WELCOME FHS CLASSMATES!
From within our class site, you can share your thoughts, ideas and photos with classmates and contact old friends. We are trying to bring you new stories and information as often as possible. We will post information about the 2011 reunion as it becomes available. It will be our 45th! The previous year was one of transition. The look of the website has changed but it is still being done in the spirit of friendship and to keep close those special memories from years gone by.

Please view the "Remember Nancy" page created in her honor. For those of you who did not know, Nancy Marker Steinert died February 5, 2009. It has been one year. It has been a year of great change. While Nancy is indeed sorely missed, we have been trying to carry on in her footsteps and create a website she would be proud of. Our goal is to do as well as she did and keep the memories and spirit of our friendships and dear old Fairview alive!
We will be gathering together again to remember those who have passed before us and to share old and new stories. Carol Kehl has made the commitment to keep our reunions going. We will laugh and enjoy being with each other as in the past. Karen Dicken and several others have volunteered to help Carol. The next reunion will be in 2011. Hard to believe it will be our 45th reunion! In honor of Nancy, let's make it a large turnout.
Please participate in the efforts of the website. Indicate your comments, interest or ideas by using the "Contact Us" menu option on this site. You can submit your photos by choosing the "Photo Albums" menu option or you can send them directly to a member of the website committee. Please send photos as jpg's. We are in definite need of pictures from the August 2008 reunion. We only have the group photo. Also needed are more photos during our years at Fairview.
"Fairview High School was no different from any other high school in Dayton, Ohio in the 1960s. It was simply made of brick and stone and glass. What was different though, were the friendships. The bonds that were forged by a chance meeting of students in a hallway, sharing a table at lunch or simply sitting behind the same person for fours year in a homeroom. A point in time when life was simple. When we cruised the drive-ins and when we learned about 'rock and roll' and most important we discovered friendships."
(Written by classmate Tom Kender in February 2009.)
Our hope is that you enjoy the website and communicate with us. Please stop by often and notify other classmates about the website address. Remember to enter your current email or contact information by using the "'66 Class Directory" menu option so we can inform you about upcoming reunions and other events. While viewing the site, we hope you remember everything that made Fairview great and many dear old friends. Come back soon!
