Greetings All,
Just 4 days to go til our reunion. If you are still undecided you can still come and pay at the door. About 70 people have committed to attend. That is a great response.
The best route to the cookout at Barraud Park is Tidewater Drive to Vista St. That would put you right where our activities will be. You may want to bring a couple of folding chairs as seating may be limited.
The Hospitality Suite at the Airport Hilton will be in room 331, and the
dinner/dance will be in Ballrooms C & D.
Please check your spam folder in your email program if you have not been receiving the class's emails. Add BTW68@aol.com and btwclassof68blog@gmail.com to your safe senders list so the mail can get through.
If you have chosen not to stay at the Airport Hilton there is a Holiday Inn Select beside it and there is the Lake Wright Executive Center next to that. All of them front on Military Hwy.
The next nearest accomodations is the Ramada at the intersection of Northhampton Blvd & Military Hwy. There is a LaQuinta Inn across from the Ramada where the old Yings Chinese restaurant used to be.
Hope to see you soon.

Disc-O-Ten, Tell Us Your Favorite Oldies
I am sure you all remember the Disc-O-Ten t.v.show from our youth.
I and reps.from many other schools have sought to acquire a copy
of our class' appeareance on the show for presentation at our
respective reunions or other functions.
Below is a response from Gene Loving(WGH)to my inquiry about
obtaining a copy for our reunion. As you may recall he,
along with Dick Lamb, hosted Disc-O Ten.
Edward, sounds like you are putting a lot of work into the reunion,
trying to make it special for your former classmates and friends.
I would love to direct you to a copy of any Disc-O-Ten show,
but they have all faded away.
In those days the tape machines were giant,
the tape was 2 ins wide and a reel of tape weighed about 20 pounds.
WAVY did not copy any of the few shows they had once the
personal size recorders appeared.
Someone told me they have a small clip that they played on air at
a WAVY 50th anniversary show but that is all I know about.
You could try contacting WAVY. Have a fun event. regards, gene
Mr.Loving is currently CEO of Max Media LLC which acquires, builds and
operates television and radio stations throughout the United States.
That he took the time to respond to our request in less than 24 hrs was,
to me, quite impressive.
That clip he mentioned that WAVY showed at it's anniversary is highly
unlikely to be the show we were on.
So,class,you can help make our reunion in August a success by suggesting songs from 1965 to 1970 that you would like to hear played at the event. Click the comments link at the end of this post and leave the name of the songs and the artists. If you cant remember the artist, that's o.k.
Also, if by chance you have an old cassette of a DJ's radio broadcast from that era it would lend a bit of nostalgia that would go over quite well. You will be given credit for your contribution.
Credit. Not a check!
Contact the class at btwclassof68blog@gmail.com to make arrangements.
Here is a link to a very interesting article regarding the economy,
and why things are the way they are.
If you think things are rough now, just wait.
When Bad Is Good-The Doomed Dollar
Finally, some old photos from way back.
If you know where they are let them know they are blog stars.
