And in a blink of an eye we only have the memories we made. What a fantastic evening of celebration. We've survived 40 years past high school! I didn't get to visit with very many friends and I am in shock as I see pictures of people who were there that I didn't even see. I am standing in a picture of my Ward next to Marsha Staker. Next to Marsha is Jill Jones who was my backyard neighbor growing up. I didn't even see her and I'm standing that close to her. I feel so sad about that! I've enjoyed my newfound friendship with Lorrie and I am so proud of her and her dedication to this reunion. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. Diena, Ralph, Vickie, and Nancy were such key players in pulling this all together. I loved hearing Mike Gudmundson sing a song that was so fitting for the evening and visiting with him and Lorrie well into the morning hours. Thanks to all of you who enjoyed my memorabilia table. I am not a hoarder, just a sentimentalist! I am so thankful that Stephanie Thomas won the most divorces award so I didn't have to take it home! I've been unlucky in love, but I've made up for it with 3 beautiful daughters and 11 extrodinary grandchildren. I hope we can find many more classmates to share this wonderful experience with in five years. Please make sure to check this website occasionally and keep it updated, especially if you change your web address. Make sure you tell anyone who didn't want to come (for whatever reason) that they were missed. Maybe after they see our pictures they will see that they fit in with the rest of us! We're old, plain and simple. Steve Brown finally got his trophy (wife)! Bud Headman, I am so glad you came. He has put into words the way I feel about our reunion in his blog www.bheadman.com. Definately worth reading. Claudia Jardine, I loved you then and I love you now. Why such a nice girl befriended me in high school I'll never know, but I'm glad you did! I could go on and on about my evening, but I'm sure you have your own memories to hold onto. I love reunions. I love all of you. Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.....................
