and the entire committee, Cindy, Linda, Bill, Jeanene, and Janet, for all of the hard work that has gone into the planning of this reunion during this past year. Cindy Carter Daviee has an awesome menu planned for Saturday night. The memorial board will be so special, and the interaction amongst classmate will be incredible!! (I can't believe this is the first reunion Terry McMahon has ever come to and I will miss him!) Special shout out to Sutter, Rocket, the big eight, all my girl friends on FB. Nancy H., I will miss seeing you this year! Thank you June, Doris, Beverly and Janie for helping us out at the front desk. Peggie 

I hate that I won't be able to see y'all this year as Jim and I have retired and currently are living on our boat with our cats.  We are in the Chesapeake for the summer and can't leave the cats for any length of time.  The 40th was so memorable that we are planning already for the 50th.  I am looking forward to seeing all the pictures of y'all though.

I sure wish I could be there!!  But here’s a note from me… Hello friends!  I sure wish I could be there with you to catch up and laugh about all the great childhood memories!   Like fake, pink “Delma Harris” admit slips, the WKY bus trip to see the Beatles, parking at Lake Hefner, piling into the trunk of our ’59 Chevy to get into Cinema 70, and a heck of a lot more!  Have a great time, visit me in St. Louis, and a special hello to my little brother from the class of ‘73 sitting in the audience – Donnie Snyder!!

Well, of all things, we will be on vacation during the reunion.  I'll miss seeing everyone.  BTW, I quit coloring my hair - it's quite liberating.  Have a fantastic weekend - see ya next time.

So many familiar names on the guest list, now if I could only find my yearbooks to match names with faces.  I'm sure none of us has changed much over the last 45 years!  I am truly sorry I will not be able to attend the reunion, but I'm sure it will be a great deal of fun.  I hope all of you stayed safe during the recent tornados; I certainly remember crawling under the house when the sirens went off, but nothing as severe as what you all just went through.  Take care, all of you; enjoy your time together.

Good Evening and the best to all of you!  So glad so many of you could make it - it is a special time! We are still in South Dakota and it has been a busy time, especially for those still in Oklahoma.  We prayed and contributed to four different on-the-ground organizations for both Moore and OKC, and are still praying for an exceptional recovery for all.  My relatives in OKC and southern Oklahoma are fine, except for a little flooding. Our sons live in Tennessee and Louisiana, so we do not make it to OKC often, which is regrettable.  Our time at NWC was indeed enjoyable and so much more precious as we see what is happening across the country. God bless you all, and be in good health!

This is the best time......hate waiting five years to see all the OLD friends.   I haven't missed a reunion yet and I hope our wonderful committee continues to take this on so we can attend many more!  :) See you soon!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who came to this reunion and gave me the most wonderful weekend I've had in years!  What a fabulous time.  All the arrangements were perfect, of course, because of the hard work of Bill and Danny and Jeanene and Linda and Susan and John Taylor and John Gilbert and everyone else who helped.  You guys have it down to an art.  I loved seeing everyone, and I can't believe how wonderful everyone looked.  I noticed a few guys brought their granddaughters with them, but that was OK.  So please keep in touch....I have a great guest room if anyone is in Denver.  (And the nightly rate is cheap.)  To Ben Byers, Arlene, Judy and Rocket:  I love you, man!!!!  You saved my life.

It is amazing how each reunion far surpasses the previous one in terms of planning, organization, or by the wonderful classmates that get to attend.Thanks to Martha for being such a dear friend the last 5 years after connecting from the 35th Reunion, Arlene, it was fabulous seeing you from Idaho, clearly the farthest travel ; )  Rocket, getting to spend time with you was very special since we have known eachother since 3rd grade...you are still a wonderful guy!  Terry, so nice to get to know you better and welcome to your first.  Jane Anne, thanks for sharing a Scotch with me and welcome back to the living ; )  Bill, for always being such a great friend and always there for me...making me feel important and cared for.  Good luck next weekend at the Emmies, you will be in our thoughts!!!John Taylor thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality suite, please let us pitch in for the expense if needed.It was great seeing you all and like Linda, it is amazing how I missed so many wonderful classmates over two nights.  Please grab me next reunion and let's catch up.Jeanene, Linda, Cindy, Susan, Janet, Kay, Hattie and Shannon, loved seeing you ladies as always.Can't wait for the Alumni Golf Tournament September 15th so save this date on your calendar!  We need 1968 representation for the tournament and you get to play Twin Hills which is a fantastic course.  All School event planned on Sunday and tournament on Monday so please plan to come and show our Alumni support!!!  This can be our focus for golf since our time is so limited during our Reunions.See you in September and we won't have to wait 5 more years!!!Love you all,Judy

Linda, your pics look great and I would love to have some of them..Hope they get posted to the site for us to download.Thanks, Judy

I only got to attend the BBQ Saturday afternoon which was wonderful (Thank you, thank you Kirk and Danna for sharing your beautiful and welcoming home with us)!  Charlie, tell your wife I noticed all the great big, heartfelt smiles, too.  It was so fun seeing everyone who was there.  Reading all the comments posted afterwards make me so sorry I didn't get to attend the other events.  I appreciate all the work (including First Thursday fun) that goes into making a perfect weekend every five years or so!  Take care everybody - until next time!

Looking at the pictures makes me wish I'd been able to be there.  You guys haven't aged a bit!  Maybe I'll try for 2013.  If I can lose a little weight, and maybe buy that sports car, and get some sharper clothes, maybe a supermodel.........uh, oh hell I'll be happy to just still be alive!!Glad all had such a great time.  Take care.

I have been trying to tell my friends here in Bozeman about my 40th reunion experience.  It's a challenge...words fail me.  It was so great to see everyone.  I was so proud to look around the room at all the attendees and think, Wow, these are my people!  Hats off to you who have kept the home fires burning all these years and have not only made reunions possible but have also made them such extraordinary experiences.  I look forward to seeing you all again in five years.Love to you all,Doug Amick

I had such a great time Friday and Saturday night. It was so good seeing everyone. Really enjoyed being able to dance with Mike Fair, thanks Sharon. I looking forward to the next reunion wouldn't miss it for anything. I want to thank all people that help put the reunion together. Stanaleen

Like Doug Amick, when I returned home I  could not stop talking about the reunion weekend (finally stopped when my wife told me I was repeating myself).These classmates from 1968 have developed into just some wonderful human beings.  Everyone was so friendly, caring and inclusive.If you want a spirit-lifter, don't miss the next class reunion!Another big thanks to all of those who made it possible.

Hi Everyone,As I read these messages I have my yearbook by my side as a reference to "times gone by". This reunion sounds like fun and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.  And, THANK YOU, to all of you working to make this happen.

What a fabulous time we all had! I think, the best ever! It was great to have so many class mates show up!!! 

What a great weekend. I sure enjoyed seeing everyone. I was so happy with the number of " 1st reunion" attendees. Doug, Terry, Lloyd, Debbie, Joy, Jane Anne, Marrgie, Candy, all of you, it was great to see you.Silkies Forever!George 

What a whirlwind of a weekend!  I cannot express how wonderful it was to see and visit with everyone, even though in two nights, I still did not get to visit with everyone.  Our class has proven once again why we keep coming back....the pride, the fun, the life long friendships, the loyalty, the teamwork. I love NWC and what it represents to me.  Please, please keep coming back. Especially our favorite party crasher, Bobby Hammack and David Gibbs! I love you all!!!!Linda

I am continually amazed at what a special class we have.  This weekend's reunion reinforces my belief that many of the other NWC classes must envy our 1968 class.  I think every person who was there felt the comradarie, the closeness and the love that we all have for each other.  It is that way whether we see each other once a month or once every five years.  My wife (she had a great time meeting everyone) commented that everyone there was smiling all the time, that that were genuinely glad to be there and genuinely glad to see each other.  Those who have not been to a reunion with our class just do not realize what they are missing.  I know there were those that could not make it this year and we missed them, but hopefully, we will all be around for the next one.I hope for the next reunion we have some more alums attend who have never been to a reunion like we did this year. Let us all keep in touch through this wonderful website developed by John Taylor and Bill Perry.  It is a great vehicle to provide information to all.  Everyone, please use it, and let ever grad you come across know about it.

What a WEEKEND !!!   I have yet to miss a reunion and this was the best one ever !!!!!! I just got home now in MPLS, MN and am taking the next 2 days off to recuperate from all this partying because you "OLD" people kept me up WAY too late 2 nites in a row.The highlight of my reunion was seeing BobHammack and David Gibbs who I grew up withon Cummings Dr., which was easily the toughest neighborhood any NWC grad could possibly live in. I had not seen them in over FORTY years !!! I didn't almost CRY, I did !!!   Another highlight was seeing my basketball buddies Bergman, and Byers, who along with their wives, voluntered Saturday nite at the Twin Hills Golf Club event which I thought was a very NICE place to hold our event. I think we owe the class of '69 a favor and if I am able , I plan to attend their next reunion as a volunteer.   A very special  THANKS to theorganizing committee for an outstanding job and making all of this possible. I don't think we realize how much time and effort they put into this STUFF.    Thanks to my buddies Janet Wiles, Judy Rogers, Arlene Davis and Martha Walker for watching out for me and providing transportation arrangements whenever I needed them.   Finally, I would like to send a message to the Redbirds, Magpies, and Chipmunks.What happens when you put all 3 of the above on a field with a bulldog ?BULLDOGS RULE !!!!Rocket 

Mike McElroy is truly one of the most outstanding  gradiuate of Northwest  Classem.  If there is an Award given  to Outstanding Alumni Mike McElroy is a must at the top of the list.  Very few could measure up to what he has sacrificed to save lives and lead others to be proficent  in Emergency Medicine anywhere in the United States. 

Miss our 40th reunion?!  NEVER!  I might be old, pleasantly plump and in a wheel chair, but I'll be there with bells on!  ;)

The Section is always with you......Then they made this movie, May the force be with you........Does not compare to the section is always with you.

It's been fun "connecting" with a few classmates for the first time in 40 years.  Easy to email through this site.  The reunion will be my first.I'll be flying down solo from Minneapolis and look forward to catching up with other out-of-staters at the Skirvin Thursday-Sunday and everyone else at the planned activities.

I'm sorry that I will be unable to attend the 40th.  I made the 35th just after moving back from Gulf Breeze, Florida (very close to where Joy Johnson lives).  My daughter Halley will be visiting at that time from Jacksonville, Fl, with my precious 2 year old grandson. I'm sure ALL of you grandmothers understand that I can't give up a minute - you know we are getting older - at least that is what I understand from all the messages posted.  Joanne - I know you have worked very hard on the reunion - you are a very special person!  HAVE A BALL!! 

I want to thank all those who plan these reunions of the NWC class of 68 for all the work they do and all the time they spend bringing them off.  It seems to be a thankless job but a job that’s is much appreciated by all those who attend.  I am of the understanding that those who work so hard to bring joy to the rest of the class of 68 have grown tired and have decided to make the 50th their last effort.  Such a decision actually saddened me and the few  to whom I spoke. These annual get together/reunions are enjoyable to all, were they not they would held that many of the class of 68 would be disappointed if not saddened.  Please continue your gallant and selfless work for those who enjoy the work you do. Thank you.  

Greetings all. Not much has changed for Richard and I since the 03 reunion except more grandkids..We have seven grandgirls and one grandson, one of them has a driver's license YIKES!!! Can't wait to see all you beautiful people:O)

I'm really looking forward to coming to the "40" reunion.   I have been to all of them and the longer the time has past since we left NWC, the more fun the reunions have been.  My wife, Arlene, will be there as well.   She enjoys the reunions almost as much as I.

My husband, Mike - of almost thirty years, and I are planning to attend  Saturday night and it will be great to see everyone.I still live in OKC.  I own Fair Insurance Agency. My husband, Mike Fair, retired as a state Senator after serving most of his adult life in politics.  We still snow ski Colorado and trek around Europe every year- so we aren't "over the hill "quite yet!  A couple of years ago we snorkeled twice across Santa Maria Bay at the south end of the Baja, Mexico.  Would love to hear from any of my classmates.Sharon

greetings

I encourage everyone to check out our websight to see if you might know how to get a hold of any of the missing grads. We have had a lot of e mails come back to us.  Also, if you would check out our list of deceased grads and can help with the date of death, we are planning a beautiful memorial and would like to include dates.  As always, out reunion will be full of fun!  Please sigh up today and send in your payment.  Looking so forward to seeing everyone!

You may be that old, but I'm the baby of the class. Hope to see everyone soon.
