The Iron Ridge Inn Restaurant is selected as the location for the 45th Reunion of the "Class of '62"

On Saturday, October 6, 2007, the 45th Reunion of the "Class of '62" will be held at

The Iron Ridge Inn Restaurant at 131 Main Street, Iron Ridge, Wisconsin.

(We've had our last two reunions there and find them to be reasonably-priced and very accommodating.)

Gathering times, costs and "pre-reunion," optional events for the Friday afternoon Homecoming Parade & Friday evening Homecoming Game are being worked out by the reunion committee.

Check out the restaurant and next door motel by clicking on their web site address--

www.ironridgeinn.com .

Motel reservations for one of their 18 standard rooms is $65. and for one of their two whirlpool rooms is $79. (Call 920-387-4090 or toll-free at 877-387-4090 for reservations.)

Just like in the real estate business--- it's LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

One of our reunion committee members was so worried about not being able to get the location of our choice for the 45th Reunion of the "Class of '62" that a special "email meeting" was requested.

(It wasn't just paranoia, since we had to change the date of our 2002 reunion due to late booking. Plus, the homecoming weekend might be a popular time for other reunions, like the Class of '57's 50th reunion on October 13th of this year.)

So, committee members were kind enough to humor the concerned member and held a virtual meeting that gave information about various facilities, menus and locations with a request to select the best available place.

AND THE WINNER for the location of the 45th Reunion of the "Class of '62" IS:

The Iron Ridge Inn Restaurant, Iron Ridge, Wisconsin.

See additional blog postings for more information about this location.

Let The Countdown Begin!

Next fall's Hartford Union High School HOMECOMING is scheduled for Friday, October 5, 2007.

So, that puts our 45th Reunion of the "Class of '62" on Saturday, October 6, 2007.

That's a mere 265 days away! (You better start laying out your wardrobe & polishing your dancing shoes.)

"Thousands Attend 45th Reunion Committee Meeting!"

Well, maybe closer to 13 classmates & spouses--- more reminiscent of The Last Supper than the mob scene on the left, we suppose. (See more accurate photos below.)

Seeing as how there were only around 176 classmates in our "Class of '62," maybe the headline & photo would have to be considered slightly exaggerated.

However, we were impressed with the size of the turnout of 13 "live bodies" which should be an indication that we'll have enough committee members to "share the load" of putting together an enjoyable 45th Reunion of Hartford Union High School's "Class of '62" (but we can always use more help).

Here are some of the items discussed:

1- reunion date moved from tentative Sunday before Labor Day to the Saturday after the Friday of Hartford Union High School's Homecoming due to concern for established Labor Day Weekend commitments,

2- Friday's actual Homecoming events will be optional and a gathering point can be noted,

3- timeline under consideration: 5:00 social, 6:30 meal, 8:00 brief program, 9:00 continue socializing, disperse at individual preference,

4- "background" music provided by Mr. Rudersdorf,

5-cost of $26 per person and $7 for remembrance booklet only is under consideration,

6- locations under consideration include, but are not limited to: Hartford Country Club, The Iron Ridge Inn, The New Fox & Hounds.

7- making corrections to database of classmates' address/phone/email important task for all,

8- table "sponsorship/advertisement" to be explored,

9- invitation letter & classmate questionnaire, along with mailing dates & phone contact dates to be discussed at next meeting.

Next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, March 10, 2007, at high noon, at "The Movie House Grill" (the former Sario's Restaurant), west of Jackson, on the northwest corner of the intersection of Highways 60 & 45. Hope to see you there!

First 45th Reunion Committee Meeting

(It just looks like we're eating, drinking, visiting and having fun.)
(Some actual planning did take place.)

"Just between you & me..."

We are actually very glad our "professional reunion planners," Derek, Deiter & Wendy, can't make it to our
first meeting of the 45th Reunion Committee on Saturday, January 13, 2007, at high noon, at the Charcoal Grill in West Bend.

Derek & Wendy have this drinking contest with "rum & cokes" versus "tap beers." And Deiter says he's the official judge, but he just eggs them on until they both get obnoxious or sick or both.

Please join us (even if it's without the "professional help" of those three) at West Bend's Charcoal Grill at noon this coming Saturday, the 13th, and help us develop the 45th Reunion of the "Class of '62" of Hartford Union High School (and please leave your own drinking contests at home). Thanks.
