THANK YOU The 2011 “50-ish Reunion” Planning Committee would like to thank everyone for participating in order to make this 3-day weekend a happy, memorable occasion and a great success! We extend a sincere apology for any errors, omissions or oversights in this Commemorative Booklet. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is correct. We included as many of the Classmates’ Profiles that were available at the time of printing. You will notice that most Profiles are short in length; this was done so that we could squeeze as many as possible into the class year sections; however, for more detailed information, the longer version of some Profiles may be found at the website. We would like to stay in touch with all Classmates, Teachers and Guests as the years go forward. In that regard, we would appreciate any and all updates and photos to be posted on the website at www.classcreator.com/Highland-Park-MI-1959-1963/ to report on Classmates that are located, good news, retirement news, announcements, more school stories and any Classmates that have passed on so that the website may be kept up to date as much as possible. We thank each and every one of you in advance for your participation and assistance.
This book is dedicated to the loving memory of those Parkers that have passed on – we miss you.
