Calling All Funeral Homes

The other day, “06880” reported on the Staples Class of 1960.  Planning their 50th high school reunion, they used modern technology (the web) and old standbys (yearbooks) to hunt down nearly all of their 280 members.

Sorry, guys, but you’re rookies compared to Staples’ Class of 1950.

Those men and women — pushing 80 years old, they make the 1960 class look like babies — are hard at work organizing their 60th reunion (Oct. 7).

They’ve tracked down every one of their 130-plus class.

How’d they do it?

They used the internet too.

But also, a class member said, “calls to realtors, ex-wives — and funeral homes.”

Remember this 1950 Hudson? The Staples class of 1950 does. It must have been the coolest car in the high school parking lot.
