Multi-year reunion for classes of 1973-1985

I hope you all had a great time. I do admit I am not an event coordinator in life or at heart. FOR the many of you who were worried about my breaking even and offered to help out, THANK YOU. I sat down and figured out my costs today and as long as none of you stole the furniture on your way out.... I came out a few bucks ahead. This is due in large part to the MANY people who showed up at the door, saving my over extended behind in the end (as it were) and taking several year off my life.

I have heard rumblings of the "next" Multi-year reunion. I have already stated emphatically that 1. I am a lousy host, 2. I have no intention of changing and 3. I am totally and unutterably insane...but if people seriously want to do this again and no-one else feels like stepping up to the plate...I would be delighted to throw another one. Dear God....What am I saying?????

Karen Barsch , the lady who brought all those wonderful toys...and my one and only "reunion committee" ....has promised to send out a survey on what you liked and didn't like about the reunion....or what you would like add to the reunion in the future if we were to host another event. I will count on her for that because FRANKLY...even though I readily admit to being a lousy host, I don't deal well with the negative stuff... I just love to be loved.

I wanted to thank the Barbershop Quartet for entertaining us out in the hall and ask that at the next reunion you sing in front of everyone...ya big weenies. You were fabulous...as always....

To Paul...coordinator of the 1976 XXX reunion.... (which I am told was great fun)... if you can ever forgive me for picking your year to throw this event...I will gladly and with great joy...pay your way to the next reunion. I am truly sorry.

To Leslie and Dana Saladen...two ladies that mean so VERY much to me...thank you for coming. I love you both.

I wish you all a great year and I...as promised...am signing off.

Diane
