Apologies for the silence but sometimes life just gets in the way of
important things like…..giving our Jubail friends an update on this once in a
lifetime event! HOW IS EVERYONE????
Steve Amos has been designated “Music Man” for the reunion and will be
sure to take us all down memory lane with the great ensemble of tunes he is
putting together. If you happen to have any special requests, like perhaps
“Freebird” or “Stairway to Heaven” or “Ring My Bell” make sure to send
them to: [email protected]…then, start digging for your disco shoes and
Rush 2112 concert t-shirts!
Sediqs!! We have learned that only 8 people from the total mailing list have
committed to this gig with a hotel reservation. We realize there is still
plenty of time but don’t mind us if we nudge a bit…get
on it!! J We
want to see the number climb! Judging from the emails we’ve received, we
know you want this just as badly as we do so please call the Four Points
Sheraton to claim your space right away! Keep in mind that if it took us 23
years to get this one together, who knows when we will do this again so we
really hope you all decide to take the plunge and show up - no matter how
much you might cringe at the thought of old pictures with foxy hairdos and
cool 70s outfits, and all the stories, confessions, and gossip that are sure to
be told during the weekend!! Ooooooo yeah baby!! J
Anyway, we also direly need your help to get as many of our friends back
together so PLEASE PLEASE spread the word, do some internet research,
ask your parents if they are still in touch with our friend’s parents. Only
with your help can we reach everyone. Pass on all these newsletters, pass on
the reunion contact information (Karina’s). Tell everyone that this event is
also posted on the Jubail Academy website and the Bechtel Community
News Network (company intranet accessible to families of Bechtel
employees/retirees).
All newsletters from now on will provide an update on who has committed
and who hasn’t (see the Who? Box to the left). Also, if you would like to
share your Then, Now and In Between profile (see next page) to entice
people a bit, jog their memories, and make them long to see us all again,
please send Karina any relevant and entertaining data and information. See
you all in just 3 months!!!!! Stay tuned for more details!
