Great Pics. Sorry I missed it. I had planned on coming initially, but the pandemonium got the better of me. I was thinking of memories to share when I saw you all, but I guess I will have to do it here. I moved into Redford late summer of 9th grade, quite a shock. Couldn't get the classes I wanted and ended up in typing. Got to class early but the last row had 2 redheads and a cute brunette (Vicky, Judy and Shannon). Very distracting especially after the first ski trip(thank you Mr Phillippi) of the season (An amazing number of injuries as I recall) and Vicki ended up in a cast. So they giggled into class late and out early. Memories of RU  Mr Liddell(sp) the math teacher who would get lost in thought and lean back against the chalk board and then turn around with math on his back. There was a day in our senior year when he was gone unexpectedly and the office sent this sub who was barely older than us. We ignored her and the noise in the room got louder until someone threw a chalk eraser to the front of the room. When it hit the wall, she burst into tears and ran from the room. Mr Barton showed up a few minutes later, shook his and we all sat quietly. Mickey Gilhool was just back from the peace corps. A few of us would sing quietly and then one day he encouraged us: MIC KEY LOUSE. We all got detention. Unfortunately for him his classroom was right next to the main entrance which was full of busses and kids. When he left the room, we opened the windows and sang our hearts out. Listening to the Tigers in the world series on the intercom. Doing the lights for the senior play and then the synchronized swimmers. Intermural basketball got me a picture in the yearbook. Ski club trip to Sugarloaf when it was so cold the second day we hung out in the lodge. Lots more memories. Sorry I missed you all. One last thing, I want to thank the 12 people who told me they voted for me for senior class VP and the 6 who actually did.    

Found out about this website from another alumnis Rick Smith. Hello to everyone and hope to make the 50th Reunion.

I just found this site. It\'s great to see the pictures of everyone back then.

hi.  So sorry to hear about all the people we have lost.  Now living in NC.  

Hi all,
     I grew up there in Redford went to Pearson Jr. Hs. Only went 1 yr. at Redford Union HS. I moved to Virginia did not get to graduate with all my friends I grew up with, I sure wish I could of.  I ended up going to two other High Schools as we moved around. I have kept in touch with some classmates on Fb which has been great!  Love the website & I know a lot of time was put into preparing it. Thanks for all the memories as I have looked back at the pictures & videos. Love all of you! Great Class of  1970

Great web site Chuck.Really enjoy checking in from time to time.Had a great time at the reunion at Lola Valley 2-1/2 years ago already. Looking forward to the next one.

I am so glad I found this site. Thanks so much. The music is a great touch--and brings back memories--marching as a majorette to the RU school song. Like Paul Hayden's band playing at our dances--and so sad to his passing and so many others--some who I went to elementary school with as well as junior high and high school (Larry Reed). The IN MEMORY page really touched me. I have not been to the last reunions because I did not know about them. I really enjoyed the ones I attended, and would like to attend more. Love the song...Don't You Ever Listen To The Radio..talking about heavy music...that you have on. Makes me remember some really fun times back in the 70's! Nancy 

Just came across this site, thanks Charlie!  I\'ve been living in Cape Canaveral, Fl since 1978. If so inclined please listen to It\'s All the Blues on Friday nights 7-10 p.m. @ wfit.org and please let me know about the next land lubbers reunion.

This is the only site worth viewing.  So much better than the incomplete classmates.com.  You have done well giving us a great way to connect and I thank you for that. 

Thanks Charlie, Retired in 2008(Postmaster, Birmingham Mi) 37 years in the federal government was fun but now everyday is a Saturday looking forward to reconnecting with all of the friends from the past. Thanks again.

Yes I\'m one of those women with a couple last names Glad to know about this page!!!!

Charlie, Thanks for adding the "For Our Troops" page. I\'m making sure all of my friends check it out.

Semper Fi,
Capt. Robert J. "Jeff" Taylor Jr. - USMC

This is a wonderful website....thanks Charlie!  So great to remember our days together at RU High.  I look forward to connecting with more of you.  Happy and living in Traverse City, MI. Three children, three step-children and one grandson. 

Great job Charlie!   It is nice to see and read about old friends!

Great website.  Altho, we moved out of the district before my senior year, I considered Redford the place that I grew up.  We were in the school district for 7 years (my grades 3 thru 10).  Went to Bulman Elementary, Lola Valley Jr. and my soph year at RU.  I recognize a lot of the names on this website....even after all these years. 

It was great to find this website and refresh my memory of the classmates who were part of my life while attending Redford Union high School !

It was great seeing everyone at the Land Lovers Reunion.  I was involved with some planning and would do it again in a heartbeat.  I did have the opportunity to go to Jim Draffens yearly get together and WOW, what a great time.  There were people from class of 69 and 70 there.  Jim has invited us to party with them anytime and even have our 60 party there.  His facility is fantastic and perfect for any weather, as we can party inside or out.  It is something to consider. Thanks Jim, we all had a wonderful time. 

 The plans for the next reunion sounds fun, but not everyone has the resourses or desire to spend the money for a destination trip, but we did have a lot of fun getting together in our old stomping grounds. I think there should be options, without hurt feelings.

When will be the next reunion and where?  I live in Texas now.  Thanks, Sandy

Hey Cruisers,
Only 38 days left, are YOU ready! Don\'t forget your fun pass, 7 pages last page is your luggage tag.  Credit card, passport, money (singles) for tipping, sunglasses, hat & sun tan lotion(3 0z. if taking it on a plane) Ready for FUNShip tag your it.

It was a great party July 10th, so many people, we had a hot time in the park, the committee did a bang up job...60 would be great, thanks guys. 

Wow a lot of planning and hard work went into this reunion "Picnic in the Park".  So glad I was a part of it and it is over now I can look forward to the cruise.  It was so great to see Sooo many clasmates.  Sorry it was hot but that\'s one thing we can\'t control is the weather.  Hope everyone enjoyed it.  Would like to see a lot of comments from others that were there.  Some have mentioned  meeting again in two years fo r our 60th birthday party.  That woukd be  a  great time to plan for an Alaskan Cruise.  We would have time to save for it so we could have more people able to come.  Lets make it a longer cruise and in the summer when more people can take their "summer vacation".  I will not be on another planning  committee.  So some one get a group to gether and plan something for our 60TH and get the word out fast so more classmates can attend.  Thanks, Cathy Moore

Hard to believe I never checked out this website before...Carol Palmer just found me and invited me to July 10 reunion (my 1st).
40 yrs really??  Look forward to seeing some old (literally) faces...lol  Sooo sad to hear about Larry Parks and others. Would like to see Karen Schmeichel and Tim Oliver from the "good old days"!

I am so looking forward to the picnic on Saturday.  Hope to see a lot of people that I haven\'t seen in so many years.  Thanks so much for starting this website Charlie.  I appreciate the time and effort you have put into this.  You have done a great job. 

 Sorry we will miss it. We have a wedding to attend. Hope to see you next year?

Thank-you Charlie for this great web site! I hope to see some of you at the July 10th Reunion Picnic. 

It was fun last weekend at our mini reunion.  Several of us from the class of \'70 were there.  We are going to do something this summer and I\'m going to learn how to do a mass email on our website so we can contact as many as possible!  I hadn\'t been to one reunion and now I\'m so glad that I have.  We all grew up together.  Even if we didn\'t hang together, we were in the same classes, the same schools and saw each other all of the time!  We bonded a long time ago!

Married to Rick  have 2 sons 2 beautiful daughters-in-law and 3 grandchildren. We live in Howell.

It was great to have a mini reunion last night.  If we could all just find one or two classmates that we have\'nt seen for the next time.  We would like to get together in the sunner maybe have a potluck.  Keep it cheap so everyone can afford to come.  Lets keep spreading the word it\'s not too late to go on the cruise, so come on sign up.  I live in Roseville, MI.

Married Rich Craggs class of 1969. We have been married for 40 years now. We have 3 children and 11 grandchildren,and we live in Brooklyn, Mi.

IN TENNESSEE. 2 SONS IN IRAQ. I DAUGHTER IN TN NAT.GUARD. LONG TIME LOST. FOUND SOME GOOD MEMORIES RIGHT HERE.THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO REMEMBER.

This website sure brings back some great memories. 

I loved looking at all the "old" photos! What a trip down memory lane! I graduated in 72 and my husband Don (Donnie) Klemmer graduated in 70. My brother is Craig Buchanan (if anyone remembers the rebel (69). I would love to hear from people in my class! Diane

Stumbled upon your class site,  Great job !!!  My class (1969) decided on having an "open reunion" inviting classes on either side by three years.  It's at a ranch in Howell and very much a casual outdoor affair with live music in September.  It is really cool to read about what is going on with the class of '70.

Hi again Chuck!  This website is awesome!  Thanks for setting it up.  It's really nice to see pictures of all my classmates.  Thanks for including me.  I did graduate in 71, but up through 11th grade I was iin the class of 70.  It took me a little longer to graduate.  Just want to say Hi to everyone that visits this site.  I miss the good ole days!

It good to have Charlie set this site up. Soooo much time has passed, don't know where it went. I do, but Oh Well

Quite a momumental undertaking Chuck!  Thanks for setting up this site!  Good to see old friends and classmates here!
