2011 --- 50th ReUnion B-A-S-H Planning

Recently got e-mail from Jim Hamilton indicating his recent encounter with Len Friedel two-weeks back led to discussion of our planning efforts for 2011 might begin soon with get-2-gether dinner at the Legacy golf course. If interested in attending contact Jim, Len or Ron Luchini.....or you can e-mail your thots on this matter directly to Ron rjluchini@aol.com

Here's Ron getting some 2011 reunion feedback from Sue Wheeler and Claudia Quigley.

A November to March window was suggested on the 45th reunion attendees survey sheet for the 50th planning ...... but your feedback is welcomed as to what you feel might be a good time to get-2-gether.....Give Ron/Jim Hamilton your input!

How about a weekend cruise on Lake Erie? Or a weekend stay at an erotic or maybe even an exotic location? Or head back to the place where it all happened? Or a weekend retreat at ??????? Is a weekend too short a time for a BASH of this magnitude? What types of activities should we plan on? What kind of cash outlay should we consider by attendees? TWO years is not that long a time to begin thinking of how we want to celebrate a momentous occasion of this magnitude....Put your thinking caps on and give Ron/Jim Hamilton a call or an email with YOUR input on this matter!

UPDATE........Carol Notermann (Chapman) writes with her suggesstions...see below:

I wrote this last year for Tom's reunion this year.... My goodness... just one night at a local club... but the fun we had.

Most embarrassing when a man came up and said... "Don't you remember me Carol?"..... I'd worked with him for 26 years. But that was a few years ago... and we both worked with Dick Corrington... Oh my...

Only two years left... I vote for a week-end.... Friday casual ; Saturday 'dress up' a bit... a program.. honorable mentions and news updates, etc.; and Sunday a Brunch and small talk.. I don't think one night works.

Just Yesterday, Right

Wasn’t it just yesterday, with smiles so big and bright,

We headed out to see the world, to make a wrong into a right.

We danced and knew that youth was ours forever and a day

And never really did believe our hair would turn to gray.

We married and had children and then were blessed to see

That there are now grandchildren who look like you or me.

The jobs we took, the paths we chose, were not always what we’d dreamed

But happiness and sadness, mixed and life flew by it seemed.

But each of us can celebrate, and know that we’ve been blessed.

With lives quite full, of people loved, and laughing we can rest.

And think of days we had together in school for those few years.

And then at our reunion, we’ll toast the past with cheers.
