We�re writing again to let you know that we want to hear from you if you're still interested in celebrating our 80 year milestone with your DJO classmates.
The celebration will coincide with DJO's Homecoming, October 23 to 25. We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn in Falls Church, where we will hold a meet and Greet on Friday evening. The block runs through September 23rd, after which time you can make your own individual reservation, but there won't be any guarantee of availability.
On Saturday, at Homecoming, a tour of the school will be available, along with the barbecue lunch and football game. After the game we will reconvene at the hotel and move on to our celebration at a nearby venue, Once we know how many of you plan to attend we can secure a venue.
We have not heard from many of you and we don't want to abandon the effort if you're planning to attend. So please respond as soon as possible.

Today's Featured Biography
Christopher Lee
Born in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, raised in Tyler Park (a community in Falls Church, Virginia). Went to St. James elementary, then to D.J. O'Connell H.S. and then received a degree from George Mason University.
After graduating from college I serve with the Naval Amphibious Forces based at Little Creek, Virginia.
I worked for 27 years at Verizon before retiring in 1997. During my careet, I held positions in Regultory Affairs, Marketing, Product Management, the Champion Program ( a small group who assisted employees from any department who had an idea for a new product/service. We guided them from conceptulization to commercialization). Other assignments included being assigned to the task force which implemented the breakup of the Bell System. My most rewarding work was with Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) Video Services. I was given the oppurtunity to work in Rome, Italy with Telecom Italia. I managed the Bell Atlantic team that assisted Telecom Italia introduce video on demand services in Rome and Milan. After completing this assignment, I returned to the States and decided to retire at 51 years of age. After taking a two year break, I decided to work with Long & Foster Real Estate in Columbia, Md. In 2007, I retired again (this time I mean it). Looking forward to the Reunion!
