(3/22/13) "As a one-year administrator at Dreux High School (1962-63), I take
great interest in the Dreux High School Alumni Association Newsletter. And as a
senior administrator on the European Dependents Schools Directorate, I took
special interest in Dreux and other U.S. installations in France in 1967
while working on transferring school assets from France to the Benelux and
Germany. To say nothing of my attachment to Dreux when my daughter was born
there (in the Evreux Hospital) in December 1962. DREUX WINE AND BEER PILSNER

If you have are any other ideas for articles in the newsletters, just shoot me an email. We will most likely feature the upcoming Reunion for the next few months, but after the Reunion I will be looking for news and stories! If you would like to write an article for the newsletter, I welcome that as well. UPDATED 1/26/13: I am looking for copies of early "Notre Viking" newsletters or later called "The Viking Newsletter" Thanks to Betty Taplin (Wood), I now have all of the newsletters from the 1960/61 school year, including the very first edition dated October 22, 1960! I am specifically looked for the May 1962 and June 1962 newsletters, but any newsletters after that time would be really good too! If you have any of those tucked away anywhere, it would be wonderful if you would scan them and email them to me or make copies and send them via snail mail. Email me and let me know...Thanks! NEW FORMAT FOR DREUX NEWSLETTER! (8/15/12) DUES NEWS!
Update on Guestbook (7/22/12): I have added a new
Guestbook. As mentioned below, the company that provided our prior
guestbook no longer supports it and it went away! So please sign in
and let us know you visited the website! I have uploaded a link to our old Dreux Guestbook entries. Guest Gear no
longer provided the Guestbook that we were using. Fortunately they did send me the file of all of our prior guest book
entries so I put it in the best format I could for those who would like to check
it all the old entries. We now have 509 Dreux alumni as members of our Dreux American High School Group page on FACEBOOK! That number keeps growing! Facebook has changed the format for Groups, so there has been LOTS of interaction going on now in the Group. If you are a member of Facebook and not currently a member of our Dreux AHS group page, either search for the Group page using the Facebook Search feature and "Request to Join the Group" or send me (Vicki Key) a Friend Request and I can add you to the Group. It is a closed group so that only those affiliated with Dreux can become members.
