I don't know how many of you I should thank - or who you all are - but I know that the Reunion event didn't just happen. Many of you have given days and weeks of your lives to make the arrangements we all enjoyed. It was a royal blast of an event. It has been a long time since I have so thoroughly and intensely enjoyed a few hours of my life as I did over Friday and Saturday. This is the first of these reunions I have attended. For the 10 years our family lived in Rainelle [1956-66], growing up with you all was my world [we didn't even make many long-distance calls back in those days - and to get to go to Charleston was awesome!]. It was 10 of the most formative years of my childhood [ages 5-15]. It was a real blessing to see you all again and re-live a few of those memories. Thank you, especially, Jerry and Patty, for inviting me to join your class cookout on Friday evening. And thanks to you all for the memories!

A great big "THANK YOU' to so many of you who made this reunion so successful. Just getting all those picnic tables together was a tremendous undertaking. The gifts were superb. Also, a big thank you to all the people who came to see old and dear friends. Some among us were from Turkey and CA. I doubt that I'll ever erase the memory of Dale Tincher in that cheerleader skirt. What fun! And to my 1956 classmates...you are all dear to me. I hope to see you in Oct. 2011 as we celebrate 55 years!
