With 20 years under our belts since graduation, the class of 1989 is a class filled with great people who are much more than who we were in high school or frankly even if we graduated from Ladue Horton Watkins high school. We were connected by time together at Price, Reed, Wright, Spoede, Old Bonhomme, Conway, Central or Hilltop Elementary Schools. Or time at the Junior High. Or a year or more at the high school. A few of us stayed together the whole 13 years. But rather than just looking at the graduating from Horton Watkins, I welcome our classmates along the journey AND those friends that were just a few years older or younger than us. We rode the bus together, played on the same swing sets, had the same teachers, knew each other's brothers and sisters. I hope that people will toss aside the initial awkwardness and initiate a conversation with people they discover/rediscover here. Even if we didn't hang out, even if we were completely apathetic towards each other -- or worst yet we didn't get along, twenty years has brought us a long way.

This networking is more than who you square danced with in 3rd grade, who you roomed with on the 8th grade trip to Chicago. More than where we sat during free hours, what clubs we joined, how many times our team beat Clayton, who you stood next to at the homecoming bonfire, which AP tests we took, whose parties we were (or weren't) invited to, our SAT scores, or when we last stepped foot on campus... More than who we went to dances with (or wanted to go with), which class we aced/passed/eeked through... And frankly, this isn't just about where we eventually went to college or who can boast the coolest titles or the most initials after their name now. More than how successful our spouses are, how cute or brilliant our kids are... Each of us left the graduation ceremony being challenged to think about our Great Expectations. What we would like to become and do. We're all 20 years out of high school and my bet is that most of us would be better friends now because we have so much more life experience and some new perspectives to offer.

My hope is to help facilitate the meeting of tighter network that are linked simply because we shared a common space and time in Ladue schools The school district and its individual schools left its fingerprints on each of our lives. Some more obvious. Some more subtle.

Things definitely weren't perfect then, so getting together to talk about what's happening now seems to make more sense than just trying to relive the "good ol' days."

So we hope you'll come. meet the persons we've all turned out to be.

Did you know that 1998 David Bianco (now Benkof) won the full $5000 of Ben Stein's money with a score of 8 to 5??

Hey Reed students...remember Sarah Clarke?
Hint: She's in the middle row with the yellow sweater.

Ever watch "24"? Yep - that's our classmate as Nina Myers.
Too bad the terrorist was killed off in season #3.

She's also made guest appearances on House and other shows including Twilight and Trust Me.

Greeting from Dr. Bill Raisch:

I want to extend congratulations and best wishes to the Ladue Class of 1989 on their 20th Reunion! Where does the time go???!!! Jan and I are happily retired in Hilton Head, S.C. We moved here in 2000 after I retired in 1999. Jan's folks (now deceased) had lived in Hilton Head since 1968 so we were well acquainted with the area, having visited them often during the summer months. We are in good health and busy with a variety of volunteer activities in addition to hosting family and friends and doing some travel. While Jan is busy with church activities, book groups, etc., I have been active with the Boys & Girls Club and an annual ethics symposium for college students. The opportunity to continue to work with youth is fulfilling for me.

Jan and I are the proud grandparents of 6 grandkids...and thoroughly enjoy watching them grow and develop! The only problem is that they are so far away! Both Jan and I have such memories of Ladue. What a joy it was to work with such fine students, staff and parents! I hope you all have fun at the Reunion..and we wish you the very best for success in life! Also...we hope Class members will give us a call when in Hilton Head and come by for a visit!

Regards to all...and Go Rams!

OK - in response to requests...help remember the school songs

"Fight team fight for dear old Ladue
To our colors we will be true
We've got the team and we've got the pep
We've got the school that's always in step (rah rah rah)
Ever onward to victory
Faithful always to thee
Here's to the white and here's to the blue
of our dear old Ladue."

*****************************
C for Conway, that's our school,
O for Outstanding, that's our goal,
N for neatness which pulls us through, and
W for work, that's important, too.
A for answers we will surely know, and
Y for "yea", a cheer that will go
C-O-N-W-A-Y, CONWAY!
*****************************
We welcome you to Spoede School,
We're mighty glad you're here,
We'll send the air reverberating,
With a mighty cheer, RA! RA!
We want to share,
We know you care,
The learning happens everywhere,
Come catch the Spoede spirit,
Welcome to Spoede School!
