If your high school class is fortunate to have a 50th year reunion, make sure you GO to it! My class had our's last night at the The Venetian on River Road in Garfield, New Jersey. We had a nice turn out, the buffet was hugh and the drinks and dessert was outrageous. We danced to "OUR" Music and reacquainted with each other. I speak for myself....I had a great time; but I left there with a sadness in my heart by knowing that this day had passed....and I might never again laugh and joke with these childhood friends again. We were the survivors of our Class...some 50 odd had already left the earth plane. There were many surprises in the names written on our wall of memorial. We remembered them ... for that is all we can do ... and as it was said, we are a bit older, but wiser; a little grayer, but we earned it; mellowed and possibly a bit slower, but we're fast enough for us; for 50 years after graduation brought us to this night.
So special thanks to our committee: Larry & Elaine, Annette, Dolores, Marilyn and Gail for the great job they all did putting this Gala Affair On. Thanks for all the out of towners that showed up...that covers most of us there last night. A wonderful night and Carpe Diem to all of us, for today, tomorrow and forever!
A toast to the Class of 1961!
