Mark and Audra, Shirley, Denise 40th Reunion

The Sexagenarian 46th Year Reunion wasn't 

 a significant number by any means,

 

♦'BIG 50'♦

In 4 Short Years?!

Reunions aren't about...

Waistlines, Hairlines, or Credit lines
They're about Lifelines
It's about reconnecting with our friends from some of the best years of our lives...
It's about caring for our classmates, teachers and their families - our families!
♦ Recoginize ♦
We're not getting older...We're becoming a classic!
Make plans to reconnect with someone today,

you'll be glad you did!

Life is fleeting...

All classmates involved in planning the

'BIG 50'

Reunion will partake in the Sexagenarian 'Slush fund'

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you,

who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,

sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."

outstanding service,

response, support and communicating system all in one place.

You can't get that from any other web site!

on the internet used specifically for communicating for all sorts of reunions:

e.g.: Military, Class, Medical, College, Family, High School, Jr. High School
