The following email was received on April 29, 2010:

Dear Alwood High School Alum,

 My name is Corbrett Hodson and I work with the American Institutes for Research. I am contacting you from the email address found on the Alwood High School alumni webpage.

 The class of 1960 from Alwood High School participated in a study with us and now, 50 years later, we are trying to reconnect with these individuals to continue the study. I have attached a brief letter explaining the previous study and the hopes for the next one.

 With it being the 50 year reunion we thought it would be a good time to try and contact as many of the participants as possible. If permissible please forward the letter to members of the reunion organizing committee or other applicable individuals who were part of Alwood High School’s 1960 graduating class. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

 If you have any questions please let me know. I have listed my contact information below.

 Kind Regards,

 Corbrett Hodson

Class of 1977 - 30 year Class Reunion

Woodhull is celebrating its Sesquicentennial (150 years) between Wednesday, July 18th and Sunday, July 22nd. It seems like a good idea to gather around that. In fact, it sounds like many class reunions are returning during that period of time. With all the activities going on during that week it would be nice to define one moment in time where people might gather if they wish. With that in mind...

Time:  3:00 PM

There are lots of activities, no cost, and no reservations are needed. If you are in town, please stop by and visit!
