Please make your checks payable to Westwood High School - Class of 1964 and mail to:

Barbara Fitzgerald Weeks 8620 Greenbrook Parkway Southaven, MS 38671

or

Marvin Neely 4490 Stone Park Boulevard Olive Branch, MS 38654

We would really appreciate your checks as soon as possible. The closer to time that you wait to mail your check makes things more difficult for the committee to make commitments for the food order and other budgetary items.

As always, the Class of 1964 Reunion is open to all Westwood High School alumni, friends and family. At the present time we have had a total of 42 commitments from the Class of ’64 graduates (and spouses) along with an additional 21 commitments from classes 65-72 and other friends. We expect to have in excess of 75-80 (or more) once the final count is in. If you know of any Westwood High School graduates who are interested in attending please have them contact us.

We have also lost contact with several of our classmates from the class of 1964. If you have any information that would help us contact any of the following classmates please contact Barbara Fitzgerald Weeks (901-299-1542) or Marvin Neely (901-603-3955) so that we can contact them regarding this reunion and future events.

For those interested in staying at the hotel we have a block of 20 rooms reserved at special rates for the two nights of the reunion. Please be sure to ask for the Westwood High School Reunion rate of $80 per night (The regular rate is $109 per night). The number to call for your reservations is 662-895-2941. Book soon as there are only 20 rooms available at this special rate. There is also another hotel on the property but we do not have any special rates with them.

We are excited that we have had such a wonderful response thus far for this special reunion event and that we have had so much interest from other alumni and friends of the Class of ’64. And, we are looking forward to many more positive responses from those of you who have not yet responded.

We look forward to hearing from ALL OF YOU soon and to seeing you this summer at the “45 Year Class Reunion” of the Westwood High School Class of 1964.
