CommentsGeneva (Ellingstad) Koleski Sun, 10 Jun 2007 17:26:53 Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3. Lori (Neubauer) Davis Mon, 11 Jun 2007 07:55:34 I left the 10 year reunion (which was such a different event to try to organize without the help of much internet knowledge) wishing I spoke to so many more people. If anyone knows where Larry Roberts is, please let him know of the reunion plans. I'd love to catch up with him! See you there. Lori Michelle (Myers) Pastorek Wed, 13 Jun 2007 10:07:43 I'm still looking for any and all leads on alumni whereabouts. Even if you think I might already have contact info on someone, send it to me anyway (mmpastorek@sbcglobal.net) so I can cross-reference it with my list. We don't want anyone to miss this way cool reunion!! Thanks - Michelle Beth (Schiessl) Maki Fri, 22 Jun 2007 12:20:09 Thanks for the phone call the other night, Heather! I'm not sure if I would have found out about the reunion otherwise. I'm looking forward to it, but I can't believe it's been 20 years! I sure don't feel a whole 20 yrs older than I did in high school-although my faulty memory regarding most events in high school probably prove me otherwise. Looking forward to seeing everyone on August 4th! Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:04:43 Hello all. Steven Rice Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:44:12 Ok, this seems to be a chick board so I thought it needed a guys touch. Ok, ok, just kidding, but I figure its never too early to get started. Since you cant make it Angie, dont plan anything for July 21, 2012 for the 25th. My restaurants should be pretty well up and running by then so at least we have that part covered. To everyone else, see you on the 4th. Heather (Felton) Powell Mon, 25 Jun 2007 19:28:24 Thanks, Steve, for using that ever-politically correct term of "chick." I'm sure all of us ladies will stand in line to buy you a drink...and then pour it over your head ;) Steven Rice Mon, 25 Jun 2007 21:11:43 Oops, my bad... make sure the drinks that get dumped on me are something I like, that way when they run down my face I get a little taste. Tue, 26 Jun 2007 08:57:09 Hey all -- the blog was a great idea! I'll add a link to it from my blog when I get a chance. Tue, 26 Jun 2007 10:12:55 Just adding my two cents! I'm not sure if I can make the reunion, this is my busy season. I hope I can! It'd be cool to see you all! Lynn (Harris) Farmer Thu, 28 Jun 2007 20:19:12 Is there any way to access the registry information if I will not be at the event? I would love to know what everyone is up to! Heather (Felton) Powell Fri, 29 Jun 2007 08:44:31 We've included a link on the Register page for those who can't attend the reunion, but would like to update everyone. Just click on "what's been going on" and tell us all about it! Donna (Swiontek) Bukalders Mon, 02 Jul 2007 21:13:23 How exciting! I can't wait to see what everyone has been up to! Is there a way to see what people are answering as they are updating the registry? Todd Robinson Tue, 03 Jul 2007 02:59:14 Hello, Everyone. WOW! I can't believe this is really happening. I'm like Beth...where did the last 20 years go? Unfortunately, I don't know if I will be able to make the reunion, but I would love to see all of you and know how you are doing. Just reading your posts is making me feel all warm inside :-) I will complete the "what's been going on page" as soon as I have a moment. God bless. Clare (Diggelman) Kaminski Tue, 03 Jul 2007 07:43:15 Hey Everyone! This is so much fun! I got out my yearbook, dusted it off, and laughed out loud reading what people wrote and seeing how young we look! For those of you who are checking this blog and not posting- PLEASE post! Lisa Schalig-Winter Tue, 03 Jul 2007 20:43:23 Clare, Ron Zalben Wed, 04 Jul 2007 10:35:16 Its hard to believe that 20 years have gone by,where has the time gone? I live overseas- unfortunately I am not going to be able to make the reunion. I would love to hear from anyone who wants to email me. Michelle (Myers) Pastorek Wed, 04 Jul 2007 20:41:46 Hello everyone - In response to the questions regarding how to view the registry info/survey questions classmates are completing .. An alumni booklet will be made available after the reunion. On a different note, PLEASE include your email address when blogging. Many of you have stated that you would like others to email you, but you have to put your email address in your message. Thank much! Look forward to seeing everyone on August 4th! Thu, 05 Jul 2007 12:38:21 Hello to All, Laura Egelseer (Drezek) Thu, 05 Jul 2007 13:11:27 Can't wait for the 4th! I have been enjoying all the humor flying around this blog! Love it! Thu, 05 Jul 2007 14:56:26 Hello all! Trevor Thurston Fri, 06 Jul 2007 11:08:12 I'm in touch with Zach Taylor, he wrestles in Texas! The Wedge-buster is a pro wrestler!!!!! Anyway, I'll let him know. Jennifer (Sommers) Roberts Fri, 06 Jul 2007 11:24:47 Hi All- can't wait to see everyone on the 4th. I am in Indiana now, just a couple hours away from Milwaukee! Would love to hear how others are doing- email is jroberts7605@sbcglobal.net. See you soon! Megan (John) Jeffers Fri, 06 Jul 2007 14:26:03 Hi everyone, Eric Czerwinski Fri, 06 Jul 2007 22:41:15 Hello all. I'm currently stationed in Dover De with the USAF. I won't be able to attend, but I sure would like to see pictures of all of the old folks that aged while I didn't, hehehe... Anyways, hope all of you are in good health. Jenny Baker (Goetzinger) Mon, 09 Jul 2007 14:49:37 Hey all, Michelle Hohnke Mon, 09 Jul 2007 19:57:17 Hey!!!! This is great! Not sure if I'm attending the reunion yet. Tue, 10 Jul 2007 15:03:10 I don't know if I will be coming depends on what's going on. I have an intensive engineering class that I got stuck taking around that time and from the looks of the schedule it looks awfully scary. Karissa Jackson Wed, 11 Jul 2007 10:08:22 Hello to everyone. 20 years??? My how does time fly!!! See you all on the 22nd and/or August 4th. My e-mail address missknj@aol.com or jacksokn@milwaukee.k12.wi.us Clare (Diggelman) Kaminski Wed, 11 Jul 2007 12:11:04 Hello again, Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:03:07
Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:11:32 OR you can check out RKHS.org and click alumni... Heather (Felton) Powell Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:06:11 Some of you have indicated that you would complete at least the info only section of the website, if not the registration form to attend the reunion. If you haven't done so yet, please, please, please do! We'd like to have as complete of a class "picture" as possible! Rachel and Shunda Thu, 12 Jul 2007 20:44:09 We are just hanging out over here looking at all the replies. We will probably come to alumnfest, but not to the reunion. As far as pictures I have some, but we all know digital is in so if I have time I will have to take pictures of the pictures and then email them. We will see. Shaun Jordan Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:49:35 Hello won't be able to make it, but would love to hear from one and all. Time did pass quickly. Boy what a great 4 years. Please email me all at scjordan3@sbcglobal.net Love u all Darian Griffin Sat, 14 Jul 2007 09:37:38 It has been great reading all of the posts and I look forward to seeing all who will be in attendance on August 4th. Britt (Sundquist) Baertlein Sat, 14 Jul 2007 18:54:28 It has been a lot of fun reading this and looking at the year book! It just can't be 20 years. (Diggelman I'm finally on!) Can't wait to see everyone! Sat, 14 Jul 2007 22:57:12 I think I am coming...it depends on a couple of things. Seeing some of those names listed though would certainly be well worth it. Michelle Nashleanas Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:38:36 Hi folks, Wed, 18 Jul 2007 13:29:47 Warmest wishes to everyone, Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:59:54 Heather - Laura Drezek Egelseer Wed, 18 Jul 2007 18:32:54 Em!! As I read your post I can actually hear your voice! Boy, I miss you! Charles Kimble Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:28:36 Hello everyone. It was great reading the replies and trying to put faces with the names. As luck would have it, I'm visiting Wisconsin during the time of the reunion and will see you guys there. Please feel free to e-mail at chuckkimble@earthlink.net Donna (Swiontek) Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:24:40 It has been so much fun reading this blog and I can't wait to see everyone at the reunion. Britt!!!! What's your email address? Mine's dbukalders@wi.rr.com--Write me! Larence Rushing Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:35:10 Hello all, I will definitely be at this great event. My wife Sarita(Smith) will also there. I look forward to seeing all of you. Feel free to send e-mail. Michelle (Myers) Pastorek Thu, 19 Jul 2007 21:49:15 Thought you all would like to know that several of our teachers from King will be attending the reunion also. Expected to attend: Mrs. Jupka, Mrs. Lovell, Mrs. Wood. Possible attendance: Mr. Gallagher, Mr. Mackinson. Mr. Hajewski sends his regrets, but he wanted everyone to know that the Class of 1987 was one of his favorites to teach. Dylan Bolin (Bolin) Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:35:47 I look forward to seeing you all again... Geneva (Ellingstad) Koleski Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:45:46 Hi Everyone! Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:44:47 Just booked my ticket home. Steve Rice Fri, 20 Jul 2007 17:11:00 Woo hoo, this should be a lot of fun. Can we make it a gift certificate to Kopps instead?? I miss that soooo much, all we have here is DQ and marble slab, just not the same. And since I didnt post my email in my first message its, steverice99@yahoo.com Anne Fleury Sun, 22 Jul 2007 19:33:57 So, how many guesses do we have for the DQ certificate? Can you please make sure it hasn't expired before I win it? Clare and Meg-I'm so glad you both got married - does Megan's mom still think you guys are lovers? Jenny S and Jenny G can't wait to see you guys. Anyone still trying to smoke catnip? It doesn't work too well, but it is a cheap alternative... Megan Jeffers John Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:10:31 Now Anne, that was only because she found us lying across the bed listening to sad music. Besides, we gave that up long ago... Anne Fleury Mon, 23 Jul 2007 18:50:11 Well okay. Let's take the three nameless people and the certificate winner and go to the top-GOLDMANN"s. Who can beat food that's been around for 110 years? How about a foot of rings from yesterday's frier? ...and you can help yourself to a new babushka or a pair of 76' pants. Let's go!! Emily Copps Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:04:34 Sweet. Heather (Felton) Powell Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:59:27 I just read that Goldmann's is closing (or perhaps has--it takes a while for Milwaukee news to reach the Twin Cities). Sad. I need those 76" pants after all the trips to their candy counter. Yummy! Laura (Drezek) Egelseer Tue, 24 Jul 2007 07:36:11 Oh, excuse me, I thought I was in the Rufus King class of '87 blog, this must be the South Division class of '51 reunion blog!! Steve Rice Tue, 24 Jul 2007 08:00:39 Goldmanns is closing on September 30th. Kinda sucks too, I remember going there for cheap suits and other goodies. I wonder what they are going to do with the building? Heather (Felton) Powell Tue, 24 Jul 2007 10:53:16 Sounds like we should organize a field trip! I personally believe that Goldmanns should donate the granny panties and big pants to the Historical Society to be preserved for future generations of Milwaukee children ;) Anne Fleury Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:22:24 Okay Goldmann's shoppers-here's the scoop. Heather (Felton) Powell Tue, 24 Jul 2007 22:42:53 Finally, a bra that fits! Emily Copps Wed, 25 Jul 2007 06:09:41 I can't understand why Goldmann's has to close. Either they keep losing merchandising talent to Nordstrom's or they finally succumbed to competition from the internet. Carrie (Spencer) Ghose Wed, 25 Jul 2007 18:13:45 I stayed up way too late the other night showing my husband the yearbook and looking at some hilarious hair. Rick Kreuzer Wed, 25 Jul 2007 23:44:59 Amazing how time just zips by. Thu, 26 Jul 2007 07:24:32 Carrie: What makes you think I'm hanging with the theater crowd? The hickeys? No actor in his right mind would allow himself to be "marked" like that. If you must know, I haven't hung with the theater crowd since that ill-conceived production of "The Diary of Anne Frank: On Ice!" By the way, have you ever tried to skate in Jack Boots? Laura (Drezek) Egelseer Thu, 26 Jul 2007 08:49:56 Guess who's going to Goldmann's tomorrow (Friday)? Any special requests? Anne Fleury Thu, 26 Jul 2007 18:00:52 Can you get me one of the used harinets off a waitress? Michelle (Myers) Pastorek Thu, 26 Jul 2007 20:10:13 Based on the last several posts, I'd have to say you're all crazy! But that's good, because it means the reunion will be crazy fun. Let's not get too out of hand, though, as Mr. Ptak will be attending our reunion! Dr. Stark and Mrs. Johnston are hoping to stop by, too. I'm happy to also note that we've had several new registrations. Stay tuned for the latest attendee listing. FYI to Dylan - you're lucky Mr. Nolan is not planning to attend .. anyone remember hickey check days?? Lisa Schalig-Winter Fri, 27 Jul 2007 23:36:59 I wish I could be at the reunion. I would love to see some old friends. Am I the only one with a Pearls and Lace wine glass from prom in my cupboard? It's been great fun watching new names appear on the list. (Hi Dylan Mann). Many of you know that Peter Bailie and I got married shortly after high school. We had a beautiful daughter named Maya. Peter died 6 years ago. As much as I would love to attend, I don't think I could walk through the door without him. I'm enjoying my life in Alaska. I am remarried to a great guy. I would love to send a picture of Clare Diggleman as one of my bridesmaids:) I hope you have a blast and I can't wait to hear the stories and see pics. Emily Copps Sat, 28 Jul 2007 09:33:30 I have goosebumps after reading your note, Lisa. Terri (Noyes) Kuhlmann Sat, 28 Jul 2007 09:35:23 I've put off signing in long enough, as I hate to admit that I can't join in on the Goldmann's fun! However, just couldn't resist any longer... Dylan Mann Sun, 29 Jul 2007 20:21:57 It's been such a long time since I've seen most of the people on the list, I'm looking forward to catching up. Beth (Schiessl) Maki Mon, 30 Jul 2007 09:55:06 I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday... I've had a great time looking through my yearbook-it's definitely reminding me of things that had been forgotten long ago (I guess my brain gets full quite easily). Ron Zalben Mon, 30 Jul 2007 10:26:10 Lisa- I am really sorry about Peter. Steven Rice Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:03:03 Hey Ron, sorry that you cant make it, but I will definitely be thinking of the ducky busters while I am there. Email me when you have time and let me know what youre up to ( steverice99@yahoo.com ) And yeah, like I've said before dont plan anything for the 22nd of July 2012 for the 25th. Darian Griffin Tue, 31 Jul 2007 03:20:25 Ronnie Z. I have to admit every time I read your name I think about you putting your hand through the glass while running stairs at wrestling practice. You have to make it in 2012. Engrid Smith Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:41:52 I am really looking forward to seeing everyone. i just purchased a new digital camera and boy do i love to take pictures.... i am hoping to bring a little sunshine and good weather from the west (the best coast of course. Michelle (Myers) Pastorek Wed, 01 Aug 2007 22:14:15 Only a couple of days left before the BIG event!! We're very anxious to see everyone on Saturday. The party room at Long Wong's is totally awesome, the food and drinks will be stellar, the music will rock, and of course seeing our friends will be way cool. The parking, however, may bite. There's a Brewers' game on Saturday, and since Wong's is near Miller Park, parking may be a challenge. To the ladies, please consider the parking situation if you're planning to wear "hoochy mama" shoes. To the guys, please be gentlemen, and drop your gal off at the door! See you all soon!!! Steven Rice Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:30:21 Well, tomorrow is the big day finally. It should be pretty fun to see how everyone has changed. I have to take lots of pictures ( borrowed a good digicam just for the occasion ) since I missed the 5, 10, and 15 need to make up for lost time. Anyhow, see everyone tomorrow and to all those that cant/couldnt make it, remember... July 22, 2012. Anne Fleury Fri, 03 Aug 2007 12:27:09 Hey guys, just a heads up. There is a game at the stadium at 6:05 on Sat. Do we have reserved parking at the bar? Please let me know. I'm guessing we might have trouble finding space.... Heather (Felton) Powell Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:02:58 There is no reserved parking. Consider it Rufus King's alumni wellness plan ;) Steven Rice Fri, 03 Aug 2007 16:10:23 Whoops, just looked it up, its July 21st, 2012. Alumfest will most likely be the 22nd. Ron Zalben Mon, 06 Aug 2007 10:02:00 Darian: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 09:47:01 I looked at Liza's pictures a few minutes ago and it left me hungry for more. Please let me know where I can see more pictures or get a copy of the slideshow - I'll pay! Sounds like everyone had a great time. I would love to stay in touch w/everyone. Please email me anytime at angie.fitz@yahoo.com or you can always get me through the "contact me" link on my website. Shaun C. Jordan Sun, 19 Aug 2007 21:26:37 Sorry I missed the fun will definitely be at the 25th. Bart Laughlin Sat, 25 Aug 2007 22:46:35 Hi all, Leave a Reply |
