June 24, 2012 - Toledo, Oh

Went to my 45th HS reunion last night at the Hilton. Saw a lot of old friends that I have not seen in about a half century. I could recognize most of them but could not remember names. Barb had signed us up to work the registration table long ago, so I decided to do it without her anyhow. Had an open bar most of the evening, lots of momentos and displays from our days in high school and then had a really great dinner with more visiting and laughing. Debbie (Ryan) who lives in Florida started the ball rolling for this reunion 3 years ago and everything came off to perfection. Now I cant wait until the next one.

Registration table where I checked people in.

Classmates that we know about that we have lost.

As it turns out, Louise Kirk was right next to Barb on the memory board and she was one of Barb's best friends growing up.

Classmates still living in Ohio.

Classmates from other states and countries.

We had an open bar and this snack table when we arrived.

Hanging around outside waiting to have class pictures taken. We had one picture taken of all of us and then a picture taken of each junior high school and then a picture taken of individual elementary schools. I think there were a little over 100 clasmates attending in a class of about 700.
