One more item - this is from the Save the Redmen Facebook page.  I can't vouch for its accuracy but for those interested, you may want to check out this Facebook page.  If you live in the school district, watch for the postcard. If your mail is being forwarded because you're a snowbird, you may not have a lot of time to vote.

All registered voters in the MAPS School District will have an opportunity to vote to keep the Redmen name. Each voter will receive a post card via mail to the address they are registered to vote at. (The home address you listed with the Secretary of State) The post card will have a website you will go to and enter in your pin and complete the survey. They'll be mailed out on March 2, 2020 and registered voters will have about 2 weeks to go to the website and complete the survey. The voter roll has already been pulled. There's been some discussion regarding student voting, details still being discussed.

There will be two options:
1.) Keep nickname
2.) Get new nickname

  I know what you mean, Ron, I used to wear X- large, but, I did so little this winter I need 1 or 2-X. Yikes!!!  I ordered a vest to carry conceled in X- large  so the pistol won't make me feel lopsided and if I zip it up I can't breath....Holy waugh!!!  I got lots of walking to do this year!! Lol (Especially UPhill, I can roll downhill just fine.)

Ronald Raisanen

Maybe I should make that a 1X.

In the process of looking up addresses for snail mail notices for the reunion, I discovered that Shirley Jandron passed away last month.  She was born in 1947.  Does anyone know if this was our classmate?  Services were at St. Peter's.

Bob Lambert...maybe you need to go back to shoveling...give up that fancy tractor. LOL..just kidding..I know what fighting the battle of the bulge is like. Everyone in da U.P. seems to gain in the winter.

Pat Nevala...Shirley Jandron was in our class. She was at our 50th, but did not stay long as she was ill then. She was a very nice person..shy..quiet. She grew up on one of those side streets to the left @ the top of Lincoln Ave...close to my neighborhood on Bluff St. So sorry to learn of her passing. Thanks for the notification.

Marylyn Erickson (Lee)

 Happy day, Sue!     Hope to see you two and many more in July.  

Let’s all get those registration forms in asap so Pat can stop holding her breath!    She needs that information to finalize the reunion plans.  Thanks everyone.

  Hey all, thought you should know; Skip's partner, Sharon, had a heart attack Wednesday. She will be going through tests tomorrow. Skip says she is doing better, but, the doctors will try to find out what caused it. They think it may be the stint that was put in some years back. Skip said it may be leaking, but, they can't be sure until they do a cath. Keep them in our prayers, guys....and gals.

Patricia Nevala

Thanks for the update, Bob.  We will definitely keep a good thought.  We want to see both of them this summer.

Sandie Hanson (Laine)

For those of you who don't know...Skip's partner Sharon is our classmate Susie Lamere Jarrett's sister.               Healing thoughts & prayers for all involved.

Albert (Chuck) Langlois

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS MUCH APPRECIATED-----------------I brought Sharon home late yesterday afternoon. We Got Home around 5:30 pm she was feeling much better. Sunday the Doctors cleaned the stint they put in 10 years ago and had to lenghten it . It was plugged some and was leaking also. She was feeling pretty good Monday afternoon so they turned her over to ME--------------I told her that in a week or so Marine Corps Boot Camp starts around here and I already ordered her uniform and I'm the Drill instructor--LOL----Again Sharon and I want to thank You all for your Prayers----------

                                Skip & Sharon
