*The Jon Resnick "pre-50 year reunion" letter
read by his twin sister Pam Resnick-Ross (above)
Dear Rick and Bill,
First of all, I’d like to express my thanks to both of you and your organizing committee for pulling together the 40th Anniversary Class of ‘73 Reunion. It is a difficult and time-consuming undertaking with little reward.
Unfortunately I can’t make the reunion but thankfully my representative, Pam, will be there (one of the benefits of having a twin!). I’m sure I will hear all about it from her.
At the risk of getting ahead of ourselves – but 10 years will pass very quickly – I was contemplating the reunion for the 50th Anniversary and had some random thoughts I’d like to share.
First, there is a good opportunity at the upcoming 40th to gather some ideas from our classmates on what they might like to see/do for the 50th. Maybe a simple questionnaire could help elicit feedback?
Second, I would bill the 50th as the penultimate reunion – the last one for the Class of ‘73. I don’t think anyone really wants to organize or go to a 60th or beyond. So as it would be the last, there would be a better chance of getting a larger turnout.
Third is venue, always a challenge. My vote for the venue is our old alma mater. I’m sure many people would be interested to see what Nicolet looks like, walk the halls and reminisce. I imagine it’s possible to rent the gym/cafeteria and then have the food and drink catered.
Looking ahead, I kind of see two things happening simultaneously at the 50th reunion:
- The obvious one is people reconnecting with those they hung out with in high school;
- The not-so-obvious one is people discovering how much they may have in common today with people they didn’t hang out with.
For example, someone may have developed a keen interest in photography since high school and there may be many others who have done the same. That shared interest could generate a type of interaction that would take the reunion to another level.
My point here is that although we shared various commonality over a very crucial four years of our lives, we have lived many different lives since then – over a 50-year period – so we need to think about that and see how it can help to enhance the overall reunion experience.
Sorry for the long email. I just wanted to express a few thoughts sparked by the upcoming reunion.
Enjoy the reunion and thanks again for all of your hard work!
Best regards,
Jon Resnick
PS Rick, sorry to hear about your health scare, but glad you are on the mend!
