Hi Maureen,
Andrea and Wendy told me about this website. Thanks for including me even though I didn't graduate from BG. I don't know if I'll be able to travel to Indiana (from CA) twice in the same year ... because I will have to go to my parent's 50th Anniversary also in 2009 and travelling could get expensive ... but it would be awesome to see you guys. This website you did is so cool (and the top 10 is so funny).

Stacy- I sent out an email a few weeks ago, and mentioned the weekend thing. No one responded back about it. We did talk in the beginning about having a family thing on Sunday, and even things going on during the day on Saturday: golf outing, motorcycle run, spa day for the girls, etc. We can even have a casual get together Friday night someplace. I'll get the ball rolling with that, look back at the surveys and see what everyone voted to do with it.
Keep your ears open to what everyone wants. We want to make sure we plan something that everyone wants to do!!

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

Okay everyone!!! I just reviewed the survey you took as to what you wanted to include with the reunion weekend. (this was done way back last spring...) I can start it again if you want, considering we've had more people join the site since then.

5 people chose to do something Friday night, Saturday night, and the Sunday family picnic.
15 people chose to have Saturday night reunion, and family picnic Sunday.
12 people chose the Saturday night reunion only.

I don't mind adding the family picnic Sunday, but remember- lots of people live out of town. Would this be a bring your own food/drinks, thing? That's something we'll have to keep in mind. I'll email the girls so we can start brainstorming ideas.

Let me know what you're thinking!! It's time to get the ball rolling on this!
Maureen

Look to your left, and click on "Reunion Poll". I'm going to run it again to see what everyone would like to do about the reunion!!! We've had lots of activity on here, so I'll give it a few days to make sure everyone has had a chance to respond.

Hey Guys,
There are a group of us on Facebook!! We're working on having live chat on this site- but you can chat with your friends on Facebook now!! There is also a special group for us...Boone Grove Class of 1989!! Check it out!

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

Results are tied right now at 14 each as far as keeping the reunion one night only, or adding an extra family picnic on Saturday or Sunday!

Kerry Galvin Kelley

Keep checking the "Before and After" page, you may be next! We'll try to update this page, at a minimum, once a week!

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!!
Has anyone seen the before and after pages!? I'd have to say... Grovers age well!!

Ruth Bartholomew Kimmel

I read the remembrances for Jack Neitzel. What are the circumstances surrounding his death?

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

He died in a motorcycle accident in Florida.

Ruth Bartholomew Kimmel

Sorry to hear that. When did it happen?

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

It's been a few years now. I can't remember exactly when, though.

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

Okay~ I want to know.....who is going to win the poker re-match: Christine, or Greg?
What's your vote?!

Stacy Leake Peres

Poker rematch??? Clueless, but Pokerface, I hope they play it at the reunion!!!

Stacey Landgrebe Hoover

P-P-P-Pokerface...... I'd like to hear that one, too!!! LOL!

Christine Bilbrey Taylor

Oh Christine is definately going to win the P P P P P Poker tournament. Maybe Greg hasn't heard but he can't read my poker face!

Kerry Galvin Kelley

Christine will kick his butt!!!

Amy Patterson

I'd like to hear anything from Billy Idol, DefLeopard, The Outfield and of course John Mellencamp

Andrea Kosior Ottersen

Can we get a casual Pre-party Grover Style started for Friday night --7/24/09 -- at 7:00 at Semento's?? I can't make the party on Saturday, but would love to see and talk to everyone!!!

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

Andrea- Pam Schmidt was asking about getting together Friday. Contact her, and I know Stacy Leake asked about it. It's not something that Kerry, Stacy, and I are planning- we're leaving that up to you guys. :o)

James Saqui

Semento's it is... I'll be there around 8. It gets crowded a bit later there but 8 should be cool. The back deck is open! I live about 2 min. from there so I doubt I'll be late. See ya! ~ J.

Tanya Sanders Martin

Thank you Maureen, Kerry, and Stacey for such a great reunion! It was great seeing everyone :)

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

Thank you Tanya!! It was a blast, and great to see everyone after all these years!
We're going to have to start planning something smaller, little get togethers once a year or something. We have too much fun together to wait another five-ten years!
Okay, now someone get on that, will ya? :o)

Ed Tharp

That sounds great. I really hated missing the reunion and would love to see everyone.

Maureen Dacey Van De Water

Hi Guys!
The class of '88 is trying to put together a reunion on October 17th at Semento's. I just found out that they're opening it up to anyone from BG who graduated in classes 86-89. (Although, I'm sure they won't turn you away if you graduated in '91!!!) :o)

If you think you might go, let Missy Pruitt, or Heidi Hanson know on Facebook. (or reply here, and I'll let them know for you.) They probably just need to let Semento's know so that they can staff accordingly.
