Here's to Terry, the Man Behind This Blog and So Much More


Those of us behind the CHS Class of 1966 blog, newsletter, Facebook pages and YouTube channel want to take the time to call everyone's attention to all the time, talent, and energy our good friend Terry Rawstern has given to what we  call our "perpetual reunion" project.  

 

Terry has had a series of surgeries of late — nothing serious, although, at our age, any surgery can be serious — and we would ask you to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. 

 

Terry was, and is, the driving force behind our digital efforts. As something of a Digital Executive Officer, he keeps us busy working on new stories to keep the circle of communication going. 

 

In addition to his creative ideas for enhancing our communications, and making them interesting, Terry has made a number of excellent behind-the-scenes contributions to the blog and the newsletter. 

 

His technological and digital expertise has been invaluable. 

 

His feelings for his classmates, and for the city in which we grew up, are evident in all of his contributions.  

Terry Rawstern and his wife, Chris.

Thanks Terry for leading and enabling your digital team to create the means for class to reconnect. Thanks also to Christine who has supported you in your nerdiness. Bob Couser

Special thanks for the kind words and thoughts. This has truly been a team effort and some very special thanks goes to Chris for all her hard work. At one time Bob was over at our house as we were starting this project. Bob and I were having so much fun that Chris said we were like 2 small boys having fun playing. Throughout all the challenging times we wanted this feeling to continue. As I have said to many, we are “Touching Lives” and helping the class of 66 regain some of the closeness we had back at Central. I recently saw a picture of Bob, Rory and me when we first started school at Roosevelt. The bodies have gotten older but the friendships we had back then are still alive today. Keep up the good work everyone and I will be back as soon as I can. Terry

Such a big thank you to Terry who really has been the "behind the scenes" push for these projects. He has continuously nudged the rest of us to get things kick started and reach out to our classmates. He feels so passionately about keeping the connections going and growing, and as he said "touching lives". We have so enjoyed getting to know classmates now that we did not know well during high school years. And thank you, Christine, for your support at the reunion and since. Carole T.
