"To all you guys and gals on the 'planning committee'... kudos galore and heaps of thanks for all your dedicated efforts. There's no doubt in my mind it'll be the very best reunion ever. When it is, you will have been responsible... Thanks in advance.
Sonny Jones."

"Bo and I are really getting excited about the BIG 50 REUNION. Every year we go it is bigger and better than before. All of you make such a sacrifice to make it all happen. So much love is put into this task and we really appreciate each one of you.

I have been telling everyone I meet about our great class of 1960, about the blog and about the reunions. Great job, well done. See all of you in April. I have already reserve our rooms, how about you?"

Love & Hugs

After having spent years of trying to locate family history and missing relatives, I can fully appreciate the efforts of the committee in searching for, locating and then contacting our extended family. What a tremendous task-you all deserve a loud and resounding WELL DONE! Hope to congratulate each of you in person in April...

YEAR REUNION WILL BE WONDERFUL. THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK. SORRY MY HUSBAND AND I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING AS HE HAS TO HAVE A

wow!!! what a bash!!! thank you committe for a wonderful job. I enjoyed sooo much seeing everyone and that would not have happened without the many, many hours that you spent bringing our reunion together. Your dedication to this project is amazing as is your leader, Ray. I know everyone had a wonderful time. Even the food was good! Hopefully you will have a well deserved rest before you start on our next reunion in three years. (ha ha) I love you all. Thanks again, Carolyn Bench

Ditto to everything Carolyn said.

What a wonderful weekend. I managed to hit all but the Sunday morning breakfast. I visited with so many classmates that I had not seen at other reunions. Thank you, committee, for providing such a terrific 50yr memory. A great milestone!

Words can not possibly express all of my appreciation for all of the endless hours that our wonderful committee has spent on planning such a memorable event. What a fantastic weekend. It was great seeing so many of our classmates and enjoying visiting with each one. Without you, the committee, this weekend would not have been possible. Thank you so much and God bless each and every one one of you.

I hope to see each one of you again in 3-5 years. ThanK you again with loads of love and hugs to each of you.

Thanks again to the Reunion Committee for planning such a fun weekend. I really appreciate all of the hard work and time you devoted to it. I hope this is not the last one. I would be more than willing to help with any other planned functions....just let me know.

[Lonita June Sillings Priest]

A great time was had by all! Thanks to the committee for all your hard work and long hours - it all paid off with a great success! I can't wait to see all the pictures being posted!
Again, many thanks for enabling us to make some more great memories together!
Love ya,

Dear friends on the committee,
You of course know by now that you outdid yourselves in the planning and execution of a fabulous reunion. I hope those of us who had to do nothing but sign-up and show-up are really aware of all the effort you put forth in order to make it such a memorable weekend. Ray, thank you for your tireless efforts and sterling leadership.

Karla, what can be said to you and about you that you've not already heard from the masses? I can only echo all the accolades and give you imaginary hugs! Not only are our relationships better because of your wonderful work on the blog, but so are our lives. Thanks again & again.........Sonny

[John Echoff]

WOW, what a party! Whooee, the committee did an outstanding job of notifying everyone and keeping everyone briefed on the activities. I was disappointed that so many of our dear friends could not make the scene, hope they are just busy, not ill or anything like that.

BTW, Friday night Linn and I arrived with Don and Susan Hannsz, and I immediately spotted some of the very lovely ladies - Karla, Bonnie, Doris, Sharon, Linda, Melba, Merle, and several others - then I look around and what do I see - lo and behold, I think the bus from the home must have taken a wrong turn - 'cause there were a lot of old geezers in the room. Where did they come from? 'Course Don, Rodney, Ray, Charles and I have not aged, just matured a bit! Now just because I loaned Sonny Jones my cap (with attached wig) and chose to part my hair a little wider doesn't mean a thing. And I did get out on the dance floor at least once. I think the hotel staff purposely left the floor a little sticky to prevent some old geezer from falling and breaking a hip - are you listening Herb?

[Francis Pope Beasley]

Thanks to all of you on the reunion committee, you did a fabulous job. It was so much fun and great to see all of our friends from school.

Karla, you are doing a great job on the blog.

[Gladys Payne Bohac]

Hey Francis, I am so happy you blogged, Please get in touch with me and lets get together like we said we would. My email is [email protected]. Love to see you and visit with you again.

Thanks John, I knew there was a good reason. But the floor didn't slow me down much. The Reunion Committee did an outstanding job and really could never receive enough praise for their tireless labors. Thank you. See you soon
John, if the creek don't rise and all that stuff.

[Dolores H. Manning]

Just to let you know, the reunion was great! I probably missed seeing and talking to some classmates. You all did just a great job, it was really enjoyable. I will be working on the 61 class for next year. I know what all goes in to a reunion to make it seem effortless, but we certainly know better. So thank you for a great weekend!
