Along about 7 PM it was necessary to get all the people into the main room so we
could start our Reunion properly. There was no PA system so Pat, in his best
Marine voice, hollered out for everyone to start moving into the main room.
Everyone seemed quite surprised but after he did it a second time
everone got the idea. It got pretty crowded in that room with all of us in
there. But we adapted. |
Pat Jones was honored to emcee the meeting |
Jim Weston began the meeting by offering the invocation. |
IIntroduction of Honored Guests - Mr. & Mrs. Norman Osborne. |
You will probably remember Mrs. Osborne as Ms. Igel who was our Freshman and Sophomore
Social Studies teacher. On a personal note- Ms. Igel was responible
for finding out that I needed to wear glasses. She was conducting a flash
card program in our class one day and I just couldn't make them out. She
suggested I ought to go see an Optometrist and have my vision tested. A
week later I was introduced to a whole new world out there I had been missing
all along. Thank you Leona!!! |
Cheryl reads letters and cards from invited guests who could not attend. |
Jim Devous offered the Memoriam, reading the names of all classmates who have passed
on. |
Diane Deem literally leaped to the occasion in leading us all in singing the Alma
Mater. |
Much to Pat's surprise, Cheryl presents him with an award from the Class of 1956
for his efforts in organizing and assisting in getting the 50th Reunion off the
ground. This award was placed on a table out front so everyone could sign
it. It is now displayed proudly in Pat's computer room at home. |
The Kickoff Ceremony begins . . . . |
