Past
Reunions:
[June 13, 2014]
On Friday [June 20, 2014], we want to first meet at the upstairs room
at Local (former Yosemite Sam’s)
If you haven’t been to the Square in a while, you will be pleasantly
surprised at how it looks and the activity.
Go to: www.overtonsquare.com to learn more.
We will start gathering at 5:30 and sometime around 7:00 we can order
food at Local or go to Friday’s (Babalu) or Bombay (Bosco’s)
Saturday we will meet at 6:30 at the Rendezvous for dinner in a private
dining room downstairs, then migrate to the Peabody lobby.
Please reply and let us know if you will be attending so we can give
Local and the Rendezvous a “head’s up.”

The 45th Reunion of the East High class of 1969 will be June 20 &
21, 2014 in Memphis.
Friday June 20- A Nostalgic Bar Hop at Overton Square. If you
haven’t seen The Square lately, you are in for a treat! The plan is to
simply congregate in Bosco’s (formerly Bombay Bicycle Club), Babalou
(formerly TGI Fridays) and Local, (formerly Yosemite Sam’s) All three
have great food and Local has a second floor room with couches; a
really great place to gather and visit.
Saturday, June 21- Dinner at the Rendezvous. We have a private
room downtown stairs. Just go to the front desk and tell them you are
with the reunion. Following dinner, we will migrate to the
Peabody Lobby and monopolize as many couches and chairs as we can.
Another great place to visit!
Both evenings will begin around 5:30. The reunion organizers are not
charging any upfront deposits. Each person will be responsible
for their own ‘tab’ at each establishment. You will also need to
make your own overnight accommodations. Please feel free to pass along this
invitation to other]s in our class.
We ask that you let us know if you will be
joining us! [contact Kathy Wilkins at

A reunion planning meeting was held Sat Nov 22 at East High School. Mr McRae, the interim Principal was very hospitable and opened the office for a 'tour'. Some of us, not all of us, remembered the area behind the closed doors of the front office...namely the principal's office. Then into the Library where the weekly tutoring sessions were going on through the Greater East High Foundation. There we found Mrs. Margaret Taylor (at 91 years young) still teaching. She was delighted to see the 7 of us and promised to attend the reunion.
The main focus right now is contacting all our classmates. Lists were divided at an Aug meeting and redivided and subdivided today. Please email your contact information (and anyone you might know) to easthigh69@gmail.com and someone will be in touch by phone or email.
The reunion dates are June 12, 13, 2009. Fri night will be at John Reed's house with food, BYOB, and our own original 'Garage Band' from high school. Sat morning will be a school tour and then lunch at the Krystal. Sat evening will be dinner at Owen Brennan's Restaurant, more food, more music, and more classmates to visit. If you haven't had enough, there will be an 'after hours' location for an extended party. There will be details to all these events in the coming months.
For those who will be traveling from outside Memphis and no longer have family members here, there are optional accommodations. There is a Hampton Inn and an Embassy Suites on Shady Grove close to the intersection of Poplar and within walking distance to Owen Brennan's. As well as some local classmates are offering their guest rooms. Again, more details later.
Classmates from '68 and '70 are welcome to attend the reunion as well as graduates from other schools who also attended East. The committee will need contact information for these people are and of course how many.
We're looking forward to a fun reunion weekend.
