Hope all is well. Please, take a moment to wish the following classmates a "Happy Birthday".

Hi All,

Come April, our web site will be up for renewal. It is hard to believe that we have been operating for two years.

We hope that many of you have enjoyed the services that the web site provides. You might look at our Mission Statement on the home page and give us feedback on whether we are providing the services that you would like to receive.

The expenses were heavy the first year; however, from now on the yearly expenses will be manageable and reasonable. If you would be interested in reading a letter to the Board regarding the web site and financial expenses, I will be happy to send it along.

If those mates enjoying the BPHS 1956 informational site would like to support our continuing efforts, (and you have not already done so) we joyfully will accept your modest contributions.

Bless Your Hearts,

Respectfully submitted, Sonia Easley

Please, send your contributions to:

Lynn is traveling around the country in his RV. Lynn and wife had a nice visit with Pat Atkinson and his wife. New information on Lynn:

Here is the web site for the three classes reunion this year. For those of us with computers, we can conduct all our transactions through this site.

Doris, welcome back to class. Doris is checking in from Huntington Beach, CA (714) 596-7197

Welcome Olga and Jack. We would like to have your birthdates and the birthdates of your spouses.

I think if any of us make it to the October (three class) reunion this year at the Ontario Airport, we might be able to decide what we want to do. September or October is my preference.

My suggestion is to have our reunion held close to Corona Del Mar, Newport or Huntington Beach sometime in the June/July time frame. Most if not all of us spent many a summer day and evening at one of those locations and I distinctly remember a great beach party during our final days as classmates. There are many nice hotels in the area that could accommodate our needs with additional lower price motels close by. I offer my time to research this if it is of an interest to the, "very young", class of 1956.

Two of our classmates have commented that we need to have our fiftieth (2006)1956 class reunion during good weather and not close to holidays, near a convenient airport and to keep it informal. What is your thinking?

We are still waiting for official announcement regarding the three year reunion scheduled this year in October. We will post information as soon as we get it.

From: Richard (Dick) Aguayo This is a bit on the impersonal way of doing this, but we need to let you know that we are really at home in El Paso now. At times we wondered if we'd ever actually do it.

In the end, in God's precious timing He seated us right here. We really need to let you know our address, etc.: Richard (Dick) Aguayo Neva Sears Aguayo Odie Aguayo 3600 Tierra Real Way El Paso, TX 79938 915 856-0112

This is a sad note to let you know that Janice Towne Swanson passed away on Christmas morning... John and family are doing well.

I will miss her very much.

From: Dan Waldorf Dan is checking in with a new location: Congratulations on your new home!

Please, help us keep our information up to date. We have noticed that many emails have returned undeliverable. Perhaps, your mail boxes are full; however many email address have not functioned for awhile. If you have a computer, email is a really great way to stay informed about classmates and up-coming events. There is a "Status Change" link you can click on from our front page of our web site. This changed information will go directly to my email and I will change to the new information. Thanks for keeping us notified of locational changes.

PLEASE, HELP US CELEBRATE THE FOLLOWING BIRTHDAYS. TAKE TIME TO CONTACT OUR CLASSMATES

Robert Kipp has informed us that Phyllis Hoke passed away. Our condolences to husband Kipp from the Class of BPHS 1956.
