Hey 89ers! Are we gettin' older, or just better??? REUNION TIME!


Hafa Adai and Tirow Fellow MHS 89ers!!! Can you believe it? It's been almost 20 years since we donned our blue graduation gowns and received our high school diplomas. We were so close back then, and I know, deep down inside, we still are...

But before we go down Nostalgia Lane, let's get on with our first blog topic -- REUNION! We're planning our MHS Class of 89 20th Year Reunion and we want to hear from you. I'll be keeping you posted on our first planned meeting, and I want you to give us your input. You may not be on island, but your voice will be heard.

I would like to post pics of all of us on this MHS 89 blog, including a briefing on where you are at, what you've been doing and what you are currently doing, how many kids you have, and your favorite memory of the MHS Class of 89. I want to hear from you!

Please feel free to click on the "comments" section below and share with all of us what's going on with you. I will start off with the first one. You can also e-mail me some pics and your info at edpropst@gmail.com.

Let's go 89!!! Take care and God bless!

Regards,
Ed Propst
MHS Class of 89 Vice-president / former mullet head

Sorry I missed the first meeting...when's the next one???

Thank you guys for the initiation. The biggest challenge in life is taking that first step which you guys have undertaken for all of mhs 89's... To showcase my admiration, I'll jump off suicide cliff naked and headfirst (like a dolphin) for the efforts you've taken thus far. To describe the efforts, awesome is the word and rock on is the dictum.

I trust that the plans you guys make on our behalf will benefit us all. Heck! I'm already in agreement to the plans made especially re: attire for that day b/c I'm on the verge of financial embarrassment hence wearing grass skirts would be ideal.

Enuf said. I'm volunteering Geradine's place for the next party... I mean meeting.
