It's Over

So here I am - 2:00 AM - sitting alone in my hotel room after hearing for the zillionth time how successful the reunion was. But I ask you, "How can any single guy feel that it was a successful event if he didn't get even one indecent proposal." I understand I don't have a wife to lend for $1 million, but that's not enough of an excuse for me.

Anyway Karen and I are truly happy that so many of you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves.

Here are a couple of preliminary notes:

1. The 40-year reunion was the largest reunion that our class has ever held - attendance was over 350.

2. After a minor audit and a bit of renegotiation, we should end up with a nice "excess of revenues over liabilities" a/k/a a net profit. We intend to leave a small amount to the next reunion committee and also make a donation to the high school.

3. As we were cleaning up, we found an additional box of Memory Books. We understand that a few people "misplaced" their copies. After we mail out the books to those who purchased the book, but didn't come to the reunion, we should have a clearer picture of what is still available.

4. If you are still interested in purchasing a reunion T-shirt, we still have a few available. Contact Karen and we will arrange a "special price."

5. According to the company we purchased the mortarboards from (that's the graduation hats), no one has ever done a recreation of the graduation processional before...and then to have the same person, Mr. Jim Simpson, give them out again 40 years later - well that was very special.

6. Stan "the man" Blake - thank you for adding a special humorous touch to our evening.

And finally for those who asked if I will be happy to see it all come to an end, I say NO, emphatically NO.

It has been a blast.
