Wow. What fun!

Thirty classmates from our 8th grade graduating class from 1969 celebrated our 40 Year Reunion on Saturday, August 15th. Out of 110 kids in our class, to have around 28% attend a reunion 40 years later is not a bad statistic! Not bad at all.

Judging from everyone’s comments and the jovial atmosphere, I’d be safe to say that everyone had a great time. It cracks me up that after 40 years, we all still act like teenagers when we get back together. Why is that?

It was really enjoyable to connect with old friends again. It’s somehow comforting to be reminded once again of those things, events and the special times that we shared - the glue that bonds us together as the Class of 1969.

Being a pack of fifty-somethings, as the clock ‘rounded the turn to 10:00 PM things started to wind down to a dull roar and by 11:00 the evening was complete.

Thanks to the members of the reunion committee for getting everyone pulled together. It always seems there is a rush of things to do at the last minute and then the next thing you know, it’s all done!

The folks at the Laurelwood Pub did an awesome job with the food and flowing beverages. Our thanks to them for putting up with such a boisterous group (we were kind of noisy!)

We will be putting up some photo galleries over the next several days. If you have some photos that you’d like to share, you can email Scott Leverenz or check back in a few days - we will also have a special page where you can upload images to our server.
