Seattle, the Emerald City, is the location for the FHS63-66 Business Meeting in June 2004. Headquarters is the beautiful Seattle Westin, where we have negotiated a special rate for FHS: $129+tax per night, double occupancy. Click for reservations, and enter 49DB0. This reservation site is active from 23 October 2003 to 26 May 2004, for booking, modifying, or cancelling a reservation. You may also call toll-free to the Seattle Westin (1-888-627-8513) for reservations. Be sure to ask for the "Frankfurt American High School" rate.
This year, we also welcome the classes of 1960-1963, many of whom met at Lake Tahoe in June 2003, or were with us in New Orleans. Mark your calendar for the weekend of June 25-27, 2004 (the weekend after Father's Day). Come a few days early. We'll have rooms available in the Westin, and you will find lots to do and other early-arriving classmates to visit with.
Last held here in 1992 when the reunion headquarters were on Lake Union, the 2004 reunion will showcase Seattle's downtown area - replete with its famous public market (home of the original Starbucks), theatres, museums, Seattle Center (the site of the 1962 World's Fair) with its Space Needle and Experience Music Project, shopping, ferry rides, Underground Seattle, and more, more, more! Seattle was the original staging city for the Yukon gold rush, and still is a springboard for cruise ships plying the famous Inside Passage. Consider augmenting your visit with an Alaska cruise. We've arranged for special rates aboard Holland-America Line's "Amsterdam" for the June 27-July 4 Inside Passage cruise. To investigate Alaska cruises on your own, try All-Alaska Cruises. For something a bit more local, enjoy a cruise up the Columbia River on a stern wheeler, retracing the steps of Lewis and Clark.
We are planning activities for Thursday through Saturday nights. They include gatherings in our hospitality suite (that will open on Thursday), a Belltown barbecue and pub crawl, business meeting on Saturday morning, and Saturday night dinner and dancing in the Teen Club. Be prepared for a few surprises!
