40th Earl Wooster High School Re-Union in Reno, Nevada.

[Taltarzac725]

I have been talking via Facebook with some members of my Class of 1976 Earl Wooster High School Class from Reno, Nevada.

The 40th Re-Union is this July in Reno, Nevada.

How many of you went to your 40th and what were your experiences?

This one would be quite strange for me if I go. My late younger brother Chuck had a fling back in the early 1980s and never told us about it becoming serious. About a year ago we learned that Chuck had had a baby with a woman back then and that woman came looking for her biological father in 2015.

So I have a whole branch of the family I never knew about until last year. Still have not met them but they are in Reno, Nevada.

Then there is the 224 613 Project which has its roots in my desire to help the Earl Wooster High School Class of 1976 and 1977 deal with the 2-24-1976 murder of Michelle Mitchell which has been in the news in Reno, Nevada over the past year or so as well. And I have been sharing my struggle with empowering survivors/victims of crimes with a few thousand people on Facebook some of these from the Earl Wooster High School. http://www.leagle.com/decision/19851160696P2d464_11159/WOODS%20v.%20STATE

This would be a very dramatic Class Re-Union. And I usually try to avoid such things as much as possible. It would be interesting though to find out what happened in the lives of some of the people I went to high school with in Reno, Nevada even if there is that elephant in the room of the long history of the Michelle Mitchell murder investigation which probably found its closure with the DNA tests on Rodney Halbower. Gypsy Hill killings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsy_Hill_killings) I have had inter-changes with some of these on Facebook and they can also see all the stuff I post on my 224 613 Project which is quite extensive. Most of it is extremely positive in the work I have been able to do with the help of so many people.

If there are any former Nevadans on TOTV I like to hear your thoughts on this? Nevada is a quite different place to grow up.

I skipped my Senior Year by doing Correspondence Courses through Reno High School so even though I started at Earl Wooster High School as Class of 1977 and became a Member of the Class of 1976 at Earl Wooster High School. Even if I had to take a few tests at Reno High School.

I will probably just have another quiet week-end in the Villages though. The memories might be a little too much for many of the people there at the Earl Wooster High School 40th Re-Union. Many would recall that my birthday is 2-24. And I was the Teacher's Pet-- or one of them along with the late John Picollo-- of Mrs. Barbara Mitchell.

I attended my 20th, 30th, 40th and 55th HS reunions, only missing the 50th because I had to be out of the country. Every reunion was very rewarding but in a different way. i connected with classmates I had not seen since HS or college which I found to be enjoyable, even spiritually edifying in many ways. BTW, I grew up and went to HS in New Mexico which is not Nevada, of course.

Some classmates have turned up for every reunion, some for one or two and others never, for whatever reasons.

I would actually have more in common with the Class of 1977 as those are the people who were in most of my classes. I skipped my Senior Year by taking Correspondence Courses out of a different Reno High School.

I have not gone to any College, Masters Degree or Law Degree Re-unions. Maybe, because I did not want to have to describe the 224 613 Project because, admittedly, it makes me sound crazy until and when this starts bearing a lot of fruit. That is still up to the many people who have helped me with this Project. Jean Sarte was right-- Hell can be other people. So can Heaven.
