Dick Bartelt ‘65 has agreed to host our 4th "official" Frankfurt High School Reunion. This crazy and fun journey started way back in 1983 when Gary Sams ‘65 sent out a few letters saying he had always wanted a high school reunion. Two years of hard work and nearly seventy of us from the classes of ‘64 -’67 showed up in downtown Chicago. Judy Dowty ‘66, Terri Brock ‘66 and I were sure we would recognize no one. As we first entered the hotel lobby our strategy was to quietly whisper "Frankfurt High" to anyone appearing to be in their thirties. Bruce Hinkle ‘66, with a quick snap of the neck, confirmed our method. Every five years since then it has been "Back to Chicago" where Dick and Kathy Bates Johnson ‘66 have hosted a great weekend. In the years in between some of us have managed to see each other every summer at our "unofficial" reunions but mandatory business meetings. Kind class members from all over the country have hosted from Nashville to San Antonio, Seattle to Charleston, St. Louis to Baltimore. We’ve covered the USA hoping we would pick up even more alumni with each new location. This past summer Jan Surkin ‘65 was the gracious hostess in a beautiful, sunshine-filled San Diego. Carol Fraser ‘63; Carol Cosentino, Leslie McDonald, and Signe Indvik ‘64; Don Becker and Eric Wolfe ‘65; and Mrs.Betty Latenser, mom of Mary Jean ‘66 and Petie ‘67 were all first timers. Everyone is welcome to join Dick this summer, June 23 - 25 at the Holiday Inn City Center, Chicago. Terry Brennan, Bob Begg, Marti Farley & Bob McGregor ‘65ers; Kathy Bates, Judy Dowty, Lorraine Burch ‘66ers; and Marcia Morrison ‘63 have written they’ll be there. Alaeldin Rachid ‘66 is hoping to come, his brother Ihsan ‘65 who lives in Qatar has written he’s flying in. Now that we’re all in our fifties, you’d think you would take the initiative and show up...so, click here to bring up the mail-in registration form! FAHSAA Prez

Registration form (print and mail)
Way back in the beginning, the classes from ‘63 to whatever were always welcome at our reunions and business meetings. After we grew and grew, the "kids" from ‘67-‘71 formed their own group. They recently asked permission to join us in Chicago this coming summer. It was given gladly. The youngsters will be staying in the same hotel, the Holiday Inn City Center. We will have separate hospitality suites for the two groups, but everyone is welcome to stop by either one, any time. At this point we will have a combined cocktail, cash bar event before the traditional dances on Saturday night. As the evening continues, it is almost certain that the groups may be merging to rock ‘n’ roll.
Our man in Chicago, Dick Bartelt ‘65, has been kind enough to front all down payments for this year’s Chicago Reunion. Dick has put down about $3,000 of his own money because this popular city is looking to be booked big time in this millennium year and would not even talk to us without large down payments. So, if you know you are coming, please go ahead and send in your registration and help Dick out. That’s the reason we suggest on the accompanying registration form that you make your checks payable to Dick. Annual dues may be included in the one check. All will be happy to know our treasurer, Alice, will be getting monthly records and dues checks from Dick. If you aren’t able to come to the reunion, or are unsure at this time, please send your separate dues of $30 to Alice A. Malton (see address on front page).
If you need financial assistance with your hotel, registration or events at a five-year reunion and have not had assistance in the past five years, please contact Alice Malton for a confidential helping hand. It’s for the asking.
Greetings from sunny Southern California. I had the pleasure of hosting the annual business meeting "reunion" this year. We met at the Embassy Suites in downtown San Diego, June 24-27. Here, in alphabetical order by last name while a student at Frankfurt, are the attendees (# means first timer, * means first in a while).

Passings: David Eitelbach ‘65; Christy, daughter of Judy Kellond Bader ‘66; Jennifer, daughter of Natalie Steele Armstrong ‘65; Mrs. Atkinson, mother of Alice Atkinson Malton ‘66.Besides having lots of fun visiting, drinking, dining, dancing, and shopping, we also conducted business. Here are the minutes of the business meeting held Saturday morning. Janet Surkin HeidornNewlyweds among us: Don Becker to Peggy Peté, both ‘65 classmates. Mike Major ‘67 was contacted by Mimi Venn ‘66 after reading that he had attended the reunion in Baltimore. That led to yet another knot tying. Terry Brennan '65 and Linda Squiteri '64 were also married this past year. Congratulations to all!
Bill Leftwich ‘65 is busy building twin-engine experimental aircraft for the overseas market.
Phyllis Bergman ‘66 couldn’t attend because she was in Africa in the Masai Mara Game Reserve doing animal research and health care.
Brian Woodruff ‘65, now married to Jane, has a four-year-old son, Kiver.
Danny Tomberlin ‘65 has opened Tomberlin Designs in Florida.
Craig Broome ‘65 is still in emergency medicine and enjoys boating and playing tennis and hopes to see all in Chicago.
Marcia Morrison ‘63 lives in western New York where she’s the Director of Fine and Performing Arts at a Community College. She’s hoping other ‘63ers will be in Chicago.
Betty Nicholas, esteemed FHS faculty member, retired from Department of Defense schools on December 16. Congratulations!
Old Business:
At this past business meeting, Steve Downs ‘65 proposed a $250 decade dues membership resulting in one free year. The first to take advantage of this incredible opportunity was Sharon Humphrey Campbell ‘66. Sharon has also helped us to boost our coffers. We felt we had to increase our annual dues for the first time in fifteen years to defray costs of this organization. If you enjoy getting this newsletter and checking out the updated roster, please support us by giving annual dues of $30. Thanks in advance.
Been looking for prestige, something to do in your spare time, a bit of travel and much, much glamour in the new millennium? Here’s your golden opportunity! All officer positions will be up for grabs this coming summer at the Y2K business meeting in Chicago. Even better: all positions are for a five-year reign. Please think seriously about becoming an integral part of FAHSAA.
So far, Gary Sams ‘65, Virginia Search Chessnoe ‘64 and Susan Milstead Murphy ‘66 have held the leadership helm as presidents. Sue Harlan Alley ’65, past treasurer, secretary and newsletter editor, Al Willett ‘65 and Donna Sill Willett ‘66, past co-treasurers, Hal Corbin ‘65, our pro bono lawyer, and all current officers have given much time and effort to this cause. Please feel free to contact any of us about our roles. One requirement is being able to attend annual business meetings. SMM, Prez
For nearly nine months, my spouse and I traveled cross-country, Idaho to Florida, north to south, trying to decide where to hang our hats. Virginia won out. We purchased a cell phone to keep in touch, we had no house. Lynn Plunkett ‘66 called to say she found FHS on the Internet. When pressed for anyone else, she came up with a set of twins: Mike and Joe Vinci, ‘66ers living in central Florida.
A few weeks after I moved to Richmond this past summer, I was hired to do a location scout for a TV commercial. An acquaintance suggested I see Jane Sisson’s backyard. I had been taking photos for about 15 minutes and started to leave. Jane asked where I was from. I gave my standard "everywhere." "Where is everywhere?" she queried. I lived in Germany. "Me too." I went to school there. "Me too." I attended Frankfurt High. "Me too." I graduated in 1966. "Me too." Jane Price ‘66 was standing before me! And very good news as well: her twin brother, Rick Price, was not deceased as reported but also living in VA. Recently I received a letter from John Sandidge ‘66. He had called Idaho, tried our cell #, both had recently been disconnected. He then wrote to my brother-in- law, an address we had used for business. His sister had seen that the organization "Over Seas Brats" was having a reunion this past summer in Dallas. John attended. Allen Macklin ‘65, our webmeister, saw his name posted on a roster: one more Hanauer and fellow alumni found! Bill Kellond ‘65 ran into Mr. Otis Halliday, FHS math teacher and coach, at a church service where Bill’s wife is the senior minister at a church in Houston. Otis and his wife live in CA and were visiting mutual friends when one thing led to another. Dick Bartelt recently had a drink with newly found John Robinson ‘65. We’re everywhere. SMM

This past summer, attendees voted that no future FAHSAA monies will support the annual business meetings. They must be self-sustaining. Our dues will pay only for newsletters, rosters, and expenses incurred to run the alumni association. Rosters will be mailed only every five years, all new "finds" will receive one ASAP as well as the latest newsletter. The roster can be viewed and downloaded from http://www.oocities.org/fhs63-66. Or to buy hardcopy for the cost of printing and postage, contact AllenMacklin. Alice A. Malton, Treasurer
Frank McHugh ‘63 has actually put senior pictures from our yearbooks on the Internet! Just check out his work at http://www.oocities.org/Athens/Thebes/1843. Trina Ball also has some of the classes on her website at http://www.oocities.org/Wellesley/1659/F.A.H.S.html. Pretty amazing! So, if you’ve misplaced your Focus, you’re in luck. To visit a really fun FHS web site created by the ‘67-’71 group, link to address http://www.frankfurthigh.com/.
Lorraine Burch ‘66, our co-editor, has been wrestling with MS for a number of years. I talked with her just after Thanksgiving, and she has had some rough times this past year, but was doing quite well that day. In the meantime, Jerry Ulbricht '66 and Allen Macklin '65 have helped with this issue. Jerry is our publisher/mailer and Allen takes care of the web version. This issue, with correct or completely falsified info, has been typed by me. SMM
Send Allen Macklin (see p. 1, macklin@pmel.noaa.gov) your e-mail address if it isn't already on the roster. Allen has found more than 100 new or rediscovered alumni this year, many from other web sites. Maybe you'll find some friends among them. Here is the list through December 13, 1999:
