A special thanks goes out to the Goldbeck Company for taking the above photo at the Grassmuck's Pre-Reunion Party!

And a big thanks to Dawn Cuellar Cunningham for taking a ton of pictures all throughout the reunion weekend. I've finally uploaded them all, so go check them out. They are in an album called "20 Year Reunion" on the main page of the Photo Gallery.

Several others have posted their reunion pictures in their own albums. The easiest way to see the latest pictures is to click the "Last Uploads" link near the top of the main page in the photo gallery.

If you have pictures from the reunion, or your family, or pictures from the past... post away! Let's keep this website active!

Reunion is a Success!


I think I speak for everyone by saying the 20 year reunion was fantastic! A special thank you goes out to Greg and Laurel Grassmuck for hosting a Friday night pre-reunion party and a Saturday evening after-party, both going on into the early-morning hours! Thanks for opening up your home to everyone!

And a special thanks to Dawn Cuellar Cunningham, Michele Autenrieth Brown, Hallie Smith Nikotich, and Laurel Jordan Grassmuck. These girls started working on this reunion last winter and they certainly pulled off a great event! Tripp Puhl, Greg Grassmuck and I "helped" also... mainly by eating tacos and generally causing trouble.

Dawn did a great job of taking pictures all weekend. I have them on a disk and will be posting them in the next couple of days. I saw a lot of cameras this weekend, so please upload your pictures in the gallery or email them to me and I'll upload them.

For those that couldn't make the events this weekend, you were missed!

This website will continue indefinitely. Please check back often for events and get-togethers in the future. And keep posting messages and pictures (old and new) for years to come!

Friday Night Party at the Grassmucks!


Greg and Laurel Grassmuck are hosting a party Friday night, August 3rd at their house. The party will be from 8:00PM to midnight. There will be a bunch of appetizers and BYOB.

The party will be in their backyard, so if the weather turns sour all bets are off. We might try to find an alternate location, but nothing is official at this point.

Additional weekend event details are in the July 27th posting.

See everyone in a few days!

Reunion Weekend - Schedule of Events
We have had some additional, "unofficial" events planned for the reunion weekend.

Here is a schedule of events:

Saturday, August 4th at 10:00 AM: Tour of the Mac Campus

Saturday, August 4th, 7:00 PM to midnight: Official reunion at the Quarry Golf Club

Sunday, August 5th, 11:00AM to 1:00PM: Family Meetup at Momaks Restaraunt

There are additional details regarding these 3 events in previous posts on this page. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. If I don't know the answer, I'll forward it on to one of the girls... they seem to have things well in hand!

For those of you planning on attending the Saturday night event but haven't registered yet, they will accept registrations at the door for $70 (cash only) a person.

The tour of the Mac campus and the Sunday lunch-time get together are unofficial events and are free (other then paying for your own lunch). Children are welcome at those events!

To get everyone in the mood, here's a video of the slide show that was shown at our 10 year reunion:

Tour of Mac Campus
We have coordinated a tour of the MacArthur campus on Saturday morning, August 4th at 10:00 AM. Thanks to Kimberly Anderson Marrin and Mary Anne Schweers for setting it up for us!

We will all meet at the “new” front of the school which is located to the right of the old entrance closer to the old math wing. The tour will be given by none other than... Ms Willis, senior English teacher!

If you have trouble finding it, just look for a large group of people with gray hair and bulging mid-sections.

Be sure to send in your registration packet for the Saturday evening event! The deadline for the cheaper price is July 27th!

And here's a picture of the partial reunion crew (we're missing Laurel Jordan Grassmuck and Tripp Puhl):

New Picture Gallery Online
We now have a picture gallery, so everybody start digging through your pictures (old and new) and start uploading!

Click HERE for the gallery.

To avoid getting a bunch of spam in the gallery you will have to register with the gallery and get a username and password. The registration is very simple.

Once registered, log on, create an album(s), and click the "upload" link at the top of the page to upload your pictures. The upload process will ask you which album to put the picture in.

The gallery resizes your pictures, but when browsing an album you can enlarge a picture by simply clicking on it for the full-size. If you have any problems or questions, shoot me an email.

Dawn has worked with Amerisuites (a hotel near the reunion site) to give us a group rate of $115/night for anyone needing a hotel for the reunion. We have 10 rooms blocked for us so far. More can be added if needed. Download the attachment below for information on the Amerisuites:

Amerisuites Amenities and Address

The girls are looking into other hotels as well. We'll keep you posted.

Also, don't forget to download the Reunion registration packet (in the May 8th post) and mail it in!

And lastly, because I own a mini-van and regularly watch "Dora the Explorer", I have plenty of time at night to do things like scan our yearbook.

So yes, we now have a virtual yearbook.

New Message Board is ready
With so many people already leaving comments (and this site hasn't even really been publicized yet) I figured we better get a more functional message board up and running.

So here it is:

Class of 1987 Message Board

To post a message you will have to register, but it is quick and painless. If you have any difficulty drop me an email at stinsonj@satx.rr.com and I'll help you out.

Everybody please join in... because if I'm the only one leaving messages and posting pictures I will feel quite the idiot! And let me know if you have any ideas for additional categories in the message board.

MacArthur Class of 1987 Website
Welcome to the Official Website of MacArthur's Class of 1987! The initial purpose of this site will be to share information about our upcoming 20 year reunion. We also want this site to become a common area where we all can share pictures from the past and present, post messages and memories (I remember paying Ken Due money to eat live bugs at Garner Middle School), and coordinate other San Antonio-area class get-togethers.

This site just opened today... so while there isn't much here yet, there will be many additions to come. Please add this to your favorites and check back often!
