ATTENTION CLASS OF 1968!!!  THIS LOOKS TO BE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH UP WITH ALL THINGS IRVIN HIGH SCHOOL REUNION CLASSES.  2023 WILL BE OUR 55th REUNION AND WHILE WE WILL NOT BE ORGANIZING AND HOSTING A FORMAL EVENT, THIS OPPORTUNITY FROM BRYSON  McCOOL IS ONE WE SHOULD ALL ATTEND!!!

Check out who RSVP'd MAYBE to the
60 - '73 Irvin Alumni Anniversary Reunion event

2023 ALL CLASS REUNION IN EL PASO, OCTOBER 2023

We are currently planning on having an Irvin Alumni Mini-Reunion/Rendezvous 20-23 October 2023 in El Paso if enough folks sign-up.  While it is primarily open to the Irvin classes of ’60-’73, any Irvin Alumni are welcome to attend.  The host hotel is the Marriott (the Class of ’61 held their 50th Reunion here) close to the El Paso Airport. It is really a plush setup at the Marriott with a lounge that has a sizeable seating area for Happy Hour or after dinner get together. There is also a Bistro for breakfast and a very nice restaurant in the hotel. The Cattle Baron and Appleby’s restaurants are within walking distance.  The plan would be to try and get a tour of Irvin on Saturday. Like the Irvin Alumni Rendezvous we have been conducting since 2016 in Ruidoso, this is an informal affair with the primary event being the Happy Hour each evening at 5PM and meeting up after dinner in a hospitality room or the lounge.  If the response is great enough, we may also try to plan events during the day such as everyone meeting somewhere for lunch or tour Old Mesilla.  The room rate is $109+tax per night (normally $149+tax per night) if we have enough folks staying at the Marriott and we can block a minimum of 30 rooms.  We hope you will consider attending. If you would like to sign up, please let me know as soon as you can and I will put you on the distribution to keep you informed.  I hope everyone is doing well.  Take care.  Bryson McCool ‘61

We received this note today from Virginia Peters Pearce who asked us to post to the site. Sad news and our prayers are with her and her family.


I have been meaning to come to the 1968 class reunions forever! I thought I had plenty of time and my life has always been so very full!! Unfortunately, last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that has spread etc.etc The point is you never know when someone is going to spoil your Christmas! So don't keep putting off your reunion! Silly me! I honestly thought I would live forever! Go figure! Can't complain! I have honestly had the best life ever!! Three children, 7 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren! Traveled the world , and I now live in Cibolo,Texas just outside of San Antonio.Sorry I will miss the reunion! (I was honestly going to come. Lol!) Have fun! God Bless the class of 68! Simply the best!

 

 

 

Deal Fellow Classmates and Alumni,

One of our fellow Classmates, Mark Smith, sent us several pictures of our newly Remodeled Irvin High School.  Looks very nice and this may be the first real remodel since we left in 1968.  A BIG THANK YOU to Mark!!!!  And if you would like to personally thank Mark he can be reached via email at: markgsmith1949@aol.com 

Mark states:  

I was out by Irvin yesterday and took the attached pictures of the new front of the school. It is a very different image than what we knew. Thought you might want to post them on the web site.So nice to hear from you. Attached are the few other pictures I took.

Doing well, keeping busy, still breathing. Hope the same for you.

Not sure when we might do another Reunion.  Our next one would be our 55th and maybe not in the cards for some of us.  Please let us know your thoughts and we will see what our Reunion Committee can do.

Regards,

Your Reunion Committee
