To Miss Pam and the wonderful class of 1963.

What a spectacular and wonderful 50th reunion, so sorry we missed all the other ones. That won't  happed again with the help of God.  5 years can't wait. The event was done up with so much class couldn't expect anything less from good old Andover kids ( I mean that in a good way ). Nothing but the best as always Andover High was always class action and we still got it going on. Just look at the great time we all had.... I'm sure all who attended appreciated all the hard work that went into making this reunion a fantastic event. Hats off to the committee for  all their dedicated hard work. It  was a huge sucess! Many thanks to Pam, Gayle, and George ( A.K.A.) mouse. The hall looked beautiful, the food was great, the web sight is the best it could be (GREAT)  and Irv you did a wonderful job on the pictures. Many thanks to you all your the BEST... to say the least.  With our blessings to you all from the bottom of our hearts till we see each and all again, stay well.  See you in 5 years!!!!

                     Marilyn (Miller) DeGregorio and Al        :-)      to all !!!!!!

Hello all of you wonderful people. Now that the dust has settled, please let me add my thanks to all of you that made the reunion possible. It was a joy to contemplate, a joy to be there, and a joy to begin reestablishing old friendships. It made my heart sing to see so many folks that I could actually remember and so many of you that are more vague in my memory. It will all become clearer as I turn to the Year Book and then meet you again. Thanks again, Tom Coffman

         The 50 year reunion was wonderful!  What a great idea for having it over two days!  Just gives folks more time to catch up with long lost classmates.  Pam T. did a great job on the decorations!  Gayle was our detective-  She is a hound dog at tracking down missing classmates.  George was good at making personal phone calls and locating data on deceased classmates.  George, Gayle and Pam are to be commended for pulling it all together during the final month of preparations!   And for all those months previous-  much thanks to Cathy Wojtkun for organizing the tour of our old high school-kudos to Dianne May for doing much behind the scenes legwork of diligently keeping track of all the checks coming in, and making a speadsheet, etc. and to Jackie Boulanger for making up the prizes, souvenirs, etc. And also for saving the day by making lovely bracelets for our sweet school tour guides. It is only fair to say that the success of this reunion was a true joint venture- of ALL of the above!   

Pamela Richardson

     OOOPS!  I must have had a brain-fart while writing the above thank you message!  I forgot to include Kathy Ammon and her daughter Leigh for their hard work at making our graduation pictures badges!  These came in handy after 50 years of not seeing someone! I would never INTENTIONALLY EXCLUDE any of our classmates who truly extended themselves in many ways to make this reunion such a delight!  Once again- thanks to ALL of you: Gayle Dufton, Mouse Bentley, Pam Thomas, Kathy Ammon and daughter Leigh, Dianne May, Jackie Boulanger and last but definately not least, Cathy Wojtkun!!  And we are all grateful for our class photographer- Irv Stowers.  All of you guests who came- wow!!!- ya came from near and far!!!!  God bless you all!  See ya in 5 years!!!!  Hugs, Pam

Nancy Hart (O'Brien)

Thanks to all who arranged everything. I hope others enjoyed themselves as much as I did!

I think everyone there was aware of what a milestone the 50th & spreading over 2 days a stroke of genius!

Best to all & hoping for a redo another 5 years.       Stay well,   Nancy Hart O'Brien

Pamela Richardson

     Many thanks to our unsung hero (heroine?)-  Ginny (Hall) Dickens!!  I surely am prone to brain-farts, because I omitted this great gal in my litany of thank yous!  We all were grateful for the Class Creator , for which our    Ginny was wholly responsible!  It gave us the opportunity to at least read many updates, and also to communicate with long lost friends even prior to the reunion!!!!    THANK  YOU  Ginny- from  all of us!

Hi Ya'll, Thanksgiving is such a wonderful and unique American Holiday!  Thanks to the suggestion of Cathy Wojtkun,  Jackie (Boulanger) Atkinson and I were part of a group who assembled goodies to send to our American Soldiers overseas.  This act of giving to others made the holiday very meaningful!  Cathy was left with the task of packing and mailing a bunch of boxes overseas!  But ever a bundle of energy, Cathy gladly did this!  God bless all of you- and let's all count our blessings!  Love, Pam Richardson  

Jacqueline Atkinson (Atkinson)

It was a wonderful day, Pam. Spending it with great friends and family makes it even more meaningful.  I would love to see the smiles on the faces of our Service Men and Women when they open those boxes full of Christmas and Holiday cheer and love. 

Pamela Thomas

There is something called "Paying It Forward" which people such as myself think of others no matter where they are located, These souls are perhaps down on their luck or have other concerns that sadly might be out of their control. Just think how you can put a  on someone's face  by perhaps paying for their coffee at Double D's...a little token but, a wonderful feeling knowing that a gesture that you offered, as small as it might be, will be welcomed with surprise, gratitude and a "thank you"....that puts a  on my face!

Donna DuFault (Proctor)

It is so nice to have the website to continue to connect with everyone. I had an awesome Thanksgiving as well, and am looking forward to spending Christmas at my brother's house in the White Mountains. Last year we got up Christmas morning to see snowflakes. My newest grandnephew was so excited to see his first snow! Being around the wee ones makes Christmas that much more fun. My brother has five grandchildren and between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I get to play with them all. I have so much to be grateful for!

See you at "Bone Builders", Pam R!

Jackie, we have to get together again soon. Maybe you, Pam and I can meet at "How's Your Onion" for lunch when she gets back.

Karen Swenson (Burns)

To all, my wishes for a wonderful holiday season. It IS a wonderful time of the year ~ there is nothing like family and friends to warm our hearts.

There are just so many blessings in my life, and one of them is growing up in this town, and having so many great life-long friends. I do thank God everyday!! And I thank you all for your friendship.

Thanksgiving was wonderful, and I am so looking forward to Christmas! Hope you all have a beautiful holiday season, and a safe and healthy New Year!!

My best to all,

Karen (Swenson) Burns
