Yesterday Chris and I completed a mailing to 27 members of our Class of 1968. Each envelope contained a letter detailing a preliminary schedule of events and a wide range of activities that attendees might choose to do and included an informative tourist pamphlet for the Currituck Outer Banks and Mainland. We sent this mailing to those members of our class who will be attending this reunion, to those who've expressed interest in this or previous reunions, and to those who have attended past reunions, e.g., Colorado, California, and Dallas, TX.
Our class reunion on the Outer Banks of North Carolina is only four months away. As a reminder, the dates are October 19-23, 2016. A book of rooms is on hold at Hampton Inn and Suites, Corolla, NC. You must call this hotel (252-453-6565) before September 21 in order to reserve a room with our discounted group rate at this oceanfront property.
If you are reading this post and you have not received this current mailing from us, please call or email me.

CGTC Completes Circle of Globe
On Saturday evening, June 11, the Carolina Godiva Track Club finished its virtual race around the Globe. Beginning on January 1, 2016, over the span of 162 days, 72 runners eclipsed a total of 33,646.4 miles.
Personally, I enjoyed participating in this virtual race. Although I had been laid off from running for 6 or 7 weeks due to a couple health issues, I did complete 232.4 miles in the course of this race. This event kept my interest up. I was intrigued with each country that we were running through. This virtual event provided me motivation to continue to add my miles. I also enjoyed the online chat and encouragement. My competitiveness surfaced as I sought to run more miles on a given day in order to surpass the mileage of the runner ahead of me. This was fun!
I'm proud to add that my daughter Katie ran 830.4 miles during this period and finished in 13th place among all the runners.

Dahmus in Touch with Class of '66
On May 23, John Dahmus emailed me to say that he and Loretta attended "...John Boltz's fiftieth wedding anniversary this
past weekend in New Orleans. He was in the class of 1966. I
saw Matt Robins, Dan Mosca, and Steve Phelan there and had a
brief but enjoyable visit with all of them. John lives just a
few miles from us in Austin, and we have met together several
times over the last few months."
John said he learned that Dan Mosca lives in Brown Summit, just northeast of Greensboro, NC; John added that he informed Dan that I live in Chapel Hill. (Greensboro is only an hour's drive from Chapel Hill.)
Since John's email, Dan Mosca and I have been in contact with each other a couple times and we have expressed our intent to get together. I'm looking forward to that.
