Fall 2020
So, here’s the deal. I guess we are technically not sending out class letters this fall, but I fell down on my knees and began gesticulating wildly in an effort to beg to make sure that I got out at least a quick update as I know you are all waiting with baited breath after our last communication.
Hey! You know what this means...As I did not hear from the three people mentioned in the last letter, they are still technically on the clock. Other than ol' Headless here, Chip Norris remembers who the back-up quarterback was as he also ran track with him! Hear that Steve Monge? You, along with Kathy Kemp and Jodi Hovey, have received a reprieve and are still on the clock! We would really like to hear from you to let us know what you are up to. I remember you; do you know me?!?!
Special award goes to Pam Helgerson-Dome! She, along with her daughter, Annika, who is now at Luther, got nine of the eleven songs mentioned in the last letter! Pam, you missed Hello Again from Neil Diamond which was the opening, and The Kid is Hot Tonight from Loverboy. Other than those two, you got all the rest correct! Thanks for playing and when I figure out how to use a credit card without having my alias name show up, you will be getting a little something in the mail! You had included Rocket Man in reference to our esteemed backup quarterback which was not exactly mentioned in that way, but a great effort nonetheless. For the rest of you, here are the songs mentioned in the letter.
Sharing the Night Together – Dr Hook
Cool Change – Little River Band
Hello Again – Neil Diamond
Hot Stuff – Donna Summer
Knock on Wood – Amii Stewart
Dance the Night Away – Van Halen
Message in a Bottle – The Police
Fame – Irene Cara
Just what I Needed – Cars
Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen
The Kid is Hot Tonight – Loverboy
After our last letter, I did also hear from our very own Jon Drake who had just released a new music video the day earlier. The link is below so check it out!
Starting to get a little traction here as I finally heard, well kind of, from a few of you as I also got emails from Bob Gatchel as well as Marsha (Weckwerth) Olch. That’s five from the class so hey, I’ll take it! Thanks Jon, Chip, Bob, Pam, and Marsha for your emails, guesses, and encouragement! Bob actually guessed this was Chip Norris so you two need to get together.
I’ll add more in the next newsletter when I get a chance to write a full one. Until then…
Is anyone else as excited for our next reunion as I am? It is going to be EPIC so you are not going to want to miss it!
Drop me a line and let me know what’s going on in your life or your favorite memories of Luther.
