I found an interesting article about Dave Hewitt '63 who attended Dreux
during the 1960/61 school year. In 2006, he was inducted into the TEC
(Technology) Hall of Fame which recognizes those individuals whose careers
have best exemplified excellence in professional audio production and
design. He joins other Hall of Famers such as George Lucas, Sam
Phillips, Frank Zappa, Bob Moog, Ray Dolby and Quincy Jones, just to name a
few. Click here
to read about his induction. Congratulation, Dave!
Since we have had such sad news during the last year with the loss of
so many, I would like to start sharing some good news such as what is
mentioned above. If you have any good news you would like to share
(hey, it's ok to "toot" your own horn...I'm the only one that will
know - Ha!) or if you know of interesting/fun news about any of our former
classmates and/or teachers, please email me.
I plan to make a "News" page that can be updated as "news
items" come in.

located towards the bottom of the page. These are people for whom we
once had mailing addresses, but the addresses are no longer valid. If
you know the whereabouts of any of the folks, please email Vicki Key at VickiK3275@aol.com.
**Important** If you use some sort of SPAM Blocker on your email,
please be sure to allow receipt of mail from VickiK3275@aol.com

I use both of those emails to send information to our alumni and we don't
want you to miss out on important information regarding Dreux alumni
activities.
**Important**
If your area code has changed in the last few years,
please update us with the new one! I am in the process of doing a
major update to the information in the printed directory and am finding that
many area codes listed in the directory are not current. We are also
trying to get as many email addresses as possible since that will be the
primary method of communication on Dreux activities. So please make
sure you notify Vicki Key if you
change email addresses!!
