Greetings from my heart in deep appreciation for everyone’s support for our class 55th reunion.
As you know, to achieve such events there’s months of endless behind-the-scenes activities, and even though decorations help set a festive promise, they are only a visual part of what goes on.
But, in reality… You, my classmates, are the ones that make things come together in the end and you are the ones that bring life and joy into the room. You are the ones that spread invitations of welcome as you unconditionally greet one another, renewing old and new friendships. Without you a reunion or birthday celebration would be nothing but a lot of hard work with decorations collecting dust. YOU my classmates ARE the reunion, and ITS PURPOSE.
With that in mind… we must also remember to thank Martin, Lee, and Dennis and to all those in the past who have worked hard to keep our class informed and together…. This has been no easy task for the past 55 years. We give you a “SALUTE” of appreciation for your time and energy that you gave so freely to us all.
Martin: In answer to your questionnaire: “You know me… I’ll go with the flow.” I thoroughly enjoyed all three opportunities provided (Newell’s, Winery, and Legion). I also enjoyed all the food with much zeal and that’s most likely why I’m sooo “fluffy”. LOL!
Anyway, as I get older and slower, I find it’s sometimes more appealing to go out to eat and skip all the fuss and preparations, cooking and cleaning etc. There are many great places to wine and dine, allowing time for visiting until hearts content, to just enjoy and fellowship, pay, and tip for a job well done.
So, whatever the survey outcome, or final decision, there will still be preplanning and preparations to be done ahead of time. Please know that the Class-of-68 continues to support everyone’s leadership in grateful gratitude. We continue to pray for health and inner peace in that you do for many. Blessings with a big “Railer-Hug”. Connie
