Have You Moved?

Would you like to make my life easier?

It would be super cool if you could send me a message with your correct mailing address before I send out any mailings for the 25 year reunion. stephswanstrom@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Save the Date! August 11th, 2012

We will be doing some sort of reunion get together. We're just not sure of the details yet. We need a venue. Feel free to shout out some ideas. We're still in the brainstorming phase at this point.

This is an incredible loss for us, and everyone in Seattle for that matter.
I'd like to think he's having an espresso with Dante and Wagner right now. He will be missed.

Eilisa's 5th BOY!!

I'm a little late in posting this but a few weeks ago I received happy news from Eilisa (Maranville) Mayes:

Hi Everyone,

Somehow this original email got hung up in cyberspace. We did finally name our little one last Thursday: Carsten Randall. We are all doing well. Carsten is very sweet. I cant believe we have 5 boys - What am I going to do?????????? :-)


Well it is off to diapers and feedings - Love,
Eilisa

Hi everyone,

We just wanted to pass along that baby boy 5 and mom are doing great. He was born at 1:52pm AK on 9/21 (right at the end of the first half of the Seahawks - Rams game). Weighs 8lbs 2oz and is 20" long. We are having the usual trouble with a name. Preston likes " Bob the Builder". Not sure about that one. We can't wait to bring him home.

Randy and the boys

Join the Facebook Fever!!

Today I added Dodie Cordero as a Facebook Friend! Last week it was Nani Terrana! So ask yourself - 'Why haven't I joined Facebook?' Stephanie and Doug created the group 'JFK, Seattle, Class of 1987' last August after our 20 year and there are currently 55 members. This morning I chatted with Romadel while he was in Japan. Yes, I'm an addict but it's fun keeping in touch with everyone and seeing what they're up to.

See who's on Facebook TODAY! Here's a link to the group.

A Message from the Kennedy Alumni Association

Here's a message for everyone that I got from the school.

Exciting News: all Kennedy Football regular season games will be broadcast live over the Internet beginning with this Saturday’s opening game at Qwest Field vs. Kentwood. This is reportedly a Seattle and Washington State first for a high school to stream live its entire season. You can tune into www.waldcast.net to hear the games. You will need to download Quick Time, which is available on the site, to be able to listen to the games. We have contracted with a seasoned California broadcaster, Ronnie Wald, who will handle the play by play this season. If you can’t attend the games, plan to tune in.

Qwest Field Game: The Lancers are playing in the Emerald City Kick Off Classic tomorrow, September 6th at 5:30pm vs. Kentwood. Prior to the game, from 3pm until 5pm, the Alumni Association is hosting a Pre Game gathering at the King Street Bar and Grill directly north of Qwest Field on King Street. The Alumni Association is providing beer, pizza, and pasta for all that attend. There is no charge for this event and the King Street B & G is family friendly. I hope to see a number of you there; the weather is supposed to be superb.

20 Year Football Reunion: If you played football or were associated with the program for one year or all four from day one until 1989, plan to join us September 20th before, during, and after the 1:30pm contest vs. Evergreen. The former players will assemble prior to the game, be recognized at half time, then head back to the School for a family oriented BBQ after the conclusion of the game. Additional info will be forthcoming from the Alumni Relations Office.
Mike Utley DAM2DAM Bike Ride: once again the Alumni Association is participating and entering a team in the DAM2DAM Bike Ride September 27th in Wenatchee. You can get information and register to ride at: www.mikeutley.org/biketour.html. There will be an Alumni Association booth at the Ride. When you register, register under the Kennedy Alumni name. All folks registered under that name will receive a Kennedy Alumni, Mike Utley DAM2DAM shirt.
If you have any questions regarding any of these events, please contact myself or Gregg in the Alumni Office.

Be good, Jeff
