Congratulations to the entire committee for an outstanding 50th Reunion. Kathy, Andi and Ty for taking the lead Friday night getting the program started and running smoothly. Bob Coogan for reading the letter from Kevin Cook wanting to come but will have to make his appearence at the 55th in 2018. Thank you to Mike Behrens for his comment regarding the feelings he had standing and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Bill Carter for leading us in the Pledge who might not have been at the reunion if not for a cold call from the search committee looking for missing students.
This reunion transported me back fifty years recapturing conversations I never had with students I should have reached out to while in school. It's amazing how easy it is to communicate when all you have to do is just say hello. My name is Marty (Mike to some) and I have been absent for fifty years.
To Tom Dabolt a friend for at least 64 years only because my first recolections only go back just under 4 years, you haven't changed. You are a great friend and laugh so easily.
The hotel, golf club and food was great. Our view on the Niagara River could not have been better.knowing it ended up at the falls, still a great attraction for turists. To this day I remember my dad taking all my aunts, uncles and familes (14) to the falls. Coming back across the Peace Bridge the guard asking where we were born with me sitting on a bag full of fire crackers answering nothing to declare.
Kathy, Andi and Ty you need to keep the 50th core group together. Expanding the committee for the 55th and please include me.
I have a number of photos and some video but will have to wait for my better half of 45 years to helkp me. Stayed tuned.
Thank you to the committee for all your hard work.
Marty
