Wheat Ridge High School Class of 1970

November 24th, 2009


Remember Me?

The reonion committee encourages all classmates to register on this site and to keep their profile up to date.

We also ask everyone who took pictures during the recent 40th reunion to send those to us at wrhs1970 at gmail.com so we can add them to the photo albums.

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 next reunion or this web site. Please contact them and encourage them to register here. And if you know of classmates who are deceased, please send us their names and any information you have.

Photos from the 40th reunion are available to classmates who have registered.

Register Now!

Whether or not you attended 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 the next reunion.

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 next 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 next 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

A word about the Canadian oilsands

August 1st, 2010

Ok – some ducks drowned in a tailing pond. Ok – we cut down a lot of trees and dig big holes in the ground.  But we refill those holes, and we replant those trees, and in the meantime produce 1-2 million barrels a day of heavy oil most of which is exported to the US. It’s not dirty oil, it’s heavy oil, more like asphalt and it needs to be hydrogenated (upgraded) to become light oil and this is mostly done in US refineries. We buy most of our steel, pumps, boilers and other heat exchangers, electrical cable and instrumentation for these projects from the US.

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.

Remember “The Astronauts”?

July 3rd, 2010

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.

High School Reunion – the view at 10 years in 2010

June 18th, 2010

Saw this post from the daughter of a high-school buddy of mine (different high school), and thought some of you might enjoy it. Of course, this is OUR 40th reonion, so we are all much more relaxed these days…. Correct?
