Hi,

So many people have thanked us for all the work we've done for the reunion,
yes it was a lot of work but we are the lucky ones.  We've spoken to each and
every one of you, gotten to know so many classmates we never knew in school.
It's taken forty years to realize what wonderful people we are and how
fortunate we are to see each other again.

Well it's been a week since our reunion.  (I am just coming down off my high).
We are so pleased with its turn out.  The whole reunion was a smashing success.
Friday night we went to Sidekicks in Massapequa Park, we expected about 25-30
people. People started coming in and before you knew it there was standing room
only and there had to be about 60-80 people there.  Everybody was in a great
mood and ready to party, it was just a sign of what was to come Saturday at
the Townhouse. 

We had two hundred people at the reunion Saturday night.  The Townhouse was
spectacular, the band was sensational, they played all our favorite songs,
the food was great and the people were having a ball.  Every one was caught up
in the mood of the evening.  No one wanted to go home. 

Sunday morning it rained like crazy, an hour before the picnic it stopped.
(Nothing was going to ruin our weekend). We figured mostly local people would
come, the people from out of town would be on their way home, visiting families
or where ever -WRONG- people came with their families, everyone was having a
good time, we signed yearbooks, laughed and enjoyed our renewed friendships.
We had a packed house, but we had plenty to eat and drink for all.  No one
wanted the weekend to end. 

To those of you who came to the reunion I thank you, it was you who made it
such a huge success and to those of you who couldn't make it, boy did you miss
a great weekend.  Hopefully you will make the next one.  

Anyone that took pictures please have an extra set made for us.  We will post
them on the website and then make a collage for the next reunion.
Any pictures will be appreciated.

One of our classmates lost a man's pinky ring.  Did anyone find it?  

I will be at my home e-mail address for a couple weeks which is:

Keep in touch and don't forget us as we will never forget you.
    My best
    Barbara
