| Oct 12, 2002 Mini-Reunion from Carol Hanna by way of Bert Kunz Saturday, Oct 12 Sunday, Oct 13 |
Thank you for helping us notify '51 Classmates about the
mini-reunion. Sue Robinson just returned from a trip which included going to
Russia and we have now finalized plans. On Saturday, Oct 12 we will be
tailgating at 1402 North Grant. This is on the west side of the I.U. stadium.
You go to Dunn and then turn west on 18th and go one block to Grant. It is just
one short block from the stadium. We have converted a garage into a party place
for football games. We go about two hours before games and then stay about two
hours after. The Wisconsin - I.U. game is scheduled for kick-off at 11:10 P.M.
Come for brats and beer (and other goodies) either before or after the game or
both. You don't even have to go to the game. Just come and get together for
food and fellowship. Later we will gather at the City Grill. It is a sports bar in Bloomington and is across from the Convention Center at 216 South College. We have reservations for 6:30 and they have plenty of good food and spirits for whatever mood you are in. On Sunday morning we have reservations at Chapman's at 300 S S.R. 446. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet. The reservations are for 10:30 A.M. So hopefully many of you can join us for this mini-reunion. Since reservations are involved we need to have a ballpark figure of the numbers that will be at City Grill and Chapman's. If you have questions e-mail Carol or call us. Carol at 812-336-7491 or Sue R. at 812-339-6421. Hope lots of Guinea Pigs are able to come. See you soon! |
