What else can I say? What a reunion! Everyone said it was the best one ever. 60+ classmates, ~ 20 spouses, 5 teachers. So many smiling folks, so much laughter! We all acted like we had seen each other just yesterday...unbelievable!
It was a bit nerve-wracking when several people said they were coming at the last minute. We worried if we would have enough food. That turned out to not be a problem. Plenty of food to go around! The tables were set with white tablecloths and red napkins, red and white carnations in vases, one vase for each of those classmates who are no longer with us. photos attached of the deceased. Beautiful tributes.
The teachers were thrilled to be asked to the party. It was so nice to see some of our favorite educators, now in their 70's. My favorite American history teacher looked great. My world history teacher actually remembered where I had sat in class. The football coaches were happy to be there...lots of football guys to reminisce with. We asked the question, "Who remembered the score of the big rivalry game in 1969?" They all shouted out the correct answer like it was that day...who could forget that? We gave away prizes for the people who traveled the farthest, had the oldest and youngest children, sent in the last reunion responses. It was a fun activity.
The class photo was fun...serious and non-serious poses! It was the largest group we had ever had. We were the last and best class from my high school...and we truly believe it.
