Dear
Classmates,
Following our very fun and successful 50th
Reunion a number of classmates expressed the desire, since all
of us are growing older, to hold reunions every five years
instead of ten.
With this thought in mind, as the 55tth anniversary of
our graduation is this year, a small group of classmates formed
an exploratory committee late last year to determine if there
was enough classmate interest to plan and hold a 55th
Reunion.
A copy of this newsletter was
sent to all classmates whose email addresses we possessed – a
total of 65 classmates.
The “Morning Stars Redux” included links
to an online survey with the intention of learning your
preference.
A link to the survey was also placed in
the “News” section of the class website.
The results:
Six email addresses bounced or were no
longer in service.
Forty-three classmates opened the
newsletter and thirty-three classmates completed the survey.
We attempted to contact classmates via
phone and four classmates responded to an abbreviated version of
the survey via phone.
A total of 24 classmates expressed a
positive response to hold a 55th
Reunion.
There were ten classmates who said they
“Maybe” would attend.
The results of the 55th
Planning Survey
can be found here.
It is the judgement of the 55th
Reunion Planning Committee, based on the results of this survey,
that unfortunately; we believe there is not enough interest
among classmates to go through the multitude of efforts to
schedule a 55th
Reunion of the St James High School Class of 1964.
We thank each classmate who took the time to complete
the survey.
Of course, if any classmates disagree
with this committee’s decision you are free to pursue the
planning and scheduling of a 55th
Reunion on your own.
We look forward to working with all classmates in five
years when we will plan for a 60th
Reunion.
May all of us stay safe and healthy
until then.
Respectfully yours,
55th
Reunion Planning Committee
