What's New

Happy birthday

June 23: Fri/Sat events, Park Place times/dinner -

Well the number of folks attending More…our reunion continues to grow; as of yesterday we are now at 69 (no pun attended). We have been typically getting 3-4 additional names per week, so with +3 weeks to go the number may grow to around 80.

After talking with Dennis yesterday we will now say what the final planned events are:

1) on Friday evening July 16th there will be an informal gathering at Fall's Lounge (19335 Carlysle, near Outer Dr., our Nick Marano is the owner) starting at 7pm to ???.

2) on Saturday is our reunion dinner party at the Park Place (23400 Park St, off Outer Dr. near MI ave). The reunion will be from 6pm to midnight. Our pre-dinner reception (with open bar all evening) will be from 6-7:30, dinner from 7:30 to 8:30 followed by more fun, dancing, games and overall a great time. The bar will close at 11pm. The dinner will be a buffet style with entrees of baked white fish, roast round of beef and Chicken Park Place.

Note: some classmates suggested ideas for a Sunday event, but when we asked them to set it up we did not hear back.

Below is the latest list of folks coming on Saturday. To this list I have added an "*" next to your name if Vince has received your payment. I have noted (2) if you are bringing someone. Please check this list to make sure it's correct; if I let something out please email me and I'll correct it.

Dennis and I certainly hope you are all looking forward to a fun weekend catching up with old classmates, making new friendships and overall having a great time!

June 7: Wow up to 60 attendees, come win $$ also!! -

Wow, what a difference 10 More…days make on folks attending our July 17 reunion, as the list shows below we now have over 55 attending our reunion.

There is a change to the list below, it now shows if you indicated you want or have paid for 2 tickets (note the 2 next to your name). If this is incorrect for you just send me an email and we'll fix it (the payments go to Vince to keep things separate). If you have not paid yet please do so.

Hopefully to create more interest to attend or just plain have fun that night the Reunion Team has decided that after dinner and before the dancing/chatting or maybe having another cocktail we have going to a team trivia contest based on easy questions from our yearbook or Dearborn events in 1971. Teams winning a question will receive real/live cash! Stay tuned for more details.

So the team hopes we will more see more yes attending responses from this email, because as the saying goes "THE MORE THE MERRIER"!

Dennis, Vince and Larry

March 15 : 50th Class reunion Sat July 17 -

  More…    March 15 : Folks, we will be having our 50th class reunion this summer. The plan so far is to try and make it a 3 day event starting Friday evening July 16 and concluding on Sunday July 18.

The reason for the 3 day event is to hopefully make the reunion a trip worth making for those who currently live outside the Detroit area.

As the planning is in the early stages somethings we are trying to include is a welcome gathering at Fall’s Lounge on Friday evening, a possible walk around of EFHS Saturday morning, and the reunion dinner Saturday evening at the Park Place off Outer Drive on Park street.

For those coming in from out of town we looking into getting a nice hotel with a good group discount price for both Friday/Sat or just Saturday for those local and maybe wanting a night away.

If anyone has any additional ideas of weekend activities they would like to see, or you can arrange to help out with things like local transportation, arranging the EFHS tour, or other reunion activities the committee would love to hear from you. So far Allan Hagelthorn, Dennis Stevens, Vince Maltese and myself (Larry Duneske) are trying to pull things together.

We certainly hope many of can come to join in our reunion. As I said to Dennis this week “we only have one 50th reunion so let’s make it memorable for years to come!”

Classmates.com does allow an email address to be posted. So check our class website "Edselford1971.com” if you want to send or post info for the committee. Hopefully our "Edsel Ford Class of 1971" Facebook page will soon also post this same information.

Stay tuned.

See you in July!!

May 25, classmates attending grows, how about you! -

Good morning everyone, as More…the title says the list of folks coming to reunion continues to grow. Below is a list of the folks that have already said yes and those who have said maybe (we hope the maybe's turn into yes's).  Hopefully this list will grow asap so we can plan a good attendee number with the Park Place.

We used another emailing option with the prior email and we definately received back more responses; so we'll use that method again.

The reunion is less than 8 weeks away so if you said "attending" please send in your $50 using our paypal option on the home page or mail Vince Maltese your check. If you need any help with this or have any questions feel free to email or call Dennis or me.

We look forward to seeing/talking/reminiscing with you all on Sat July 17!

May 10 - Our reunion will be 7/17/21 -

May 10 - The Reunion is officially on More…for Saturday July 17, 2021! 

After the April 30 survey we did hear from more classmates on whether they are yes, maybe or not attending the reunion. So we have officially decided we will hold our 50th reunion this July. We'll be working with the Park Place to see what number can work for them; we will have a suitable fun location. We've also decided that if you cannot decide if you are attending now, you can buy a ticket later or decide to attend at the last minute.  

If you have not yet filled out the yes/maybe/no attending survey below we'd appreciate it if you would.

If you have any questions fell free to contact us Dennis Stevens (248-467-1848, dstevens2425@hotmail.com) or myself, (Larry Duneske, 630-624-1236, Larry.duneske@yahoo.com).

Take care.
