What fun to catch up on what we've all been doing the past 30 YEARS! I've especially appeciated it since I'll be out of town the weekend of the reunion. I know you all will have a great time.

Thanks, Ellen etal for the site.

Susan Kalishman Goldberg

Hey, I resemble that remark about getting kicked out of the library -- but I don't think I was a smart alec -- just a talkaholic. Not sure that much has changed! Looking forward to seeing everyone in September! Thanks, Ellen, for your hard work!

Paul Bohlmann

Hi, all! This is kinda fun--thanks Ellen and everybody else who had a hand!

Ellen has issued a personal challenge off-line to post a political opinion. Here goes. Three simple words:

O. Ba. Ma.

'Nuff said.

Paul Bohlmann

Oh. And one more thing:

Winnie the Pooh IS a Disney character.

(Sort of.)

Brenda Nelson 444 Coronado Drive

Disney MADE the bear of very little brain fit into the Disney mold. They had to; we needed a float theme for junior (or was that senior?) year.

Hope you all are coming; I'm rather excited to see all the exchanges.

I remember a shaved ice place with mega huge snow cones with lots of syrup that we would frequent at times instead of Ted Drewes. It no longer exists, hasn't for quite a long time, and was behind a hospital or med center somewhere. Anyone remember that place besides me?

Molly Berger Shaikewitz

Hi Linda! I remember a shaved ice place on Big Bend between Clayton Rd. and Manchester? There's a great shaved ice shack in Kirkwood called Tropical Moose, that my kids absolutely loved. Anyone know if it's still there, at the Kirkwood Farmer's Market???

David Schwartz

Linda-

I remember that sno-cone place! Wasn't it behind a hospital (??? St. Mary's??) on Clayton Rd? It was great.

Ellen McDonald

I remember that place...and how the parking lot was so sticky from all that spilled syrup! What was that name...?

Ellen McDonald

Snow Biz! With thanks to Greg Ellston and my sister, Claire...

Hey all,

Have to admit I freaked out a bit when I got the reunion invite. I just went to my 25th college reunion last October and I'm still not over that!

The play list looks great. As far as music requests - how about some Heart and Jimmy Buffet?

Dorothy Shaw Jones

Anyone remember going to Swenson's in Ladue?

Dorothy Shaw Jones

Do you have any contacts for the class of 77?

Brenda Nelson 444 Coronado Drive

I wonder how many calories we consumed at Swenson's? That was some rich ice cream and it was nice to have the Ladue girls serving US. That and the cookie in the sundaes were the best things about that. : )

Molly Berger Shaikewitz

Post pictures, people! It's so much fun to see you, your family, your pets, your activities. If you haven't posted any yet, please do!!! Thanks~

Does anyone remember hanging out at Star Chamber? And bowling and playing real pinball up at Tropicana? How about lunch on Saturdays at Famous Barr. Onion Soup and a Coke for $1.25.

Dorothy Shaw Jones

Oh I remember Famous Barr....I loved their french onion soup. I still have a pair of beady earrings I got there.And they are back in fashion now.

If I knew how to do the pictures I would...I will try to get my kids to help me They are home this weekend.

Linda Stein 2224 SE 28th Place

I remember all those places - Famous Barr, Swensons, Tropicana, and Star Chamber too! But how about Michael's and the Time Machine?! Anyone want to admit to disco fever?

Debbie Miller Ross

All of these memories prove what I have been telling my kids for years--WE INVENTED THE STUFF YOU DO NOW! The Time Machine, beady earrings, Candies (shoes). One funny thing was about 7 years ago I walked through the Juniors dept at Famous and saw you could buy jeans with pen writing already on them! And the price. My son would cut the side seams of his khakis down by the shoes and it would drive my husband nuts. I reminded him what we used to do to our clothes; he stopped complaining after that flashback.

Dorothy Shaw Jones

The Tropicana is still there thats about it I think....I think about Michaels and the Time Machine every time we go by that building.

Molly Berger Shaikewitz

Tropicana is still there. I was thinking of Crossroads Bowl, which is now the land an enormous Linens and Things sits on! Michael's and the Time Machine is giving me such flashbacks... "Burn, baby, burn, DISCO INFERNO!" Will there be mirror balls at any of our events?

Louis Stiffelman

What about these old hangouts?
Carl's Drive-in
Fitz's (Orange stand)
Various swimming pools on weekend nights
Steak n Shake (overplayed)
CrossRoads Bowl
ClaMorgans
Clayton Skating Rink (On a Friday night)
The Big "O"....OK I never really went there.
Varsity Theater...but I did go there.

Nancy Lubowitz

I just have one question; What in the HECK am I doing up at 1:35 in the morning, when I have to go in to work tomorrow?? I'll tell you what! I'm feeding my new addiction! The CHS reunion web site! Wish I'd realized that this was here two months ago - - - well, maybe not! In any case, I am actually going to go to bed now. Can't wait to see everyone in TWO WEEKS!!!

Nancy Lubowitz

Um - - - I swear it's NOT 2:39 am!! The time posted seems to be an hour later than it really is. Okay, it's too late for me to figure this stuff out. I'm outa here!

Susie McDonnell Keith 754 Josephine Avenue

Louis...you mentioned the Varsity Theatre...the home of The Rocky Horror Picture Show! My high school boyfriend (Steven Piccione...went to CBC) 's dad owned The Varsity, and we went there A LOT! We thought we were pretty cool because, since Steven's dad owned it, we could bypass the big long lines (with our friends in tow) and go right in...FOR FREE. I'm fairly mortified to recall now how many times I watched that awful thing!
