The reunion was a blast (from the past) to say the least. I believe everyone found it somewhat shocking, but delightful fun and a touching coming together.
PART 1
The golf tournament gang (36 - raw rookies and seasoned players) met up in the parking lot with much laughter. 27 years later more than a few "hi and who are you?" were noted (year book picture name tags came later). The weather could've been finer but everything seems to have went well all the same.
PART 2
The dinner and dance had a bigger crowd (90+) - a comfortable fit for the hall. Food - tasty, beer - cool & free, music - nostalgic & fun, great donated prize giveaways... much visiting, eating, drinking & dancing. As a more reasonable & responsible crowd in our forties we packed it in by 2 a.m.
$550. was raised for WIN House.

QUOTES...
"My only regret is I did not get a chance to visit more with the people I did talk to and I flat out missed talking with some people. Isn’t that always the case though with big gatherings."
"My recent Alberta vacation was filled with many pleasant experiences, among them, and one of the most enjoyable, was the
Reunion."
"We just didn't have time for pictures, too much fun."
"It's like time had stood still, even if it was for only a few precious fleeting hours."
"I had an absolutely incredible time......and it was so worth the trip."
"It's so strange to think that I haven't seen some people for 27 years! I recognized some but I have to admit, my memory failed me on many of them."
"It was great and strange at the same time to see everyone after all these years."
"The entire day and evening was a reminder of how lucky we were to have all graduated together. I don't think I have ever been in a room with that many happy, excited and smiling people."
