July 18-20 is the weekend of our gathering!  We hope to have a huge crowd and would be delighted if you could fit this into your busy summer schedule.  We have an incredible weekend planned for you!  Scroll down for details on each of the four events that we're hosting.

I have posted Chesterton-area hotels on the "Travelers" page.  We are specifically concerned about acommodating everyone who must travel to attend our reunion.  Don't hesitate to call members of the "Travelers' Concierge" (their numbers are listed on that page) or  ask questions via the "Contact Us" page if you need assistance with arrangements.

We plan to mail formal invitations to the the reunion in May.  If you have not visited the "Your Info" page and left your response there, please do so as soon as possible.  Also, if you have friends or siblings whom you do not see listed, please contact them in any way possible so that we may put them on the guest list.  This will be crucial to our planning in so many regards (tickets, catering, etc.), and we will not be able to accommodate last-minute registrants.  We really want everyone to attend, but the first step is to have everyone invited.  Thanks for your help!  I can't possibly do this alone.

Warmly,
Cassie Dommer Radabaugh
