There will be several hotels to choose from that will be listed on the new Reunion Website. We are checking discounts (AAA/AARP) and if there is a discount on staying multiple days.

There will also be a discounted rate at the Renaissance and a block of rooms have been set aside.

Ed and I are going out for lunch today, with the intentions of setting up our next "Fundango," which we are hoping to have on Tuesday, April 17th (when we can all celebrate having completed our tax returns ... hopefully). Stay tuned for details.

Well, Ed and I met up at our intended restaurant of choice, only to discovery that they were closed on Monday (oops). So we talked things over and made a hasty decision to go with our newly devised, "Plan B." Actually, Ed had heard that a nearby eatery had a Spartan connection through one of the owner’s family members, so we decided to try the place out.
 
Long story short, the food was pretty good, the management agreed to work with us, there will be a band there on Tuesday night, and they have what seems to be some pretty good Tuesday Night Specials (that we thought that you might like to try). Apparently, on Tuesday Nights, you can buy margaritas for $2, pints for $1, and tacos (it must be Taco Tuesday) for $1.
 
So make plan’s to attend our Tuesday, April 17th, “Fundango,” at the “Pat and Dandy’s Sports Bar & Grill (on Google Map it reads P & D Sports Page Bar & Gril), which is located at 3340 W. Laskey Rd. If you need a landmark to help you, it is just west of the Secor & Laskey intersection, on the north side of Laskey Road.
 
Hope to see you there.

Good News!  The reunion web site is ready!  To see the schedule, get hotel info and make your reservation, go to: www.shs50reunion.com 

All of the weekend activities (except golf and alcoholic drinks) are covered by the $75 per person cost. Events are not individually priced. 

The committee continues to raise money to make sure that costs can be covered. If you are able to help, please add to your total when you check out.

The web site will be updated as the schedule fills out. Golf costs will be set soon. Make reservations directly with the hotels and motels. The Renaissance Toledo has provided a direct link for reservations.

If the information is not on the web site, please be patient--we just don't have all the details yet. We will post details when they become available.

Beach Boys are at Centennial on July 18. I have seen them in concert before and it's one big sing along with lots of 60s and 70s songs. Anyone interested in going? Going as a group would be a lot of fun!

Hello fellow Spartans - as you can see by the postings on this website, final details are in the works for our 50th reunion.  There will be a mailing going out to everyone  so if you have moved or haven't updated your address, please update your "Profile" so we don't miss you.  Check out the shs50reunion.com website or for those of us that are "technically" challenged, the next mailing will have all of the details for events, registration and party details.  

For anyone locally if you're hesitant about the reunion - "I won't know anybody" - please come to one of the Fundango get-togethers.  It's a great way to get reacquainted before the reunion.  Watch the "Message Forum" for details.  People I hardly knew in high school have become friends.

Don't forget - update those profiles.  I hope to see everyone in October - if not before.  For those who can't make the reunion for whatever reason - illness, $$, - please send me an email at nancyszy@bex.net & let me know what you've been up to in the last 50 years.  We can share this info (or not if you prefer) with our classmates.  Let me hear from you!

May God bless all the members of the Great Start High Class of '68!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that Ed and I have targeted a “near" downtown location for our next “Fundango,” that we are scheduling for Tuesday, May 22nd. We had lunch there today, but were unable to finalize the arrangements. However, I wanted to provide everyone with the date that so that they would have plenty of time to arrange their social calendars. Details to follow. Opa!

Hello Fellow Spartans - be watching your mailboxes for a detailed letter regarding the reunion.  Marge, Deb & I folded, stuffed, labeled & stamped.  They were delivered to the US Post Office this afternoon.  I truly hope that everyone plans to attend our 50th reunion.

Sorry to hear about loss of Steve in 2014. He worked with me at General Mills as a line operator and then as a floor supervisor in the packaging dep't before he decided to leave for other endeavers.

OK, as advertised, our May “Fundango” will be on Tuesday, May 22nd, from 6 pm until whenever it is that we all get tired and go home, at the "Attic On Adams” (located just above Manos Greek Restaurant). The “Attic on Adams” is situated on the southwest corner of Adams & 17th streets (1701 Adams Street), in the original open container area of Toledo, with plenty of free parking just behind the building.

 
I checked the ratings and reviews and found that the "Attic On Adams” had 268 reviews and received a 4.5 star rating.
 
Its not quite like the Kalokerinos Tavern in Athens with the ethnic dancing and the breaking of plates on the dance floor, but they do sell ouzo, and I am expecting to hear the utterance of one or two shouts of “Opa” while we are there, so plan on being at our May “Fundango” as the "68" Start Spartans go Greek for a night.
 
Opa!

Speaking of “Fundangoes,” I have an important date for you. On Thursday, October 4th, Ed has made arrangements for our 50th reunion “Fundango” to be held over at the “Original Tony Packo’s,” over on the east side, at 1902 Front Street, from 6 pm until 9 pm. 

 
So mark it down on your social calendar, and consider this as being part of our 50th Reunion package of events. And in the immortal words of my favorite math teacher, Mr. Eller, “Don’t get yourself behind the eight ball,” by missing out on biggest, and baddest, “Fundango” of them all.
 
Oh, and I almost forgot ..... "May the 4th be with you."

Dale and Ed, my prayers have been answered!!  Retsina, Spinach pie, flaming cheese.  See you two there.

Cheryl Miller (Johnson)

Manos & The Attic is a great venue.  So disappointed Jack & I won't be there.  Once, again, it falls on the 4th Tuesday. Bummer! Have fun!

68 Spartans;

If you have gone to the reunion web site (www.shs68reunion.com) and did not get the correct Renaissance Hotel rate of $129 a night, please go back and try again. The link has been updated to reflect the Start rate--we have our own page. Rooms are NOT $199. Our rate is $129 (less that the Holiday Inn French Quarter). Here's the link:

Sorry to miss the May Fundango--out of town--actually out of the country chasing the tortoises on The Galapagos Islands!

That didn't post well. Let's try again.
