The Goslin Family

Here's a message from our Hawaiian classmates, Rick & Kathy Goslin. They were not able to attend our 30th reunion, but they did order Pub Crawl T-shirts! Rick says that they hope to be able to make it for the 35th!

Aloha Classmates,
I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to our beautiful state of Hawaii. If anyone wants to come, contact me & we will set you up. Kathleen Monville Goslin and I have lived here since 1985. Feel free to share our phone #s & e-mail with our classmates. We would love to here from them.

What a Weekend!!!

As you can probably tell, from all the smiling faces in the posted photos, our 30th Reunion Weekend was a great success! We had about 35-40 classmates and spouses turn-out for the Pubcrawl on Friday night, and about 80 in attendance on Saturday.

As a committee, we heard so many wonderful comments throughout the weekend. Thank you to everyone who attended. It was great to be together with old friends again! We hope that everyone traveling had a safe journey home.

We've been asking and are hearing that most of you would like to continue to hold a reunion every five years. A suggestion was made to combine with the classes of 1976 and 1978, as our number of attendees is declining. If you have a comment in regard to this, please contact us via this blog or send us an email at: bccclassof1977@gmail.com. We appreciate your suggestions!

Also, if you have any photos from the weekend that you would like to post on this blog, please e-mail them and I'll get them uploaded. I've added a few new ones today. Keep watching!

The Reunion Weekend Has Arrived!

After months of planning, the weekend of our 30th Reunion is finally here! Tonight, beginning at 8 p.m., we will start the Pub Crawl at the Stein Haus on Water St. (part of the Atrium Restaurant across from St. Laurent Bros.) For those who have ordered, the t-shirts look great and will be distributed there! Then, it's off to Jake's Corner Bar, Old City Hall, Mulligan's, Gatsby's and the Doubletree. We are looking forward to a great turn-out of old friends!!!

Tomorrow night, our RSVP count is at 80, we will be at the Kingfish Restaurant & Tiki Lounge beginning at 7:00 p.m. It sounds like the weather is going to be glorious for an evening by the water! Can't wait to see you there!!!

Class of 1977's Newest Mommy!

Hi everyone! Meet Baby Grace, Melissa (Marble) Howard's six week old daughter. Grace will be making her first trip to Bay City this weekend, as Melissa is planning to join us at the reunion on Saturday. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl, Melissa!!!

Walter G. Cramer 1914-2007

Wally Cramer, 92, Bay City Central's longtime Band and Orchestra Director, passed away on Sunday, July 22, 2007 in Leland, MI. Mr. Cramer was the band director from 1944 until he retired the year we graduated, 1977. You can view and sign his guestbook online at: www.legacy.com/record-eagle/

Pub Crawl T-Shirt

There's a couple of days left to order your 30th Reunion Pub Crawl T-shirt! Designed by our classmate artist, Sara Urband-Murphy, the shirts will be printed in gold on your choice of a purple crew or tank style t-shirt. The cost is $10.00. If you are interested in ordering, please contact me at bccclassof1977@gmail.com. The deadline to order is this Wednesday, July 18th, so that we have them in time for Friday night's Pub Crawl - August 3rd - 8:00 p.m. (starting at the Stein Haus on Water St. - the shirts can be picked up there.) On the back of the t-shirt is a map to all of the taverns in Downtown Bay City that we will be "crawling" to! Looking forward to seeing you there!!!

Reunion Update

The countdown is on! Our 30th Class Reunion weekend is only 3 weeks away! With thanks to the Kingfish Restaurant, and their willingness to work with us despite our inability to meet the 100 RSVP minimum (we are currently at 70), our plans for Saturday evening remain unchanged. I've been receiving calls and e-mails, so there is still hope that the reservation list will continue to grow.

It is going to be a great weekend of reminiscing, good food, and fun music! We are looking forward to seeing everyone on the first weekend in August!!!

RSVP Deadline Extended

Where is everybody??? We have extended the reunion RSVP deadline to July 12th, as we need 40 more reservations to make this evening possible. Please call or e-mail and let us know that you've put your check in the mail! Don't miss out on a great party!!!

Sad News

I am very sad to report that our classmate, John Kernstock, passed away unexpectedly on June 29th. Please keep John's family in your thoughts and prayers.

News from Robbie (Spiess) Kotkosky

It was so nice to hear from Robbie! Sounds like life is good for her in Charlotte, NC. She works in national sales/marketing for Coca-Cola. Her daughter, Nicole, is 19 and attends college at NC State, in Raleigh. Nicole is an Equestrian and competes nationally. She and her horse Fred were recently featured in an ad for the National Championships (far left photo). Robbie also rides...the middle picture is of her on her horse, Arielle. Robbie regrets that she will not be able to join us in August, but sends her best wishes and looks forward to seeing pictures posted to the blog!
