Remember Me?

The reonion committee is trying to locate classmates and finalizing details for the 40th reunion the weekend of August 13-15, 2010.

We have planned – and are still planning! – activities for the entire weekend.

After YOU have registered, if you are in touch with any WRHS 1970 classmates, please encourage them to look at this reunion site and connect with the rest of us.

We need your help finding our classmates! If you are in touch with classmates, don’t assume they are aware of the reunion or this web site. Please contact them and encourage them to register here and attend reunion weekend. And if you know of classmates who are deceased, please send us their names and any information you have.

Here is a brief overview of reunion activities. For details see the “40th Reunion Details” page.

  • Friday, August 13, 2010, starting at 6:30 pm: get together at Buffalo Rose in Golden
  • Saturday, August 14, 2010
    - during the day, “mini reunions
    - 6:30 pm to 1 am, dinner, music and casino tables at Crystal Rose on Lookout Mountain (the old Sam’s – 636 Lookout Mountain Road, Golden, CO)
  • Sunday, August 15, 2010
    - tour of WRHS and picnic at Paramount Park near the school

Please let us know if you have a mini-reunion planned (band, drama, pep, math club, etc.), so we can add it to the list – the Traho-Ins (car guys) are getting together! Many classmates who live outside Colorado have committed and will attend. Hotel info is here.

If you have questions or better yet, would like to help, feel free to contact and join with the folks working on the 40th reunion at

Register Now!

Whether or not you can attend the 40th reunion, we encourage all members of the WRHS class of 1970 to register and set up a profile on this site. Then you can get in touch with your classmates and we can update you on reunion plans and details.

Once you register, you will be able to see profiles for other classmates who registered, plus past reunion directories (1980, 1990, and 2000), yearbook and activity photos, and more. Your profile here is visible only to other classmates who register, and in your profile you set the amount of information you want to display. After you register, you can come back at any time and modify your profile.

Sponsors

If you are interested in advertising on the web site, please contact us. The reunion committee has arranged for the web site to be up and running for at least the next 4 years (although the plan is to keep it running continuously until the next reunion), so your ad will be visible for a long time. We have Silver Sponsorships available for $250 (less than $30 per year!): a business card sized ad in the print directory and on the Sponsors page of the web site with a link to your web site, plus one reunion admission ticket; and two Gold Sponsorships for $1000 each (less than $10 per month!): a full-page ad in the print directory and on the Sponsors page with link AND your company name and link to your web site in the sidebar of WRHS1970.com–which appears on every page–and two reunion admission tickets. If your business is interested in either level of sponsorship, contact us at wrhs1970@gmail.com

It’s a Beautiful Day

July 17th, 2010

Friday evenings during the summer the city of Louisville has a street fair with music. Last night the featured artist was It’s a Beautiful Day. It had been a while since I thought about them, but I have their debut album, issued in 1969. The violinist and lead singer are still the original LaFlammes and they’re doing great 40 years later. You should have seen the gray-hairs dancing in their tie dye.

Do Facebook and Social Media Change Reunions?

July 13th, 2010

Do Facebook and social media change relationships?

That’s how Facebook changes the game at reunions.

Trust me, you would have been searching for many exits to that conversation with a long lost friend from a club you hardly remember being in. And, fundamentally, while there’s always the “look how I’m doing” motivation for going to reunions, that really can’t be all.

From Steve Ochsner:

I came across this article in the Colorado Magazine about The Astronauts and Tulagi in Boulder. There are some good pictures of Tulagi and the band in the article.
