Comments from the 35th reunion Posted Monday, August 9, 2010 12:53 PM
Dear class of 75,
A warm and sincere thank you and hugs go out to Julie, Stacey and MarriAnn for an outstanding job and your dedicated hard work at putting this year’s reunion together.
Being the second reunion I’ve attended, this by far was special. I was truly touched in the heart to hear the many successes each and every one of you has accomplished. Many of you had overcome stressful situations, learned how to make lemonade out of lemons; many had stories of joy and rejoice. The happiest stories I heard dealt with serving people or communities, you know who I’m talking about, I commend you for such a sacrifice in your life….but I know the joy and rewards that come with those type of sacrifices. It took me many years to find out life isn’t about how much we make, or the material things we posses, it’s really all about people and how we treat one and the other.
Reminiscing the past with many of you brought up tears of laughter, although I think the trophy goes to Mark Schirripa telling his story regarding football; waiting for the coach to call him into the game….you have a heart of gold Mark!
Time zoomed by that night and I apologize to those I did not get a chance to talk with. By 11:00 PM I was exhausted and had many miles to drive before I’d lay my head down. I did not say goodbye to anyone as I left, it was my intention, for I hope and pray to see you all again soon.
For those of you who could not make it this time, maybe next time; you were missed.
I thank all of you for your respect, courtesy and kindness. May all of you and yours continue on a joyful and healthy path seeking the wisdom and knowledge that is so vastly offered in our day and age.
May God bless you always,
kelly ellis :-)

RE: Comments from the 35th reunion Posted Monday, October 11, 2010 09:43 PM How very kind of you Kelly. You know, it was great to hear about YOUR life too! I'm just glad you were able to make it, with all your car troubles, and not finding a place close by to stay :) It was a pleasure to see you and talk a little bit. One of my goals next time, is to spend much more time visiting with every person there. I think I spend too much time "doing" and not enough just "being". And hopefully my husband can make it as well! We love ya Kel!!!!! Next time you're over in this area, come on by and we'll go to dinner. :) Julie |
