Calling all MPHS Vets

Morgan Park High School in Chicago is assembling a list of MPHS Veterans from the Vietnam era as was done for WWI, WWII, and Korea. They will place the names outside of the Principal's Office.   They have asked us to help assemble names. 

Please send me the year you graduated or attended MPHS, your branch and dates of service, and whether you served in Vietnam.  A short description of your experiences would be nice, and pictures are worth a 1,000 words. 

Since there are now lots of folks falsely claiming to be Vets (Nice to be fashionable - who would have believed this in 1970?) perhaps you should send me something official proving your service. Preferably send a scan by email, but you can also send it snail mail to 423 High Street, Peoria, IL 61606. 

I encourage you to write a long version of your experience with photos and publish it on line. And please send that to me for inclusion in the book / blog that Jim Seamon and I are developing about the experiences of all of us during the 60's - Veteran or not.  

You can post on facebook or email it to me at:


Craighullinger@gmail.com 

Everything is posted to Our Blog 

http://morganparkhigh.blogspot.com/ 

I will place the names and stories / photo on this blog, and provide the information to MPHS.

Message at the request of Lois Lemon MPHS 1962

I posted this message at the request of Lois Rodakovitz Lemon MPHS 1962

On Wed, Aug 4, 2010   wrote:

Hi Craig, Kay, Carol, Dave, Susan,

My name is Lois Radakovitz Lemon, and I am a '62 graduate of Empehi.  I am part of our reunion committee and am working on a networking project to get contact people from all of the Morgan Park Graduating classes so that we can use an email chain so to speak to spread the word about the Black Welder Hall Renovation Project.

Our class spear headed the project after visiting the school. We have joined with the R C Antonides Foundation to funnel the money safely and legally.

The foundation's origin is 1950's football players and alum who wanted to give back in memory of a coach who formed their lives.

As the fall semester begins we are continuing our campaign to raise money to replace the 790 seats /$155,000. A mailing /email campaign is about to go out and I was wondering if you Craig, would be the contact person for the 65-67 group and post the information on your site.

I am also looking for the person/people who maintain your class lists and have an active email list. I would like to send you the emails from the renovation committee and ask you to send them to your class lists. I believe this is the most efficient way of personally reaching as many Empehi Alum as possible. With many hands we can get the project done easily. Please join this effort and give back to Empehi. Hank Gentry, class of '66 is part of the Foundation and Renovation Committee.

Are you the people I need to talk to?

I look forward to hearing from you,

"Lois Lemon '62"  lllemon@cox.net

Join Facebook - Talk to your High School Friends

We have a new MPHS Fan Page on Facebook named: 

Morgan Park High School Alumni 1965-1967 

To get to this page, log into Facebook and type the name in the search box, in the top center.  

You can read the messages posted and write one if you wish. 

If you have not yet joined Facebook, you can do so by going to:  

http://www.facebook.com/  

Sign up.  It takes a while to get the hang of it, as when you first learned e-mail or word processing. 

I would describe Facebook as E-mails with photos. 

It is also a social networking site.  

You can write to individuals, post messages on your own page, or post messages on other pages. 

You can post your own photos or look at photos placed by your friends. 

When you click on the page:  

Morgan Park High School Alumni 1965-1967, you will see  "like" at the top of the page.  

When you click on "like", you become a member.  

You will then receive posts sent to your personal home page (news feed) on Facebook.  

The link below is a set of instructions for Facebook. 

Of course, I never try to read the instructions.  

I prefer the Million Monkey Method, which is developed from the concept that if a million monkeys worked on something long enough, they would actually succeed.  

Or if one person does something over and over, it might eventually work.
