Well, I'd say the committee could pat themselves on the back - great reunion.  Everyone had a fantastic time.  Perhaps the best reunion yet!  I was shocked when the first time I looked at my watch and it was 9:55.  By then we hadn't gotten to questions for prizes or trivia.  Passing the mike A(mic) around was a good idea.  Of course, one never knows what anyone would say but it was interesting here from everyone no matter what they said and some were so comical.  Everyone enjoyed it.  I'd say people came to talk and connect with their "young friends that have somehow aged like over the past 50 years".  We had a good looking class who turned out to be some good looking adults!

Just wanted to add also what a great job you all did.  It really was great fun.  Russ, who was not keen on going, truly enjoyed the evening.  The passing of the mic was fantastic because there were people there that I never would have recognized.  We really did have a great class.

Peter Rubin sent an email - Awesome weekend.  Take a bow committee!  We all had a terrific time, despite some delays in recognizing each other and making the connection between current and high school appearance.  Best of all for me was the microphone passed around the class on Saturday night.  I hope the web site will stay active and those of us who re-connected will stay that way.  Maybe one last blast e-mail about that would be useful.  Thank you for all your planning and work.  Cheers.
