Tim Barnett ‘67 -
An Alum You Should Know
•
•
•
Tim was an influential member of the Class of 1967 40th
Reunion Committee. During a conversation about his
recent reunion with Erin Byrne, Tim shared some of his
fond memories from the founding years of Carmel. Initially
when asked, Tim paused and smiled saying that there were
too many to mention just one. Once talking, Tim recalled
great stories and traditions like they were yesterday. He
started with talking about an alumni survey he filled out
20 years ago about his Carmel experience. Tim started
laughing and said, “I always teased my children that Carmel
‘borrowed’ the phrase ‘values are for life’ from my survey
Associates Degree in Architecture
and Building Construction

30 years of professional carrier
as a Project Manger and
Estimator in the Heavy Highway
Industry
Retired in 2004

reply.” Tim genuinely feels that what
he learned at Carmel did give him a
foundation that has lasted throughout
his life. The theme of this issue
of Currents is ‘Traditions’ and Tim
shared several traditions from Carmel
for the Boys from 1963-1967. One
such tradition was when Mike Dau,
a former Marine Captain and gym
teacher, would make gym classes run
in the winter along the North Shore
train line. “Dau taught us how to
march and run in formation, and we
did it out in the snow!” If you haven’t
read the tradition article already, turn
back to page 8 to read more traditions
from Carmel for the Boys, Girls
and from today.
2008 Reunion Years!
It is time to gather the Classes of
’68, ’73, ’78, ’83, ’88, ’93 ’98 and
’03 to Reunions.
In the past, Carmel has celebrated
reunions with ‘Carmel Town’ and with
joint reunion dinners and receptions
at Carmel.
Since 2006, reunions are now celebrated
by each class individually on dates and
at locations selected by each class
reunion committee.
Reunion Committees are now being
formed. Please consider volunteering for your
Reunion Committee! This reunion could be
the best yet, but that can only happen with
your involvement.
Reunion volunteers will help pick the date,
location and cost of your reunion. This is
a fun and enjoyable way to reconnect with
Carmel and your classmates. Past reunions
include a bbq and pool party at the home
of an alum, golf outings, tours at
Carmel and cocktail receptions
at Portofino’s Italian Bistro, The
Forge Club, Mickey Finn’s Brewery
and Tavern on the Towne.
If you are able to volunteer – to
serve on a committee or plan
the reunion itself – please contact Erin Byrne
’97, Alumni Relations Director at Ebyrne@
carmelhs.org or 847-388-3382.
Reunion volunteers do not need to live in
the Chicago land area. If you live out of
town and are interested in volunteering-
please contact Alumni Relations. Accommodations
can be made to include you in the
planning process.
Stay tuned for more
information on your
individual reunions.
