Dear
MUSTANGS,
Well, here it is,
MY HOME PAGE of the
"Class of 1970." Stop in here, anytime, to find out the latest news on
members of our class and other classes, reunion updates, and more! Be
sure to e-mail me with news about yourself and your family that I can
include! You can write me at my home address given above, or send
e-mail to me.
John Jay High
School opened in
September 1967 and we were the school's very first sophomore class. So,
that means we've known one another for over 30 years, now. I spent my
freshman year over in Brindisi, Italy, but a lot of you went to 9th
grade at Sul Ross, Holmes, or Marshall, and even went to junior high
and elementary school together, so, you've been friends for 35, 40
years, or more. Whatever the case may be, we have formed lifelong
friendships that have withstood the test of time. It is in that spirit
of friendship that I work very hard to stay in touch with our
classmates. Each of you are very special people and no matter where you
are in your life, always know that the "1970 MUSTANGS" are with you all
the way!
People are always
asking me why I
bother spending so much time and effort in the past 15 years,
organizing our reunions and keeping this web site on-line. Well, my
days at John Jay High School were some of the happiest that I have ever
had in my life. Some of the words to the BEATLES song, "In My Life"
perhaps, explain it best for me, as to how I feel about all of you....
"There are places
I remember, all my
life, though some have changed. Some forever, not for better. Some have
gone and some remain. All these places had their moments with lovers
and friends, I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, in
my life I've loved them all. But of all these friends and lovers, there
is no one compared with you.... I know I often stop and think about
them. In my life I've loved you more."
If I can ever be
of help to any of
you, in any way, never hesitate to call me.
By the way, there
is a lot to this web
page. Please be sure to scroll all the way down to see everything.
Check it out... check it ALL out!
And hey! Let's be
careful out there!
Love Is All
Around,
Dennis
M. DuPriest '70
