CLASS REUNION WAS A SUCCESS

 

We had a wonderful class reunion in September, 2013, celebrating 45 years since we graduated.  Friday night was a casual dinner at Flamingos where Pam Mason-Heard, Class of '69, took everyone's picture with some pretty funny props!  Thanks, Pam.  You did a great job and we will enjoy those pictures for years to come.

 

The highlight of the weekend was the luncheon at Olympia Grill at Pier 21.  The weather couldn't have been more perfect.  We had the largest attendance at this event, a good turnout for our special guests, Mr. and Mrs. John Bennett, the band director we all love.  Every band member received a CD copy of the long play record album our CHS band made in 1963 under the direction of Mr. Bennett.  What a great way to observe fifty years since we made that album together.  We visited with some classmates/friends who haven't been able to come to the last few reunions, so we hadn't seen them for decades!  It was a real pleasure to see them again

 

Saturday night, we had dinner at Joe's Crabshack on Seawall Blvd.  It was a smaller crowd, but we were joined by some classmates who had not been able to attend the first two events.  It was so great to visit with them.  By the end of the weekend, we had visited with a good number of classmates.  Next year, we hope more will be able to come. We really missed those who couldn't make it this year.

 

We have some classmates who have NEVER missed a reunion.  That's pretty remarkable.  Some of these, in fact, most of these, began school together in the first grade!  Life-long friendships are a treasure and Crosby was a wonderful town that fostered such relationships.

 

Our next reunion will be the Golden Fifty Year Celebration.  Please give some thought to how you'd like to celebrate with your classmates and send us your suggestions. It's never too early to begin the process.    Consider helping plan and execute the next BIG ONE.  We want this one to be great.
