I was just going through the attendee list to see how many people attended the reunion events and it appears we had 55 class members at the various events. Along with the teachers and guests, I'd estimate there were at least 90 people at the dinner/dance (although I'm sure Karen and Arlene know the exact number). I also added a column in the attendee list for those who came to events other than the dinner/dance. Victory Pig had a very good turn out with 23 class members and some had their families with them so I'd estimate that well over 50 people arrived throughout the night.

Pete Cusick was sighted in two bars (The Buffalo Lounge and Kester's) but could not be persuaded to attend any reunion events despite some heavy duty arm-twisting. Goose was all paid up and ready to go and we had a late night with him on Friday, but he seemed ambivalent about the dinner/dance. I exchanged some email with him after the reunion and he told me he was running late with too many things to do so he skipped out on the dinner/dance. We thought he might have gotten arrested, but that wasn't the case.

Paul McAndrew continues to send me photos a few at a time, so if you haven't checked out the reunion photo section lately, go ahead because there are probably a few new photos in Paul's section you haven't seen yet. We have over 50 photos so far and I hope to get more from all of you as you get them back from the developer.

As the reunion wound down, there was some discussion about a 30th reunion and Tom Crossin graciously volunteered to host it at his house. I haven't been able to confirm he really wants to do this, but in any event, several people suggested that we should experiment with a new type of gathering, and if we can't have it at Tom's house, then perhaps we can do an all day event at a grove. Mike Laton asked me to put up a survey on the website to gather input for the next reunion to measure interest and check preferences and I will do something like that as soon as we figure out what questions to ask.
