JUNE 18, 2020


Dear Classmates,

Our class has so much to celebrate!  Each one of us is truly blessed to be here to remember, reminisce and celebrate the day we graduated from our beloved high school, I.C. Norcom, with other classmates!

Above is a "Mark the Date" announcement for our graduation celebration.  In addition to marking the date,
  • Please download ZOOM app, by June 28, if you do not have it
  • Please have pencil and paper ready to play a "Class of 1970" Trivia Game
  • Please have a mocktail or cocktail or beverage of your choice for our toast  


Additional Class Info:
  • Classmate Albert "Hawk" Hawkins is back in the hospital.   He is at Sentara Leigh in Room 424.  Hawk had a surgical procedure on yesterday and follow-up today.  He said he is feeling and doing okay!
  • Classmate Sylvia Sallee's mother passed on Sunday.  I do not have Sylvia's mailing or email addresses.  However, I have sent her a text, expressing our condolences.       

Have a great GREYHOUND day!
Donna

COMMENTS FROM ZOOM PARTICIPANTS



Hello classmates. It was great seeing all of you on Zoom last night. It was also a lot of fun. Some of you I hadn’t seen since the 9th grade.  
Theresa I didn’t get a chance to ask how you and your family are doing. I’m glad to here that Hawkins is out if the hospital. Milvene you are still a lot of fun! 
Blessings to all of you, 
Rubenia Williams-Winston

We spanked our 50th reunion. We shared, heard, and heard voices that we hadn't heard or listened to in many years...what a true honor to us all...

So, is this what technology can do? Thanks to Ruby's initiative and Donna Darden continued commitments, we all came together as a 1970 Norcom team and did the dang thing on schedule. I drove my grandson in the front seat in his 2020 cap and gown with his coach and teachers cheering as we honked and cheered a different graduation day. Thanks again to Ruby's insights, we had ours too...
