WOW did we ever have a Great Reunion!!!

The weather cooperated and the Reunion started at 7 pm. Normandie Farm did an outstanding job for us and between our two classes, we were approximately 200 strong.  Mark Zell '70 - trumped Elyse Goldsmith for traveling the farthest distance to join us (Israel vs. Alaska) - but we had friends from Florida, Colorado, California, Washington State, Maine, NC, SC and many other states in attendance along with us locals. 

The smiles, hugs and reconnecting made all the up front work worth it. We had live music for about an hour and a half. Thanks go to Jack Worthington and Donny Owen with a special appearance by Bill Wadhams who dedicated a beautiful Blind Faith tribute to our lost friend Dennis Walston. 

Betty Hinze and Gary Lloyd set up a lovely table to remember our other passed classmates and we had a special table for mementos from back in the day - with a couple of donated year books (thank you John Scheurer), our class picture and many other fun reminders of our collective past. Of course there was great food, a couple of bars, a big patio and tent and lively conversations all over the place.

The word is that everyone had a great time and it was over too fast. Thank you all for making this Reunion so very special .

Feel free to post your own pictures, too! 

To those of you who couldn't make it, you were missed. Try hard to come the next one (hopefully we'll have one).

If you know of or can locate other classmates, please send me email addresses so we can get them on this Class Creator site. We are missing over 400 - someone knows where some of these folks are so please share! 

Until we meet again, stay safe, well and in touch. And thank you to everyone who worked so hard on our reunion team - we pulled off a super great event!!! 

Best - 

Sue Alexander Sonley and your '71 Reunion Team: Betty Hinze Howard, Tom Fauquier, Lauren Monroe Hatten, Karen Hodge May and Ben White - plus the Reunion Team from the Class of '70 who did a stellar job, too.  Many hands make light work!
