CORRECTION: MILNE ALUMNI REUNION INVITATION AND RESERVATION FORM Thanks to Jana HESSER's "eagle eyes," there is a correction to the reunion invitation form. Please note that the phone number for Marriott room reservations is 1-800-443-8952, and this number has been updated here, where you will find the Milne Alumni Reunion Invitation and Reservation form. If you are planning to attend the reunion banquet, please send your reservation and check as soon as possible so that we will have an opportunity to request a larger room if necessary. Extra space is available for a limited time only, so if there are too many late responses, we may have to turn away some alumni. If you have a problem accessing the invitation and reservation form or have any questions, please click here to contact me, and I will email the forms directly to you and/or answer your questions. CLASS CONTACT JACKIE MANN GAVRYCK, '47, STEPS DOWN Jackie MANN Gavryck, '47, is stepping down from her position as Class Contact. As some of you may know, Jackie and her husband Chet lost their home during the Hurricane Irene floods, leaving them with the need to find a new home and with "horrendous paperwork, insurances, FEMA, etc." In addition, Chet has been facing some medical issues. As Jackie stated, "It's been a whale of a bad time all around." Not only was Jackie an active Class Contact but she was also instrumental in the planning for the 2005 Milne Alumni Reunion. Thanks, Jackie, for all you have done for your class and for Milne alumni in general. 1959 YEARBOOK ONLINE From Mike Ungerman, '59: "As a part of the Class of '59's 50th reunion, Nancy Clausen was kind enough to lend me her copy of Bricks & Ivy for 1958-59, which I scanned in and posted on Picasa Web's site. I'll have my notebook with me at the Alumni Reunion in September to share these pictures, but you can have a preview at this link: http://bit.ly/HFNjCs." Thanks for sharing, Mike! MILNE ALUMNI CHORUS REHEARSAL The Milne Alumni Chorus will be rehearsing at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 27th, at Page Hall. If you are interested in further information, contact Richard Propp by clicking here. We're looking forward to being entertained by the chorus at our reunion banquet. SAD NEWS Please note that I rely upon the Albany Times Union and input from other alumni for this information, so if you become aware of someone who has passed away, please let me know.
