To my Tolentine Classmates of '75,

As the echoes of our fantastic 50th high school reunion fade, my heart is still brimming with warmth and gratitude. What a truly memorable weekend we shared!

I want to extend a special thank you to my fellow organizers: Kathy Halleran Burke, Helen Fallon Hallinan, Mary Ellen Crane Falco, Michael Huvane, Bobby Baldrian, and Michael Mitchell. Your dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm were instrumental in making this milestone celebration such a resounding success. From the initial planning stages to the final farewells, your commitment shone through, and I am deeply appreciative of each and every one of you. It would be great if those that attended would drop a note to these wonderful people for all their hard work.

It was particularly wonderful to reconnect with so many of you, and a special highlight was seeing some new faces – classmates we haven't had the pleasure of seeing in the past fifty years! Catching up and sharing stories with everyone truly made the weekend feel complete.

As we reminisced about the "good old days", it's impossible not to feel a touch of nostalgia knowing that our high school is no longer open. However, the spirit of the Class of '75 remains vibrant and strong within each of us. The bonds we forged during those formative years have stood the test of time, and our reunion was a powerful reminder of the enduring friendships we share. It always amazes me how although we may not see each other on a regular basis, how quickly our youthful selves come out in each of us to celebrate our bonds and memories.

Though our school may be closed, we, the Class of '75, will always have each other. Let's continue to stay connected, cherish these memories, and look forward to future opportunities to gather.

Thank you again for making our 50th reunion such a joyful and unforgettable experience.

Sincerely,

Pat
