40th Reunion Announcements mailed:  300 postcards destined for classmates to announce our reunion were mailed out in June.  We generally did not send postcards to our web site registrants or Class of 72 facebook participants.  Many classmate addresses could not be tracked as hard as we tried.   We have received 40 RTS postcards.  Runaway bears could be a problem!
