held: August 3-5, 2012
Start Spreading the News!
The Empehi
Reunion Association was well into the planning of a reunion
for August 3-5, 2012. Based
upon the success of earlier reunions, we were planning a
casual Friday night event and a Saturday dinner.
The Reunion
Committee is looking for volunteers to organize small
group activities which might include a Sunday picnic, a
golf tournament, Navy Pier Crawl, Chicago River
architectural cruise, a trip to the Art Institute or a
White Sox game. Of course,
the ever popular Morgan Park High School tour is on the
agenda and grammar school get-togethers will need to be
planned by those groups, too.
Which of these interest you the most?
Please let us know –
especially if you would like to organize one of these
small group events.
Please get the word out to those who may not receive
this e-mail, or classmates from 1964 or 1968 who might
be interested in attending. Send them to the website to
sign in. This is a great time to reconnect with your old
classmates and let them know about the reunion. Hope to see you in Chicago
this August.

The
Parker High School Alumni Association Luncheon

The Parker High School Alumni Association hosted the 15th Annual
"After Fiftieth" Luncheon on Sunday, September 26, 2010, at the
Lexington House in Hickory Hills, Illinois, from noon until 4:00
pm. In mid-July, the invitation/reservation forms were
sent to the current mailing list of classmates who graduated in
1932 through 1959.
It was anticipated that there would be approximately 400 people
at this annual event. Beginning at noon, prior to the
luncheon, class photos were taken of the anniversary classes
from 1940, (70th); 1945 (65th); 1950 (60th); and 1955
(55th). In addition, all attendees from the 1930's decade
were photographed as well.
The cost for this event was $25.00 per person and each class was
be assigned a table or tables according to the number of
reservations received prior to the deadline date, September 10,
2010. There was a band to supply the listening pleasure of
old favorites and a short program, but basically, this was
viewed as an opportunity to see former classmates and enjoy the
camaraderie and remembrances of days past.

Chairman, Ed O'Farrell by phone (773) 779-3198 or by e-mail at eo9126@msn.com.

Kanoon
All Graduates Reunion
Monday, November 16, 2009
We had a reunion which was first to be a 25 year
reunion for all graduates from 1984 on, but the rest of us
wouldn't have it. There were only two more graduating
classes before this and all of us were included. So the
reunion was for all graduates that ever graduated from Kanoon
during its history.
A lot of students had been talking with each other on facebook,
and asked about their former teachers at Kanoon; several were
mentioned. I am aware that several have retired since I
graduated-as far as I know that is Ms. Patricia Williams, Ms.
Gretchen Mobley, and probably Mr. Joseph Rodriguez.
Gretchen Mobley taught before Kanoon school at Robert Burns
because I had her for 4th grade there.
