REUNION 45 a Huge Success

It is post -reunion 45 now and after getting some rest, I want to share some about the weekend. First of all, thank you to the Reunion Committee Team for incredible hard work and long hours to pull off a two night major event like this. I know we would all agree it was worth every effort. Our class doesn't just show up and eat dinner somewhere and visit, we have weekend events with all the bells and whistles.When the committee first met about a 45th reunion, we said lets do it but on a smaller scale of the last reunion since it was a mid term event. Well, that didn't happen! As we talked and planned, we got so excited that we went all out again. Now, the 45th is going to be hard to beat.

I am always amazed at how our class doesn't see each other for 5 or 10 years and when we get back together we just pick up right where we left off. That comes from our theme "Friends for Life". Our class is so special and unique in that we are all close and have nothing less than great memories of high school days. We had 623 people graduate in 1973 and ever since that day, we just get closer and closer together. What am amazing class we are.

The venue was awesome and embraced us perfectly. I loved the the outdoor setting and buffet and bar and the grass area under the lights. We also had AC indoors but really not many even took advantage of that area. The outdoor setting proved to me fun and exciting. Add in all the decorations and the themed look, it was amazing! When Jeff and Bob and I looked at the venue, we immediately started envisioning a fun event and the ideas were flowing. We left that day pumped at the thought of having our reunion there.

It all came out great and was so much fun. Thank God for the perfect weather and ocean breeze to keep the bugs away and keep us cool. The beach was clean and the waves were a refreshing sound all night at the beach party.

THANK YOU to those that were able to attend and those that could not make it, please plan for the 50th reunion in the year 2023. God willing we are all still around for it.
