Thank you Classes of 69/70 Reunion Committee
Posted Sunday, September 20, 2009 07:37 AM

I want to say a heart felt "Thank You" to the reunion committee for our reunion. It was noisy and some did not want to cooperate, but that was not anyone's fault but theirs. I would have loved to have had a moment of silence for those who have died. Many may not be alive when we have our next one. Let us remember that the things we have done are our legacy. It needs to be passed down.

May we NEVER forget!

Tigers rule!

I also would like to thank the committee for their hard, dedicated work.  Also to Connie Reddon for her commitment to this website.  It has gotten me in contact with several people I haven't talked to in many years.  I agree the reunion was very noisy, Robert (Bob) and I spent most of the time outside.  Maybe the next one will be at a cooler time of the year and also have an outside area so conversations won't have to be "yelled".   To all of those we saw....it was wonderful to see you and to those we didn't......we wish we would have seen you.   Until the next reunion, God Bless you all!   Florence (Flo) Scholwinski Green and Robert (Bob) Green!

It was a good one but I agree about how loud it was.  Not that it was our fault, everyone was just talking but the acoustics were awful.  Mike, who was our emcee, could not be heard.  Maybe another place in ten years.  Or maybe we will be a little more quiet as we enter our late 60's.  OMG.  that is a scary thought.

Thanks to everyone on the committee and a special  thank you to Connie Redden Hopper for keeping up two websites for us.  I know all of this was a monumental task.  We look forward to seeing everyone at the next reunion.

As one who was unable to attend, I am sorry I missed it and it has been fun reconnecting with some old friends on this website. Regarding the noise leve(and since I was not there i can only speculate), as my teenage daughters use to tell me "dad if it is too loud, you are too old", maybe that was the poblem.

Connie,

Do you really think that ANYONE can be quiet? They'd need to be pushing up daisies! Thank you all.

I can't get the Reunion out of my head!...I really appreciate all the hard work and hours the committee spent working  on it ...I almost didn't go....but I'm so glad I did!...yes it was noisy.....but you just had to get in people's faces to talk to them.....or to see them  ha!ha.....

It was a thrill to see old friends and to even  make new friends....we all were children  back in the day......and now I hope we're all grown-up..... funny how those 3 years were so magical!.....wish more would have attended....missed seeing the officers of  both years, and I didn't see but one cheerleader, Becky Hood......wonder why?...It must be really hard to find these people, especially the girls....there needs to be a place to find women by their maiden names........but what a job that would be!....everybody has moved on I guess,   it has been 40 YEARS!  So sad to hear of those who have passed......I bet we could have maybe read their names outloud...and gotten people to be quiet and listen!

Thanks again to all who stepped up to the plate....we do appreciate you!

that being said.......I for one would like a 40th reunion for the class of '70'  next fall!

I'll help....any takers?....ha ha

I concur with most all of the above thoughts regarding this website and the party.  Connie deserves all the praise we can find for this website--She opened the door for us to so many dormant bonds being awakened, that I still am in a kind of "state."  Thanks, Connie, to you and the committee, especially Cindy and Mike, with whom I spent seven long, long, long, long. long years in elementary school, and that just listening to one of Mike's jokes.  Sorry Mike.

What a blast....that was a really a wonderful reunion. Again, thank you to all the committee members that I did not talk to in person.

I too, almost did not attend for one reason or another. I knew it would be fun, but almost let daily stuff keep me from coming.  I am so glad I did. You never know what tomorrow may bring, and you never realize how much you cherished through those three magical years of high school.

It was a blessing to see so many of us still healthy and kicking, and I would have also loved to have had a moment of silence for those we have lost. Of course, Iit was very hard to keep us all quiet for any length of time, but I am sure everyone would have wanted to show their respect to our lost classmates.

I am new to this website....I appreciate the effort...I know how much goes into maintaining.

Thanks again for the lovely party..I will not miss another one.

Valerie, this website will make any future reunions much easier. We started with practically nothing.

Wayne and I had a great time.  Thank you to everyone involved.  I am still hoarse from talking.  I am glad that we attended.

I just am so sad that I missed this event!  It seems like it was just a blast!  so many people I would have loved to see---I WILL be there for the next one---I am like Valerie, hope we have another one next year for 1970 kids!!  I will help too!  but have kept in touch with lots of friends and can't wait to see the pictures from that night---
