While the week's celebration is the culmination of what the blog has been pointing towards for the past two years, the online celebration will continue. The NKHS 62 blog has been an effort to capture and memorialize the story of our youth, the sorrow and the joy, the celebration of the teachers who did their best for us, the failures, the successes, the relative comparison of what we knew - had - and owned vis-a-vis the world today, and the cultural/geopolitical aura of those times. The hope was to have many classmates sharing those stories. While that participation has been limited, the fabric is there and the wholecloth may still come about.
In that spirit, we will promote the blog at the banquet Saturday night with a thought that more of the class might become engaged. This video, "The Life and Times of 62", is a keynote effort, a three-minute encapsulation of the era, our school experience, and the days when we were on top of the world and the dream was underway. It was our shared life and times.
We look forward to seeing many of you this week.
