It has been nearly thirty-year since we walked the halls of Lake Washington High School.   Today, older, wiser, less self-conscious, we can look back at those school days with nostalgia.  For good, bad or indifference, those youthful days were the foundation of our lives.   In spring ‘78 we each set forth to create our future.   Not measured by a common standard.   Instead it was a journey to live life on our own terms, in our own way, with our own unique ambitions and style. 

You’re reading this now and that is the greatest achievement of all, you're alive.    After thirty years, this reunion is a milestone to be cherished.    Come to honor the memories of those classmates that have gone, and share your life with those that remain.

Join us in celebrating the Class of ’78. 

We will post new photos and commentary regularly so please check back often.   Click on the buttons on the left to take you to various pages of this website.   Don't forget to sign up in "Classmates."

Once the reunion event is scheduled, you can RSVP and pay online.

Come Sail Away with the Class of '78

IT'S ALMOST HERE!  And, we're getting excited to see everyone at the reunion.  We have a great party planned, guaranteed you'll have tons of fun. After all, the thirty only happens once, and regardless of what little remains of your memory, this is your one opportunity to reconnect and rejoice in your childhood.  So, don't procrastinate, order your tickets NOW, before the price goes UP.

We took a vote at the last reunion and it was unanimous that a thirty year reunion was pretty darn important... something that every class MUST have... WANTS to have... and so here we have it... a super event just for YOU!   Now, if YOU aren't there .. your childhood friends will be taking about why YOU missed it ... and months later YOU'LL be wonder why YOU were soooo foolish to pass up the chance to be a kid again - even for just one night.  Perhaps, YOU are too good for us, or too shy, or too tall.   Doesn't really matter, your food is ordered and waiting for YOU.  Heck, we're not even going to make you resurrect that powder-blue leisure suit hanging in the closet you wore for the senior prom.  Probably the only suit you ever had to wear your whole life.  Nope, this is an Hawaiian Theme / Business Casual so you can be comfortable and relaxed.   So no excuses, YOU better hurry and order YOUR tickets today*.  Okay,  now stop surfing through those random myspace pages, sit up from the Lay-Z-Boy, turn off the TV, and sign-up.  Remember it's not a reunion without YOU!

Come Sail Away....

We are still trying to locate quite a number of classmates, so any help you could give us would be appreciated.  Please refer to the Missing Classmates section and let us know if you have information or possible leads on any of them.

You can purchase tickets by clicking on the appropriate link.  To pay with credit card click "Tickets by Credit" and complete the registration.  Or "Tickets by Check" and mail your check to the address noted on that page.  We appreciate those of you who pay early as it not only helps with planning, but enables us to add YOUR name to the list of those attending!

We would also appreciate it if you would take a moment to fill out the Classmates section.  This information will enable us to create an up-to-date mailing list and insure that those who have not already purchased tickets receive a formal invitation when they are mailed out in the spring.

Again, we thank all of you who have phoned and/or responded to our website.  With your help, we continue to find more and more fellow alumni.  Keep the 'buzz' going and let's make this an evening to remember.

Cheers!

If You Have Not Purchased Your Tickets Yet, Please Read On....

WARNING:  Only READ the following phrase and STARE at this powerfully HYPNOTIC image IF you have NOT purchased your tickets.   Failure to heed this warning will result in an uncontrollable urge to purchase a massive number of reunion tickets.

START HERE: "Breathe in....let relaxation flow into you and all the tension in your body flow out.  You are becoming sleepy. As we count from one to ten you will be dreaming.  One.  Picture yourself lying on a beach near the ocean. Completely relaxed. No worries or fears. Slowly, remove your Credit Card from your wallet.   Two. You can hear the sea gulls. You are completely relaxed and comfortable.  Three.   Gently, Click on the "Buy Tickets" tab.   Let yourself go, everything is O.K.  Four.  Carefully, Complete your registration information.  Five.  Seeing the ocean, hearing the waves, you see a blur of hawaiian shirts.  Six. Softly, Click "Submit"   Seven. Laying on the beach, warm and safe, watching the gulls fly, you kickback a cold-one, it taste good.  Eight. Nine. Quietly, put the Credit Card back in your wallet.   Ten.  You smile and feel happy inside......

You will now begin to wake up. You will remember everything. You will feel terrific, renewed and awake. You feel like yodeling, but please please don't.  Open your eyes,  smile and rejoice, you are now going to your 30th reunion."

Congratulations,
Your Reunion Committee

Apparently, there is nothing a LWHS '78 Kang will not endure to get a ticket to our 30th year reunion.  Ever since the Seattle Times incorrectly announced the reunion SOLD OUT , people have gone crazy to get a ticket.   (We have since demanded a retraction that will appear next week in section "Z", page "237" -  be sure to look for it! )

Thank goodness, a committee member found MORE TICKETS in Scott's crawl space right next to the class seal.  This good fortune can only be the result of "GOOD KARMA"  Which means you were MEANT to attend the reunion, and a HIGHER power is making sure YOU DO.   What do you have planned for September 27th, anyway?  Stay home ... watch TV ... surf the web ... cry in shame?  How could you live with yourself if you missed this once in a lifetime event?  

Remember, don't mess with Karma.  Get a TICKET.  They won't sell them at the door ... so, you have to GET them HERE!

Love & Kisses,
Your Reunion Committee

Welcome Back!  Yep, we know you're HERE again.  Because, we can SEE you.    Question is, how many times will you need to visit before you buy a ticket?   Look ...  we'll be honest, we bet everyone you'd buy a ticket this time.  So, we can all win if you just overcome your hesitation and procrastination and join the fun.   Click HERE NOW.

This is your 30th reunion after all.  The tenth... well... was just like high school.  The twentieth.. well sort of that way, too.  But the 30th... wow...now that's when it gets fun and laid-back.  Hence, no stuffy attitudes, no zoot-suits, no make-up, no inflated ego,  just Hawaiian Casual, and a lot of great childhood memories.

Your reunion committee has worked tirelessly to organize this extravaganza, but time is running out to purchase tickets.  We have to let the hotel know the final "head count" SOON, so we ask that you purchase your ticket before ... yesterday.   But, if you didn't yet, you still can buy tickets today!   We're going to have a great turnout, but we really want you there too.  Show your KANG PRIDE!

Come Sail Away with the Class of 1978.
