Class of 1962 - 50th Reunion

Work will begin in January on our 50th Class Reunion. I am looking for volunteers to help out in any way. If you have a talent or expertise in a field that you think would benefit our Class, please send me an email at Saints1962@att.net.

COMMITTEE: Are you interested in being on the planning committee? Would like to but don't live in the area? Not a problem as I'm sure we'll come up with jobs that can be done from out of town. If you're local, what's the best time to meet for you? Can you meet during the day vs evening?

VENUE - FOOD - MUSIC: Do you have special connections that would help us in obtaining discounted services? Any suggestions on Venue, Food (sit down/buffet & type) or Music Groups/DJ's?

WEBSITE: Do you have skills to create a website for our reunion? Know someone who we could work with to do this for free or reasonably priced?

COMPUTER SKILLS: Memory Book, Name Tags etc.

IDEAS: Any idea is welcome. We'll consider all suggestions! Please flood my email!!!

Class of 1962 - 50th Reunion

WHERE ARE YOU?

All classmates were to have validated their current name, address, phone and emails to Saints1962@att.net by 9/30/10. If you haven't done this, please do so now. We need this so we know where to start looking for MISSING CLASSMATES. This is the first step in preparing for our 50th Class Reunion in 2012. Thanks

Please add Saints1962@att.net to your address book to ensure getting updates for SA.

Best Cocktail Party Ever...

September 11th, 2010's "Saints of the Sixties" cocktail party at the Gaslamp was the best ever. We probably had close to 60 classmates at our informal gathering on the patio from classes of 1959 to 1968. The majority were from 1960, 1961 and 1962. It was nice seeing more of 1960 there this time as it also was the weekend of their 50th Class Reunion.

SAVE THE DATE: 9/11/10 - Cocktail Party

Many of you have been asking if we'll have a cocktail party this year. Here it is...just secured the date!

It's time to start making your plans to attend our annual "Cocktail Party". The last 4 parties have been a lot of fun and as word gets out, more and more of our 60's classmates will stop by. Again it will be at the Gaslamp Restaurant and Bar on the corner of Loynes Dr. and PCH (right next to the Best Western Golden Sails Inn). Mark your calendar now for Saturday night, 9/11/10 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m on the outside patio.

This year's date coincides with the Class of 1960's 50th Class Reunion which is on Friday night. So, it is a good way for many out of towners to join in on the fun with other classmates of the '60's.

Start spreading the word. Questions? Contact me at Saints1962@att.net or call 714 775-7139.

2012 50th Class Reunion - Class of 1962

It's now time to start validating our database and search for missing classmates. Our first step is asking you to send an email to Saints1962@att.net with name (include maiden name), address, phone number and email. We will then post a list of missing Saints during the summer and ask everyone to help in the search. Thanks for your help!

Saints Band Together in Support of Classmate (1962)

Several of Kerry Eckholdt Dusserre's 1962 Classmates joined other SA Alumni with faculty and staff from St. John Bosco High School in support of Kerry's second battle against cancer. Both Kerry and her husband, Marty (1959 SA Alumni) who work at St. John Bosco, walked along side the Team of Kerry's Krusader's. It was a beautiful day in which we joined thousands of others in the Revlon 5K Run/Walk for Cancer on May 8th, 2010.

Saints from 1962 Gather for 3rd Annual Luncheon

May 1st, 2010 local Saints from the Class of 1962 gathered together for the third annual "Gal's Luncheon" at the home of Vicki Bescos Payne in Laguna Niguel. There were about 25 gals all chatting at the same time. A light luncheon was served on a gorgeous Spring afternoon. After lunch we gathered in a circle and each gal had a chance to share something about their life. Many spoke of what they're doing in retirement; upcoming and past travels; how St. Anthony's prepared them for life; and how important faith is in their lives today. Over the past few years, because of these gatherings, our friendships have rekindled and deepened as we have shared stories of our lives. For more information email Saints1962@att.net.
