ENTRANCE TO "MONTELEONE MEADOWS"..... home/business of our classmate, Mike Monteleone and his amazing wife Hennie..... without them .... this would NOT have been possible! THANK YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH!!!
Some of the beautiful "classic cars" that lined the path to the entrance! The first 2 there are Larry Mitchell's! Thanks to all who brought their vehicles.... Including Mike M and Larry Wurth's cute little red baby!
Mike on his Beautiful Harley!
Great looking cars .... thanks guys!!
Where else can you have your class reunion with Buffalo and those big horned thingies (that is the technical term) next to the parking lot. Interesting pets that Mike has, eh?
Some of the great people who helped with the decorating....missing in photo are, Patrick Gonzales, Jerry Meirowsky, and Larry Mitchell did so much and is off dusting his beautiful custom cars he brought to place by the entrance. Great idea Judy Shaffer Sedler!
More of the Saturday Morning Decorators.... guess they are done, eh?! LOL

Larry Mitchell had a vision of banners/photo collages, and so I did the collages and he printed them out on his great printer.... Thanks Larry! More Team work!!
Beautiful venue.... the decorating is done..... the excitement grows and the scene is set for the most amazing 50th Class Reunion of all time!
It will soon be FULL of Classmates....
Some of the Memory Photo Banners that I put together and sent to Larry Mitchell, and he printed them out on his special printer!
Amazing all the things from the "early years" that I saved! :)
Tri-Fold honoring our classmates that have died far too soon...... sadly the very next day, we had to add our W'63 classmate, Sandy Stewart. R.I.P. Sandy....
This photo and the next one, are Tri-Folds that Pam Davey Wren, Gail Espitallier Raabe and Sharyn Eliot Gailey put together.... well done ladies!
Tons of fun memories right here on ONE table!!
Maybe we should have put a photo print of Mary Ann Barretta Meirowsky (Ramblerette outfit) and Larry Wurth (Letterman Sweater) on Pam's mannequin's, for their faces. LOL

Sorry class, but I think a group of 3rd graders would have been more attentive and cooperate better.... haaa haaa.... I ordered the offical one, so will post it when I get it. :) Gina Cornett Neff and I are right behind the little palm tree in the middle.... great seeing you Gina!
WHAT A GREAT LOOKING REUNION COMMITTEE..... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP... IT WAS A GREAT TEAM EFFORT!! Photo is missing Monica Paul Wimmer and Ron Curtis, who both help on our Team effort!

My voice was gone, so I asked Bill Gaffaney to please honor Monica Paul Wimmer, who launched our Class website and loaded all the classmates onto it. She has bad health issue and could not attend our reunion afterall :( THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO, MONICA! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201151369929997&set=o.307796529291688&type=2&theater

This was hilarious. There were 2 couples amongst our classmates that had been married to each other for "50 YEARS". They asked all the guys in the room that had dated either of the gals, Janice McClintock Curtis (Ron Curtis), or Charlene Hoover DeBrouwer (Vic DeBrouwer) to come up and return the girl's locker key into a bucket at this time. (Of course the DJ had passed a key out to every male classmate in the room. LOL https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201151576615164&set=vb.1342277068&type=2&theater
Well, no 50th SGHS Class Reunion or any party, for that matter, would be complete without all the crazies dancing to the YMCA tune.... LOL Such FUN!!! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201158576310152&set=vb.1342277068&type=2&theater
Mike Monteleone says that in 5 years we just might want to do this all over again.... loving that idea!! SGHS 63' and 64', Classmates biding farewells at the Sunday Morning Breakfast.... 3 full days of such fun and uniting of old friends and making new memories and sharing our stories of High School years.... we are so blessed to have grown up in such a wonderful time.... the "Happy Days"....
