Five weeks and counting! The class of '67 birthday party in the woods! The invites were mailed out last week. Let's hope the pony express gets the job done. All class members and friends are invited. We will have music provided by Artie's oldies and special appearance by "Harry Carey" We might have a musical guest ( our lawyers are talking to their lawyers). There will be food and drink (hops and barley and soda pop) Did I mention a excellent evening. Bring your lawnchairs and spend either the evening or the night. Camping is allowed and might be needed! Breakfast will be served.........................see ya there!!!!

I was referred to this site via our Class of '74 reunion notice. Great job, Randy, on putting this together. I haven't lived in Mendota for over 20 years but it's great to see the old pictures of the school and now the empty lot! It looks so empty not to see good old MHS there anymore! I will definitely check in from time to time.

I graduated in 1952. Our 50th reunion was in 2002 and was not able to make it because of breast cancer. Because of a great surgeon, I am cancer free after 22 months and hope to make it to my 55th. reunion. The graduates involved in the 50th reunion did such a great job and sent me a card, a video and received many calls. My four years at Mendota Township High School were wonderful. Thank you all.

Nice to see messages from some people I remember! I was married to Scott Pickert for 7 years. In 1991 met and married Brian Berg and moved to Minnesota. Brian died July 8, 2002. I moved here in 2003, work at a huge greenhouse operation, incharge of Perennials. Beautiful Area! I have 2 boys from my marriage to Scott, David and Bryan and 1 son from 2nd marriage, Nathan, he is 11 years old. I would like to hear from any of you that remember me! ww

Great web site to reconnect. Thanks for your hard work, Randy. I've been checking it periodically to see progress on the demo of old building.

It's hard to believe we will celebrating 20yrs at the Elks in 2005!

Take care everyone! May God bless.

Randy,
How nice to find this site. To see all the names of old friends and aquaintences(sp)and just plain fine people I have had the privilege to know over the years.

What a great job you have done. Keep up the good work.

For anyone that may be interested, I still have my Kindergarten through 5th grade class pictures with names from Northbrook. I beleive ours was the first class to go from K through 8th at the new school. If anyone from the school would be interested, I would be glad to donate copies for display to the school.

If you would like them for your site Randy just let me know. Quite a wild bunch we were.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES EVERYONE!

I am living and working on Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is located 1/2 way between Brazil and Africa and approximately 5500 miles south of Florida. I've been here for 2 years working for a contractor for the USAF. I am a system administrator for approximately 150 computers and 4-500 users. Was in the class of 1959.

This is GREAT! Excellent job on web site. I have been removed from the area for many years since high school, interesting to see some of the changes w/new school, etc...and even though I don't know who many are in the photos it was fun to recognize several immediately.

Thanks for the good work...lots of time and effort!

Folks I'd like to catch up with. Mendota will always be considered home. Thanks for the change to say hello to MHS friends, espcially the class of "71.

Love this site........you are doing a fabulous job. Remember sitting by you in chorus one year and having gym class with your sister -- where is she now?

Just think -- I used to get up late to go to high school. Now I would have to get up early and ride the bus. How disgusting..........guess Steve Beetz could walk there.

Nice idea and job, Randy.

Hey Randy.....

This could be a cool thing. Beats the hell out of the 30 clams a month sites. Can't wait to see some of 79 folks arrive. Maybe they can tell me what exactly I did there for 4 years...details are a bit skecthy on this end.

Probably too many afternoons on the porch at 1010....

Randy, Thank you so much for the great site! Will be using it to keep track of my classmates from the class of 1962. Also hope to find any Mendota Alumni in the Belleville, southern Illinois region, or those near San Franciso, where our two daughters live. I will try to get my brother Ron, class of 1961, to click onto your site and catch up with friends.

After reading what Pat Coffey said "With regrets to anyone who was offended by our actions during the Sweet Corn Festival." I feel I must abdicate my class of '68 position and join the class of '67 in the woods this summer....

What a GREAT site! Thanks so much for your hard work! I am a MHS grad of 1985 and am thrilled about the NEW school! Thanks for the photos! Sure hope they keep the old school and perhaps renovate for community to use.
Thanks again for the cool site for Mendota Alumni!

My bother I mean brother Jeff found this site somehow, and sent me our old 8th grade class picture. He then asked for $100.00 not to send it off to everybody I know. I really enjoyed looking at the class reunion photo's. 50th year old party ay, sounds interesting.

I have to agree with my brother Rod. In twelve years, the eight of us did cover alot of territory. It was a great place to go to high school.

With regrets to anyone who was offended by our actions during the Sweet Corn Festival..."Too bad..we had fun." It is not often that fifty plus year olds get to act like a bunch of silly kids but we did a damn fine job of doing that. We went through 1000 gallons on water in the fire truck and 400 water ballons...much to the thanks of some of the people sweltering in the 95+ heat. Brad Bradford! Your sissy Mary garden hose did not stand a chance against us. See you aal in five years...Maybe we will have a B-2 bomber water the entire parade route then!!!!!!!!!!!...Thats a neat thought!!!

Great place! Makes me proud to be related.

To catch up: I married Louie Miller (class of '65) in '95 so all my
dreams are pretty much fullfilled. I have 5 kids. They range from 23
yrs to 11. I still want to be a writer (this in Not a sample of my
work!) I had cancer twice but am ok right now. We live on top of a
hill near Wahoo Nebraska on ten acres. I am happy.

Ann, quit trying to talk me into going to that reunion! *impish grin*

It is nice to see so many I remember here! Cyberly speaking. skm

Hey Randy!
I remember when we were in Cub Scouts together you used to talk about
one day when we would all be able to communicate with each other by
typing words onto a screen connected to a box connected to a telephone
line and people all over the world could read it. I think you referred
to it as an "information super highway". Oh wait, that was Al Gore. He
was in Cub Scouts with us too, remember?

To everyone else in the Class of '72: I didn't pick up my diploma
there but you'll always be my class. See you at the reunion(s).

Hey All,
This is going to be great! Thanks Randy for starting it up! I hope
that everyone will get involved. I'll be back and add my URL and
Homepage title when I complete them. I wish I had some pictures to
contribute, but I don't.....sorry.....I must have lost them over the
years......moving, I guess, I really don't know. Anyway, I'll do some
checking with family and see what I can come up with. Diana
