What an incredible 50th celebration! Both nights were filled with laughter, nostalgia, unforgettable memories, and fun. Seeing so many familiar faces (name tags helped big time) brought back many wonderful moments from our high school days and formative years.
The Gathering Place (Saturday night) had a capacity of 125, and it was packed. A number attending Friday night at David's Pizza were not at the Saturday dinner. It was a great turnout. A big part of life is just showing up, and the Class of 1974 did that big time.
Big thanks to the committee, and the many who traveled from the East Coast, New Orleans, AZ, CA, and the West side. Special thanks to Vickie Gehrke (blessing), Dan Tritle (insights), Ray Milton (elementary school pics coordinator), and Kim O'Brien (great pic – thanks for sharing). For some, this was their first reunion – great to have you.
We grow old. But our LC community, connections, experiences, and friendships will stay forever young. Experiencing our LC tribe together again, made me feel young. It was surreal (Dave Pollock) – what energy, what fun, what a memory – thank you to everyone who showed up! Never let an old soul capture your heart or mind. Until next time tribe, stay safe (get that fire blanket) and be forever young (Rod Stewart inspired). ~~ Bill Franks
