It has been a whirlwind of activity these last two days, but it was well worth it. It was so wonderful to see everyone so happy just to be together again. Everyone has improved with age. I'll fill you in on some of the details, but I'll leave the really good stories to all of you. Of course, there are stories to tell. It WAS a band party.
It started out with plenty of "Oh, my God! Look who it is." Some people didn't recognize their old friends (Alfie!). Next, people looked at all of the things on our memorabilia table. Those things really started the memories flowing. While we ate, everyone voted for the different categories, like best section leader, most influential person, the funniest, and even the Wet Willy award. Then, Mike Berrios kicked it off with some incredible music. He made the party. We did not stop dancing. As a matter of fact, the party was so good, we went our time by an hour! We didn't want the night to stop, so we moved on to Flannigan's where we played a game of truth. We learned some interesting things about each other there. For example, we learned about Mike's previous employment, Eric and Peggy Sue, and Peter in the Daquiri Depot!
The fun continued at the picnic today. People were coming out of the woodwork. Bill Stadelmeyer, John Wargo, Joe Williams, Lydia and Isis Loyola (both are have married names), James Vanhorn, and even Byron Williams showed up, along with many others. We ate, talked, and brought back a lot of memories. The best part was, our kids became friends. Now that was surreal. It was a great weekend.

ALL THANKS TO YOU AND THE EVER SO PERSISTANT CATHY!
You summed it up girl....
NOW GET SOME REST!!!!
I really must say, that we all looked great, only a couple of people have really changed. Tim you are one of them. I loved the way we were all able to just pick up right where we left off. Somethings never change. I'm happy that our friendship and unity was one of them.
I think Jorge put it best-we have all stayed the same, mentally. Lydia and Alfie, wow! You two are hot.
Jorge,
You for sure wouldn't get the most changed. You look exactly the same.
Jorge B. you fall under the catagory of 'frozen in time' too.
you know before the reunion I was affraid to think how we'd all look like, but I was pleasantly surprised how well/young everyone looked, WOW! It was very surreal!
You sure looked great. I'm so glad you were able to make it.
