The O'Club did a beautiful job setting up for our event. We had a memorial table at the entrance honoring our deceased classmates and military. A mannequin wearing my senior band uniform hosted the memory table that displayed a photo album from every play from 8th grade on that Barb Arnold directed. Thank you to Susan Clark for bringing all of our yearbooks (even from middle school!). Thank you to everyone else who shared photos and other memories with the class.

The bar tender was a friendly guy (and great dancer). I appreciate your taking great care of him, as he seemed to be taking great care of us. The cocktail hour offered fruit and cheese to warm everyone up for dinner. Our DJ (Jason Roberts) helped herd all of us to our tables and provided fun trivia about much of the music he was playing from "back in the day," when he was actually on the radio at Z-93 (he moved on before I started working there, but radio is a small world!).

As dinner was winding down, I awarded some gifts and door prizes. Brian Ebersole won a road atlas for being the person who traveled the farthest to join us (more than 2,200 miles). Christy Zambon won a U.S. puzzle for being the person attending that had lived in the most states (8). Nichole Russell won a crystal centipede pin for being the person with the most legs in her house (14). James Hardman won a 3D globe puzzle for being the person who has lived in the most countries (4). I awarded door prizes from The Funny Bone comedy club, Young's Jersey Dairy, Burt's  Bees, and 2GB flash drives engraved with Greenon High School Class of 1989. The table decorations (a knight's helmet bank) were awarded to a member from each table via a sticker on the underside of their chairs (that was fun to watch ).

The staff of the base worked on getting our lighting just right so we could still see eachother to talk and enjoy the music. Everyone danced (nearly everyone, anyway), to everything from Vanilla Ice to the Beasty Boys, and from Frank Sinatra to Rick James.

The party rocked on until midnight when the die-hards headed back to Legend's for a final round. (Seems that a few people had a little trouble getting from one place to another) All together, the evening was great fun. Everyone looked wonderful--the class of 1989 is aging well .
