Kayaking Photos

Thank you to the Reunion Committee for all your hard work in the success of the gathering last weekend--and the kayaking.

Kayaking down the Missouri was wonderful. Next time, we could plan on going to Vermillion and beyond --- or upriver toward Springfield. Now that would be a workout, wouldn't it????? We would have awesome adventures no matter which way we went, though.

Until next time, take care everyone.

Ready For Groveland Park

Young (14)Weniger waiting for his ride to Tyndall.
It's been said this old photo resembles Tom (serial killer) Ripley from the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley". A historical note: That cool collarless blazer belonged to my older brother Larry. He was deeply offended that I borrowed it w/o his permission (No doubt he would have said NO!)
We got in a huge row over it, and I ended up throwing him down the stairs and through that door behind me. We have put all of that behind us now.
Thanks again to everyone who made this event possible.
I had the very best time!

Bill Hasn't Changed a Bit!

Bill laughed his way through the weekend too. It was so great to see Bill and everyone else having such a great time!

Class of '69 "Wanna Be"

Who's the guy in the background that Lee and Don are trying to ignore? Looks like he's trying to nibble on Don's ear! Yes, that is Ken Bertsch. Didn't know that you two were that close! I think Ken had just as much fun as we did at the reunion. Thanks Ken, for all of your help in front of and behind the bar!!

No More Tree House!

John Bicknell is describing to Sandy the tree house that used to be in his back yard on 15th Street. Seems several people remember it well!

This Is So Much Fun!

Becky and Sandy are enjoying a few "old" memories that they can still remember!

Smile! Smile! Smile!

Pat, Marsha, and Sharon are doing what we all did all weekend--smile and laugh!

Medeck and Melick

You two must have walked down the aisle together at graduation! You're looking pretty good!!!

Did You Golf in These?

Yes Doug (Mr. Lynn Brady) you do have nice feet for a guy!

You What!!!!!

Brooke's reaction when Ross told her, "Hey Honey, I just volunteered us to be on the committee again for the 45th reunion!!!!!"

The Pro Golfers

The golfers were fun but I think we would all agree that if we do this again we will make it a Scramble instead of straight golf. I think the time spent under and in the trees at Hillcrest was not fun but the company was wonderful. Hope everyone had a good time despite the trees and in Don's case the post problems.

"Everyone's Been To The Moon!"

I agree with Mike Oleson--it was a wonderful weekend! The committee went to the moon and back to organize and pull off a fabulous time for all of us. The casual evening events were a hit as well as the activities to choose from on Saturday. Everyone I talked to said this was the best reunion yet. Those that could not attend really missed something. If it's true that laughter is good for the soul, then our souls are soaring!!! My cheeks and stomach muscles are sore from all of the laughing! There were some great surprise attendees, like John Bicknell (my tree house buddy), Bob Gunderson, and Nick Kollars. It was great to see the two "studs" and would loved to have seen the "Spud!" Maybe next time! I sincerely hope that we will have a 45th (we will be 63)! By then the committee might have recovered from this one and will be willing to do it again! Beth Goetz, you have five years to get your comedy routine ready!!!
Golf on Saturday was a riot. It took Pat O'Leary 17 holes to figure out that those containers of sand for divot repair were not urinals!! Sorry to the groups behind us about the "wet" sand!!! And Don Gereau had quite a difficult stance for his second shot on #10! He did move his ball so as not to ruin his love life! Of course, Sharon hit the ball a mile with her new driver as usual, and I spent most of my time on the golf course playing the wrong holes! What's golf without a sense of humor!
I had a fabulous time seeing everyone. Hope you will share your pictures. Take care until we all see each other again!!! Ceci

And we had fun, fun, fun.....

Many "Thank-you's" are deserved for such a great event....First, to the reunion committee--all the details were planned, everyone praised the decisions for food, activities, and timing, and the weather was perfect. Next, "Thanks" to the people who attended. Everyone seemed to really enjoy catching up with the news of the last 10 years, kidding each other with stories, secrets revealed, and admissions of deals proposed, as far back as kindergarden....
We really do have a fantastic class. Seventy some classmates, and many spouses, made the reunion one we will never forget. The friendships put the icing on the cake.
We will work on making pictures available. If you have some to share, please let Ross know.
I happen to have a picture of Ross, Brooke, Becky and Seth to post--but I'm sure they would point out that the entire reunion committee did a great job......Thank You !!!!

How about that Reunion Committee!!!!
You are the best ever, group of Get It Done folks and are the ones we should be electing to political office.
Thanks from one easily distracted procrastinator.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you and a great time together.
Doug and I are still in Kansas City- 28 years. I’m still working in nursing and still loving it. Our two children are responsible (in spite of us), grown people. They are both married to awesome mates and are brewing us up a nice batch of grandbabies-three so far. The youngest was born July 5th. You’ll just have to wait and see if you recognize us. We’d appreciate it if you’d just see our young, 1969 faces when you look at us.
