Ross Tipton, former Dreux Principal, just turned 101 yrs old on Friday, August 5th
If you would like to send him well wishes, you can email him at mchchar@aol.com Because of all of the emails he's gotten from former Dreux students to wish him a Happy Birthday, it would be a challenge for him to respond, but just know that he LOVES to hear from everyone.

| I am looking for copies of early "Notre Viking" newsletters or later called "The Viking Newsletter" In the early 1960's, it could have been called something different. I am especially interested in those newsletters that have bios on the faculty and staff. Often times, the newsletters included those bios and they are really helpful in searching for those faculty/staff that we have not found. 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. Thanks! Vicki Key
|
| We now have 445 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. |
