Fathers Day AND The First Day of Summer!!
For all our friends back in WI/IL and the WHS Classmates, here’s an email I sent seven years ago about today, THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! Please have one on me in our absence - we’ll be visiting a local beach here in CT or RI as well:

The first day of summer arrives on Friday, June 21 this year
kiddies and that now means something to anyone from the
Woodstock High School Class of 1985. As opposed to
having some “official” reunion every 10 years, why
not just agree to gather on a specific day and place? That day is
the first day of summer and the place is Fontana Beach on Lake
Geneva. Bring your beach chairs, frisbees, boats, water wings
and refreshments and get some sun on that old body of yours!
Do not expect name tags, bad cover bands of 80s music or any
other type of formal organization. Just show up and hang out at
the beach, Chucks, the Abbey or any of the surrounding
establishments. Run into old friends and enemies and buy them
a drink or two. Can’t make it this year? See you next year then;
same first day of summer and same place.
This does not in any way replace an “official” reunion someone
might try to organize. This is the unofficial and absolutely
informal reunion that no one will organize… or maybe even
recognize.
