Well, we did it! This was, I think, the reunion to beat all reunions. The band was absolutely the best (I was hearing “WOW!!”s all over the place), and I can’t think of 300 hundred people I would rather spend a weekend with. Plus, this was the best birthday I could have imagined.
Thanks to everyone who came . . . each one of you added something special to the mix. And the reunion committee worked together like a finely tuned watch. Jan Nichols Blankenburg shouldered the responsibility for all the hard stuff (while I sat in Denver and did the fun things). Jan thought of every possible detail – seriously, who would think of fogging for mosquitoes?? Certainly not me! The committee in Cleveland did so much to get everything done well and on time. I am blown away by the wonder of it all.
This website will remain here and will be updated regularly, so please check back. The message board will also be there, and some of us would appreciate it if more people would start posting about what THEY are doing instead of checking in to see what the same 3-4 people have added. We’re a big, spread-out community, and we want to know what’s happening with all of you. Especially if we didn’t get a chance to see you at the reunion.
Please add any comments you might have on the message board, and check back regularly to see pictures and other surprises that will be appearing as time goes on. If you haven’t yet registered on the message board, please click here.
So, we have set the bar high. On to the 45th! And next summer we are going to have an informal get-together similar to our Friday night at The Links (either there again, or somewhere else) for those in the Cleveland area and any others (like me) who are willing to make the trip.
