FEBRUARY 20, 2022 UPDATE

Casey Lake Park Pavilion, site of August 20, 2022 reunion
Greetings, NSP Class of 1972 –
It’s been two weeks since we announced a August 20, 2022 Fifty-Year Reunion (Scroll down a bit further for these details) of the NSP Class of 1972. There’s good new news to report since then. Here’s an update and some reminders:
BECOMING A MEMBER
On Feb. 6, with not a lot of tech knowledge, we launched a members-only Class of 1972 website, announced details of a Summer 2022 gathering, and sent an email to all classmates with known emails. In less than two weeks, nearly 40 percent of this group has already “registered” (which means to simply sign-in with an email address and password) on this new members-only (www.northstpaul1972.com) website. Exceptional, thanks, but we’d love to have more of you participatel
BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP
Why would you want to become a member?
--It assures you will continue to receive updates as reunion planning progresses
--It provides you full access (just sign in) to announcements, to classmate profiles and photos, listing of Missing Classmates (we just need an email address to not be missing), listing of deceased classmates, see where classmates currently reside, and obtain the ability to connect with and private-message your classmates
--The website will remain operational for months and years to come, providing an ongoing hub for connecting and communicating as a group or individually
IF YOU'VE NOT YET BECOME A MEMBER
If you’ve not registered, we encourage you to do so now. Go to JOIN HERE in the upper-right corner, find your name, and “become a member with an email address and password. This is your, shared website, you can make it come alive by providing content and communication and establishing your own connections with long-lost classmates.
CLASSMATE PROFILES
(sheriff, medical professional, teacher, pilot, paster, horse farm owner, military service, newspaper publisher, locomotive engineer)
It’s already starting to take shape! Visit the “Classmate Profiles” section where it’s VERY fun to see what classmates have been up to over the past 50 years. If you haven’t already, please consider sharing even a little bit about your life, add a past and present photo or two, maybe share a school memory. Thanks!
MOST IMPORTANT! HELP FIND "MISSING CLASSMATES"
They're only missing until we have an email adddress
The number one reason we started the process this early is to locate as many classmates as possible – with your help. It takes a village to locate former villagers. Under “Missing Classmates,” the website lists classmates’ names that are only “missing” because the planning committee does not yet have an email address for them. We are counting on you to visit this section where you’re likely to know a person, or two, or more on this list. PLEASE encourage those you are in contact with to visit the website, click on their name under “Missing Classmates,” register, they’ll no longer be “missing,” and they'll begin receiving reunion updates. Or, let the committee know by going to "Contact Us."
IN MEMORY: OUR DECEASED CLASSMATES
Reunion committee members have undertaken the task of maintaining a list of deceased classmates over the many years. There are are 60 that we have knowledge of and we have been adding to this list due to sharing from you. This list can be found on the website under ”In Memory.” It is a sobering experience to visit this site. You can inform us (there’s a form on the site) if you have additional details on listed classmates or if there are others to be added. We will continue to update “In Memory” over the months and years to come.
WHERE WE LIVE
Oregon, Nevada, California, Florida, Michigan, Texas, South Carolina
Another section of the website, "Where We Live," charts where classmates currently reside. The first 75-plus Class of 1972 website members already hail from 14 states.
