Reunited and It Feels So Good
At times it felt like it was still 30 years ago. With the surprise appearance by Ted
on Saturday night, we had 70 former classmates plus their families in attendance over the weekend.
Thanks to everyone for making our 30th Reunion a tremendous success.
We'll be examining the finances and donating any leftover funds
to the school in honour of our classmates who are no longer with us.
Meanwhile, feel free to share your photos from the reunion at our photo
site: photobucket.com/kcvi79. Sign in
with username kcvi79 and password kcvi79 and upload your photos for all to see.
Special thanks are due to:
Linda (Winton) Auriemma and Janet (Renaud) Brent for
decorating the Yacht Club in blue and white for Saturday night (along with some great memorabilia
Everyone who donated door prizes
Andy Harrison for his donation of the Reunion banner
John Corrigan for emcee-ing and BBQ transport

See you all in another 30 years! :-)
