A success
Thanks to all who attended this weekend's reunion. We committee members are blown away and thrilled with the memories of a phenomenal time had by all. Your individual expressions of sincere appreciation meant so much to all of us.
Our lifetime bond, as classmates who've gone out into the world from our beloved high school, has become reinvigorated. Now, we look ahead to 2010 when we'll meet again.
As promised, I'll post additional bios as they come in. I'll send addresses to whoever did not take the blog booklet. Let me know if you need them. I'll also post email addresses on your bio after receiving permission from you. Send to malove@imbris.net.
Also, I'd love to post a combination of shining moments from the reunion which you would like to share. We couldn't all be in the same place at the same time, so we'd love to read anecdotes of events you count as special.
Among the many for me was listening to Maurine Marks Wheatley, who'd just completed a long road trip from North Carolina to arrive in time for the reunion. Maurine has spent the past year in China teaching English.
After several months of knowing about the class blog, she told me she couldn't seem to connect with it to read the postings. Later, she surmised that her inability to pull up the blog might have something to do with freedom of speech and living in China. Maurine's reaffirmation of the many benefits we take for granted as Americans was nothing short of poignant.
So, send your thoughts. We'll maintain this blog as long as there's interest.
Thanks again for the memories. How sweet they are!
