What a wonderful week-end! Someone on Sat. said they had smiled so much on
Fri. evening that they went home feeling like their face would never be the same.

I felt the same way. I think I got to know some folks better this
last week-end than I had the whole time we were in school.

Would you mind putting my e-mail address on the blog with my bio?

Thanks again,

In reaction to comments on my Slightdetour blog about the reunion, Janis Puz said...

Marianne, You are Ab-SO-lutely right on! Whenever I get a box of chocolates I take a little bite out of each one and then gobble my favorites in entirety. I find that when I get to the last remaining chocolates, which I think are my least favorites (and that maybe I really don't like them at all), I discover that they too are pretty darn delicious.

And so it was for me with classmates I never really knew in high school but had a chance to talk to a bit during our reunion weekend. There was not one person there that I did not thoroughly enjoy and I want another box of chocolates right away! We did have a great class!

Chocolates are my favorites too...and the variety adds to the pleasure. It was great to see old friends and touch base with classmates that are a part of choice memories.

Thanks to the committee for all their work. Time given for everybody to say a word was much appreciated by me.

I guess in my own selfish world I did not realize how many served in Vietnam. Thanks to them and all those who are willing to do so now. I do hope your leaders are wise in where our troops are sent.....and of course that those for whom they fight are willing to stand beside each trooper...OK enough for now!

You and the reunion team did a fantastic job! The pictures are great--I even like my own picture which is unusual. I was glad I went Fri. night. I appreciate all the work you continue to do on the blog. Thanks for a job well done. Charlene

Thank you again for a wonderful reunion. Wasn't it great to visit with friends after some 40 years. Maurine Marks should run for office...

I think Bonnie, Kurt, Ralph, and his wife plus myself left the golf course @ 11:30. Surprised we were up that late but with the full knowledge we had not golfed or hiked that day. Like in the movies, they turned the sprinklers on and we decided they may be trying to tell us something.

Great fun to the last wave goodbye....Thanks!

Blessings,

Karen

Reunion was fun! Bet you were tired!!!!! I was sorry some of the Friday night attendees that I did not see didn’t come back on Saturday. Would have been fun to see them too. Maybe they saw whom they wanted to see on Friday….

What a kick to see Greg McFarland after all of these years! Really enjoyed his wife, Mel.

What did you think? Success must be the word.

Take care.

Karen

What a wonderful time. I was totally exhausted from the "hike" but
exhilerated from meeting and renewing all the old friendships from SHS.

Before I forget - the hike certainly awoke a few muscles that had taken a 40
year or was that a 50 year nap. I will have to give them some stretching to
keep up the shape to try again in 5 years.

That certainly is God's country. Trees, trees and more trees. We have a few, but they are not as tall, luxurious or prolific. I placed my rocks in a specific "remembrance" spot in my rock garden. I will save a spot for the five year's addition from the mountain of torture and fun. I enjoyed that more than I can say.

It was so good to just get away, do something different and then stuff down the
Tylenol to ease the pain of the fun.

Looking forward to the blog - which I finally found and bookmarked. What a fun and exciting way to keep up with all the classmates. I had never heard of a blog before. Thought it might be something like a bog which keeps getting sucked in but not this one - it keeps people coming back for more.

Thanks again.
