We need to start finding those classmates that have slipped off our radar. We need contact information for those on our "missing" list ... So please check out our Missing Alumni page.
It's time for the "gathering of our herd" for a weekend of visiting, getting reacquainted with each other and catching up. After all ... It's been a lot of years since we graduated!
As we all know, class reunions can be a bit intimidating. Some of us have changed, while others have not. But the reunions allow us to reconnect with people who were part of our youth or allows us to finally resolve issues and move on. Reunions allow us to let everyone know that we turned out okay. We have had classmates reunite with old friends and other classmates become new friends.Also, this year, it has been suggested that we have our Reunion in the Spring. We have had several former Buffs tell us that they want to attend our weekend of fun, but can't make it in the Fall due to prior commitments, etc. We have time to decide, but we would love to hear from you to know what YOUR thoughts are on when we have the Reunion. Also, let us know if you are interested in being a part of our planning/organizing committee for the 45th Reunion. Volunteers are always Welcome and Needed!
Just remember, we're getting older and our numbers are getting fewer so don't miss this opportunity to reconnect with your former classmates.
To help keep costs down, we would like to communicate as much as possible using email, so make sure we have your correct email and address information in our data base ... As the date draws closer, we will have all updates posted and we will have our official invitation and registration form online. Payment can be by check or credit card on the website.

The upcoming reunion will be the 7th reunion of the Milby Class of 1967, following those successful reunions that were held in 1977, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002 and 2007. The Reunion Committee is determined to make the upcoming 2012 reunion the most memorable and well-attended to-date.
At each reunion, it is so very exciting to see and recognize the still familiar faces from our youth, to renew friendships and acquaintances from the past, to exchange and re-live the stories and escapades from shared adventures that happened so long ago, and to have the opportunity to learn the latest information about all of your classmates. In the midst of all of the fun and frivolity, there is also a bit of sadness and melancholy in not seeing the faces of those who are no longer with us. If youve not had an opportunity to look at our class website lately - (Many thanks to webmaster Cathy Busse King), you will see a list and pictures of at least 57 of our classmates (approaching 10% of the class) who are no longer with us. We feel certain that this is a conservative number in that we are in contact with only about 70% of the members of the graduating class. Additionally, as we all continue to age, this list will undoubtedly begin to grow at an accelerating pace. The message isnt intended to be somber or foreboding, but rather to encourage you into action and into attending the 45th year reunion. There will undoubtedly be class members who attend the 45 year reunion that wont be around to make the 50th reunion (hopefully a small number), so dont put off attending in the belief that Ill see everybody at the big 50th year reunion in 2017.
As a departure from previous years, we hope to be able to use e-mail and our website as much as possible in order to hold down costs, coordinate the reunion planning, make announcements, and to take and confirm payments for the reunion, so collection of valid e-mail addresses is vital to our efforts. This year we are offering PayPal for your reunion payments or you can mail in your check. I would urge you to go to the website and send your e-mail address and the e-mail addresses of all 67 classmates that you are in contact with to the webmaster so we can update our database and contact as many as our classmates as possible concerning the upcoming Reunion. These addresses will NOT be disseminated without your authorization and will be for the sole and discreet use of the Reunion Committee. Despite our increased use of technology, we still need volunteers to help make the reunion a success. Potential areas where assistance is needed include classmate location and contact, planning committee, decoration committee, greeting table workers, etc. If you have any amount of time that you could devote to assisting us in preparing for the reunion, no matter how little or how much, please contact either Kathy Sellman Sturr (713-621-2242/office - 832-723-0617/cell) or John Lingor (713-858-3709) to let us know of your interest and availability.
Prices have continued to rise from year-to-year, and members of our reunion committee have had to make a significant personal financial commitment to the hotel in order to reserve the ballroom for the Reunion. In any effort to have as many familiar faces as possible at the Reunion, and to help offset the cost of arranging and putting on the reunion (estimated at $8,000 - $10,000), we are also inviting members of the Classes of 1965, 1966 and 1968 to attend. Members of the Classes of 65, 66 & 67 are urged to forward their e-mail address and any valid e-mail addresses that they have for other Milby alums to the Webmaster@www.Milbyalum.org. We will utilize alumni database to continue to contact members of these classes.
Questions? Call Kathy Sellman Sturr or John Lingor.
