MISSING CLASSMATES

Reggie  asked that I forward his letter to our classmates.  We should all be thankful for the great job he and his helpers did for the 65th Rrunion.  I have had several comment that "it was the best ever!!!"

Dear 1961 Class Members

First, what a special privilege it was to head up the 65th reunion. Visiting with as many of you as I had contact information for was a real treat.

To those who wanted to be there but couldn't attend, we sincerely missed you. We also understand the challenges some of you face, and we send our faith and prayers your way.

To those who attended the reunion, thank you for your effort; it was so good to see you. It is easy to set a table, but the guests are the ones who make the effort and become the life of the party. And what a party we had!

I (we) want to thank Tam and Clair for the wonderful venue and their hospitality.

Linda Romer, Ruby Arbon, and Linda Holmgren knocked it out of the park with yummy cookies and Cake. Thank you so much; it was a lot of work…especially at 83!

I want to thank Porter for helping send out notices to all the classmates; it was critical to the success of the reunion. We also thank him for the beautiful prayer, in which he offered a blessing on all the class members, especially those with challenges.

The table settings and centerpieces were beautiful, thanks to Carole and Sherrill Dean. I think the two of them are designated for this job since they store the items from year to year. Thanks, ladies, you worked so hard. I appreciate Sherrill Dean’s advice and suggestions so much, it made it fun.

A special thanks to Julie Krey for the name tags, otherwise, at our age, how would we know who is who, right?

Hats off to Rees Roundy for the decorative balloon bouquets and the story that goes with them.

To Steve Petersen, Julie Krey, and Tam Holmgren, you still have it! Thank you for leading us in a couple of cheers. Garland Puzey would be proud of you. 

To our dramatic reader, Madam Lynette Rogers, thank you for putting a smile on our faces.

A special thank you to our Veterans and Jerry Capener, who led us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Terry Wood, with the voice, read the tribute to the class associated with the class picture and did a great job. Thanks, Terry.

What would a class reunion be without great food? Thanks to The Grille and Kristy Spencer & Crew, we had a wonderful dinner.

Again, for me, it was an honor and a privilege to help facilitate this reunion with your help. Thank you so much.

Reggie

WATCH REUNION MUSICAL NUMBER

ON YOUTUBE

Many of you are aware that Julie's son-in-law Matt took some video of the musical number at the 60th Class Reunion.  

Although I worked with computers a lot during my 30 year career with the government, I am still a student of the 60's and don't always understand how to do things.  I have tried to forward the videos to a lot of people, but the files are so big that they don't always arrive.

I explored something different.   I have downloaded the videos to YouTube (hopefully you are familiar with YouTube).

Please log on to YouTube and search for the videos.  There are 3 separate videos. Type in the title shown in bold face type:

Bear River Class of 61 #1  (This video shows the "entertainers" tuning up)

Bear River Class of 61 #2  (This video is of the musical number)

Bear River Class of 61 #3. (This video is of audience participation in a Sing A Long)

PLEASE Let me know if you are able to view.  Hopefully my instructions are not too confusing.

HERE ARE THE WORDS TO THE SONG (WRITTEN BY LYNNETTE):

WE’RE HERE FROM BEAR RIVER  HIGH

WE’RE HERE TO-NIGHT  ‘CAUSE WE’RE STILL ALIVE

COULD BE LAST APPEARANCES –

WALKING OUR FINAL DISTANCES

WE MAY BE LOOKING ELDERLY

AND WE MIGHT WALK UNSTEADILY

BUT WE’RE AS SHARP AS EVER WE WERE

AND WE HOPE YOU ALL CONCUR

TWO BAD SHOULDERS IGOT EM  FIXED

MY MEMORY TEST RESULTS WERE MIXED

DOC SAID GET SOME PREVAGEN

I THINK I TOOK SOME, NOT SURE WHEN

SOME SAY IT HELPS MY MEMORY

THAT MIGHT BE TRUE, BUT  IT DIDN’T HELP ME!

SOME NIGHTS I JUST CAN NOT SLEEP

AND ADULT DEPENDS AREN’T CHEAP!

MY KIDS TELL ME WHAT TO DO

I JUST TELL THEM THAT’S NOT UP TO YOU

THEY ASK IF I’M TOO OLD TO DRIVE

“YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE

I AM NOT EIGHTY FIVE!”

THE KIDS THINK I AM OVER WEIGHT

THEY SAY I SHOULD REHAB-U-LATE!

EXERCISE AND WALK A LOT OR

I’LL BE IN THE FAMILY PLOT!

LARGE PRINT HELPS ME WHEN I READ;

TWO HEARING AIDS I ALSO NEED

BOTH KNESS RE-PLACED SUGICALLY

THAT’S NOT THE ONLY ADVERSITY 

NOW I MUST WEAR WHAT I WOULDN’T HAVE CHOSE

AN UGLY PAIR OF SUPPORTING HOSE!

WAIT TILL THE KIDS READ MY LAST WILL

I’VE SPENT IT ALL, THEY’RE GETTING NIL!
