Dear Classmate, Widow or Offspring of a Classmate:

Our 50th anniversary book is almost completed and will be going to a printer soon. With so many classmates participating, there is information on almost everyone. The book is loaded with memories. In addition to bios, you will enjoy reading our class legacy and the collection of sea, air, land and other professional and personal stories.

To contract with a printer we need to know how many books to order. So we ask you to place an order now. Our early purchase price is $ 35. Additional copies you order now for children and grandchildren are $ 20. These low prices reflect contributions already made by classmates to the book through individual and group tributes.

Your order should be placed by June 18. Books will be mailed the end of August to reach you before the reunion. This is a limited edition and so it is difficult to anticipate how many to have printed without having orders.

Only remainders will be sold at the reunion. To place your order, please fill out the enclosed form and mail with a check to Fifty Years Later, P.O. Box 23461, Alexandria, VA 22304.
