Friday, September 19th - BAY HIGH ROCKETS HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME

* 4:30 - 7:00 PM - Pre-game at Margaux Quayle Hamilton's casa. Margaux resides at 29801 West Oakland Road in Bay (right off Bassett Road.) In keeping with our theme, here's how it works. Bring your own dinner (grab a Subway, whatever works) and any "adult" beverage you want. Margaux will provide the paper/plastic set-ups along with ice, sodas, water, snacks, croquet and even music piped through the City of Bay Village's antiquated air raid siren system. Cost: a whopping $5 per person.

* 7:00 PM - Road trip (or walk over...it's close by) to our NEW Bay High Athletic Field

* 7:30 PM - Rockets vs. Firelands (No, we've never heard of them either, but who cares?)

* News Alert: as part of the Homecoming game festivities, the 1973 Cheerleaders,  Rockettes and Majorettes will be dressed in their original uniforms and out on the field performing at half time (just kidding). Trained paramedics will be on hand to perform CPR.

* 8:00 PM  - Closing - Post game (or during) get-together at the Ironwood Cafe, 688 Dover Center Road, Westlake. 

Saturday, September 20th - daytime on your own activities

* 9-10 AM - Hugely informal Golf Outing at Sweetbriar (750 Jaycox Rd, Avon Lake) Guys e-mail Ken Dechert, kendech@mchsi.com, Dolls e-mail Margaux Quayle Hamilton, margaux42@sbcglobal.net if interested.  We'll form foursomes and head out on a first come, first serve basis. Organize your own group or we'll match you up.  We will need a final headcount by August 15th.

* 11 AM - Walk-thru tour of our high school. Meet at the main/front entrance of the school. Tour leaders are Becky Obey and Shelley Wysong, who will tell fascinating stories of yesteryear including how they received all their after-school detentions and suspensions. E-mail kimflash@sbcglobal.net if interested, so she can nail down a general headcount.

Saturday, September 20th - Evening Main Event

* 6:00 PM - 12:01 AM...and now for the Main Event...Kim (Johnson) Flash and her husband, Mark, (in an obvious moment of temporary insanity) have invited our entire class to a backyard bash (cookout dinner from 6:30-*) at their new home. Wow, so how cool will that be?! Here's the deal:

    * Kim and Mark live at 563 Bradley Road in Bay (corner of Ashton Lane and Bradley)

    * Kim and Mark will be visiting relatives in Toledo and won't be home. They agreed to leave the back light on and the key under the front door for us....OK, just kidding

    * The game plan for now is to do an informal self serve dinner with a keg, wine, mixed drinks, soda and set-ups (feel free to BYOB if you're on a Red Bull or Tequila only diet)

    * The main feature...Nirvana will be making an appearance. Yep, you got it.

As you may or may not remember, Nirvana is our infamous high school band comprised of Hody Peters, Kenny Kresge, Mark Wysong, Jim Heinke, and Billy Bush. They will be playing their hits and may even allow Nirvana-Wannabes to grab the microphone and sing backup. OH MY, WILL THIS BE ENTERTAINING OR WHAT! This is bigger than Elvis coming back from the dead. The guys will be wearing earplugs and have their pacemakers fully charged for their own safety and well-being. 

    * If possible, bring lawn chairs, blankets and your flannel pajamas to enjoy the creek-side bonfire and dessert. When Nirvana smashes their guitars at the end of the concert, we will pitch them in the bonfire for added effect.

    * Bring new/old pics, yearbooks, arrest warrants, and Vince O'Donnell stories to share.

    * Cost for the evening: a whopping $20 per person; however, if you can't make the dinner from 6-8 pm, just roll by any time...remember, it's drop-in casual.
