The picnic is BYOAE
Bring Your Own Anything Else. Bring whatever else you want to eat or drink, or just some great stories of what you've been up to and where you hurt.
We are not collecting money in advance. We want as many classmates as possible to be able to attend. There is no money in the class treasury account for this picnic, so we are relying on donations from attendees to cover the costs. There will be a container near the food for contributions. We are estimating costs to be about $30 per person, but whatever you are comfortable chipping in, if anything at all, will be greatly appreciated. (cash or checks are fine). If you just want to come and hang out, listen to the band, and pass on the food and drink, we suggest a $5 donation to help with the permits.
Any donations of food or beverages are welcome! Snacks, side dishes, beverages, desserts to share are more than welcome! There is a kitchen available with stove, oven and refrigerator.
If you aren't drinking water or beer, be sure to bring your own beverages!! Alcohol may be consumed but not sold. Glass containers are forbidden.
(so bring your beer in cans, your wine in boxes and your hard stuff in flasks)
There is a big parking lot adjacent to Parish Hill. The area is flat and Handicapped Accessible, so no excuses! There are picnic tables inside and out. If the weather is nice, you might want to bring a camp chair - the outdoor seating is limited.
This is the only "official" event planned, but anyone that would like to gather a group of old pals for a warm-up is welcome to announce it here.
Tom Bowman is planning a reunion of those who grew up along Roosevelt Blvd behind Espe School at Roma from 4:00-7:00 on Friday, October 3rd. No special room - just look around for him.
Barry was able to reserve a block of hotel rooms at a discount - click the link below. If you need a room, reserve one soon. Local rooms are going fast and demand is pushing prices higher every day.
Folks planning on being there...

Reunion Picture Pages
We are going to keep this website up permanently to share information that everyone can access. We'd love it if you would send your pictures from the reunion activities. Be sure to include captions, please. Send pics to reunion.na73@gmail.com
We will keep the In Memoriam page as a tribute to our classmates who are with us only in our hearts now. We will also add a subpage for each one to collect pictures, memories, obituaries, eulogies - anything to honor their memory. Send tributes to reunion.na73@gmail.com
We received a lot of inquiries from classmates looking for fellow graduates, some we could help, some not. We are changing the "Missing" page to "Looking For...". The instructions for checking the North Allegheny Alumni Database are there. Also, if you leave your name, who you are looking for, and your email address, we'll post it. Maybe someone in the class knows how they can be reached.
