   Hi to all my fellow classmates. I wish I could join all of you at the 44th, but due to some unfortunate circumstances I will be unable to attend.  I hope to see everyone next year. Have a good one. A special hello to Sue, Joanne, Sharon, Sherry and Karen.  I think of you all often and wonder how you are doing.  I sure hope to see everyone at the next reunion.  Take care everyone and have a blast.

 

Love, Cecelia Stevens-Pastiva

     This was one of the most enjoyable weekends of my life. I knew it would be great seeing old friends again, but I didn't know it was going to be as wonderful as it was. I'm closer to some of my classmates now than I was 44 years ago, and I don't plan on going another 44 years without keeping in touch. I was impressed when I read the biographies and saw what we had accomplished. So many of us have lived such exciting lives; contributing in so many ways to our communities.

 

     Steve and Dee: Thank you and the others who put in so much work and time to make this a memorable event!

In Response to Everyone,

   The wonderful acclamations keep coming in.  The Reunion Committee thanks you.  Even though Steve's and my name were in the fore front, those behind the scene "the often unsung hero's" were the ones who brought this event together. Since the start in November, every month,  we came together as a committee to make sure that the 44th Reunion would be the most memorable.  All of our plans were based on our hope that NO ONE would feel ignored or left out of the loop before or during the reunion weekend; and with the response of comments thus far, those plans were met.

Now on, to an even better 45th in 2008.

 

 Thank you,  Dee
