Can You Help?

All,

The dust has settled after updating the email addresses we have on file for Crocker Alumni. We need to update the addresses for those that bounced, and we need to add folks who are not yet on the list. Below are two lists – folks for whom we have a working address and folks whose addresses no longer work. Here’s what we need you to do:

1. Contact any Crocker Alumni you know who are not on the list and see if they would like to be added. If so, send me their name and email address using this link.

2. If you have contact information for someone on the bounced email list, let me know the same way.

If someone doesn’t have email, their telephone number would work. Naturally, this will not be shared with anyone.

Thanks,

Don

2011 Reunion Lunch

Hello Everybody,

As promised, we held our annual reunion earlier this month. For whatever reason(s), attendance was lighter than usual, with even some of the "regulars" failing to make an appearance. However, this did make conversation easier, as people were more free to move about the table. Below are the pictures:

Until Next Time,
Don

P.S. - Administrivia: The email list is in the process of being updated. We will soon publish the names currently on the list and the also names for whom the email now bounces. We need your help to find the correct addresses for those, as well as to add any other Crocker Alumni you may know (get their permission first, of course).

Annual Get-Together - 2010

This was a relatively quiet year - so many folks have moved away or were otherwise engaged. Still, this small but intrepid group managed to convene yet once more to enjoy each other's company. Here's photographic proof:

Reunion Pictures Galore!

Hello Folks,

Since no additional vintage pictures have come to light, I thought I'd make a massive post of vintage Crockerites instead. Here are pictures from the last six reunions. You can have fun watching everyone get older and older! I also still have a whole bunch more of Crocker marketing items and ephemera, which I plan to photo, scan, and post.

Take Care,

Don

Pool Party! Party Party! (And more memorabilia)

Hi Gang,

Well, this is the first attempt a publishing with you all listed as subscribers, so I'm not sure what the results will be. Please forward what you get to me at dehalley@yahoo.com or post a comment on the blog site if anything weird transpires. All things being equal, I'd expect you to get a copy of the posting, along with a link to the site. (As usual, if you need assistance is getting anything you have posted, just give me a holler.)

Thanks,

Don

First up is some more fine photos from Sue, followed by more from my collection.
