Jerry Javenkoski (Javenkoski) Good point Jodie, I would agree the forum "asks" for everyone's opinion. I guess the original message should have been straight to Sarah. My natural tendancy is to protect the right to disagree without being personally attacked. I guess I saw her in that position. Anyway, I am glad the topic is changing.

See you at the 25 year. I love the PAC, Let's skip the bowling but move to a bar with more space, the price was reasonable, thanks to all who gave extra $ --on both nights for more beer.

Oh, I got triangulated by 3 cops at 3am as I awaited the taxi. Hands were on their guns in the end--all over the big camera bag and their thinking I had a weapon inside.
You'll have to call or see me in person for the whole story. 954-1828.

Dawn Gilbert (Biechler) thank you Jerry for the comments. I was just letting my opinion be known not to be negative. I really did have a good time at the picnic I just would have loved to see more people there.

To Todd Rammer -- Just wanting to clarify what you said --Did you say you felt like ASS - or - like AN ASS? Especially after telling one of our classmates that she has a FAT ASS! Honestly, is that really what you say to someone you haven't seen for 20 years? And can you please explain why you got home at 4:30am? :) I know, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone! Just promise that at our next reunion you will be a bit more tactful!

I wanted to say that I had a blast last weekend! Thank you to everybody who organized and volunteered to make the reunion a sucess! It really was great seeing so many people again. I wish I could have had more time to spend with the people I haven't seen for years. I am looking forward to the next one. I am always willing to help with any planning of our reunions, and I realize what a big task that might be. I have heard since the reunion from a few people that they didn't get invited, but I did explain that it was all done through the website. I can't even imagine the job of trying to contact as many people as we had in our class! However, there were still MANY people who did hear about it and came to one or more of the events, and it was all a great time! :) So thank you to everybody who was a part of the planning and executing! Everybody, please keep in touch, and I look forward to seeing you all again at the next reunion! :)

Jerry Javenkoski (Javenkoski) Thanks Andrea for your comments, they mean a lot. I did bust my butt getting all those photos. I can't wait to get them edited, cropped, etc. And especially--POSTED. Peace & love to all

I also just wanted to extend my "thank you" to the reunion committee. I cannot imagine the sheer amount of time and planning it took to design/maintain the website and plan/produce all the events. You all really did an excellent job and I regret not telling some of you personally. So, thank you for all the work you did (and continue to do), and for making the reunion a very special event for so many of us.

Ann Merkel (Obermeier) The reunion was great fun even though I could only make it Friday night due to a family wedding on Saturday. It was great to see everyone again. I actually did have a hangover on Saturday. Great job to all who helped in the planning and would love to see the video that was shown on Saturday. See ya all at the next reunion! 5 years?

Jeannie Wachs Sorry I missed the union, really did not know about it. Sounds like it was real fun.

Todd Rammer To Jill and everyone, just to clear the air, I was only agreeing with the girl that said she had a big ASS. And I was saying that I liked her big butt, and to be truthful, it really wasn't that big, mine is bigger than hers. You got to love alcohol. "I never went to bed with an ugly women, but I woke up with a bunch" LOL Take care everyone and see you in five???

Todd Rammer My secret is out damn!! Now Jon, you and I can finally be together, I always knew we had something special... LOL I can't even write this with a straight face. Too funny. Anyway, how could I compete with Tank.

07/28/08 03:58 PM	#71
Jeff Timmerman The time is almost here for Fischer to kick ass in the chicken wing eating championships. Hey I think it is going to be on espn or the food network channel, mid August. Jon can you let us know what date it is and time or do they tape it and replay it on a later date. Later the Tank.

Jodie Eggert (VanLyssel)

Hi ya'll....
I have been chatting back & forth with a few people & there seems to be some interest in getting together for happy hour. I'm not much of a planner & I don't want to leave anybody out, so if anyone is interested & have some ideas about good happy hour places shoot me an e-mail with some suggestions & the dates that you are available...(Thurdays & Fridays usually work best for me, but we can mix it up). I will do my best to pick a time when everyone can make it, but I know some might be hit & miss. Not everyone will be able to make it to every happy hour, but lets try to meet maybe once or twice a month & see how it goes...we can mix it up with different places & different days of the week too...& I promise, we won't have to pay to get in either......I don't want to wait until the next class reunion to see everyone.... let me know what ya'll think...
I look forward to hearing from you.

Jodie Eggert (VanLyssel) Oops, I almost forgot...I will post the details here on the message forum for everyone...that way no one gets left out. Love to all! Jodster

07/28/08 11:26 PM	#74
Jerry Javenkoski (Javenkoski) I'm in. Thursdays are probably best. I like Firefly/Bazils, and Drinks Inc. However none have any free food for happy hour. Some Fridays & Saturdays may also work but that really depends on the weekend. See you locals soon! Peace!

I wanted to say thank you to the reunion planning committee for a job well done. I appreciate all of the time & effort that went into making this event a success. I think the website was a brilliant idea that really let people connect with one another again over time before actually meeting face to face.

My only regret is I was only able to make the PAC event, so didn't get to talk to as many folks as I would have liked.

I can start to rectify that locally at least... so COUNT ME IN for happy hours in Appleton!

07/30/08 09:46 AM	#76
Lisa Johnson (Bohlmann) Happy Hour sounds great...I wasnt able to go to the reunion myself, but, have enjoyed talking to people thru the website and would love to see and talk to more, so count me in as well! As for a place, Dino's bar has a good happy hour daily from 3-7 which includes food...which seems may be important too some from previous posts??? lol

I want to thank the planning committee (I know it's a little beyond that now, but better late than never!)for all of the hard work you all put into this whole thing. This website was a fantastic idea! I'm sad that I ended up missing the whole entire weekend of events. It sure looks like everyone had a wonderful time. I'm really enjoying the pics everyone is putting up, keep them coming! Anyways, I would like to get a vote in for a 25 yr reunion...I am NOT missing another one and we probably, really should keep them close before everyone get too unrecognizable!!! If anyone is ever out this way (it's only Waupaca!) let me know...it would be nice to get the chance to see some of you! Tootles!!

Check this out.

I am so confused about why the most important picture taken this reunion weekend has not been posted. Could somebody please post it to their profile for me. If I post it in my profile, then I have to be cautious and hassle with blurring out BARTLEY's haireeeeee nutsack. You guys are a bunch of freaken liars, he does not shave those guys.

After 10th frame, 6:00 a.m. in GRIFFIN'S front yard, seeing who can chip a golf ball the furthest naked---winner takes $10.00.

Thanks for drinking way to much that night BARTLEY. I will cherish that photo for a lifetime.

Ok, so I really had a good time! To all the ladies who flirted with my husband…thank you! I kinda lost him for about an hour or two. To everyone else~ sorry if we didn’t get a chance to talk and I promise to make it up next time. Apparently, we had a great time after the reunion at Chadwick’s???

Calling all local AHS-West classmates, my oldest son is in a band called- McInnis. They will be playing at the 10th Frame on September 13. I am inviting anyone who would like to come out to see the band. We can support the local arts/music scene and have a couple of drinks with old friends. Here is the link to their webpage: http://www.bananasentertainment.com/McInnis%20Main%20Menu.html

Hope to see you there!

If anyone uses Facebook, all photos from the reunion (close to 300) will be on my Facebook site tonight.

I will soon be mailing the CDs of all the photos to Sarah to get them on the reunion web site.

But for a early sneak preview, look for me on Facebook.com. jjjaven, or by Jerry James Javenkoski.

I believe I can also give you Facebook access to the 6 albums if you e-mail me (i.e. send me your e-mail address)

Before the photos hit the web, there are also pictures of some of you with me --under my profile.

Thanks,
Jerry
