St. Martin's Class of '73 30th Reunion Event Schedule
|
Melissa, Carole, Linda, Sandra, Ken and all the others who pitched in to plan and execute this weekend did a GREAT job. All of the events were well attended and everyone seemed to have a very good time. The ONLY thing we need to add, next time, is about 10 or 12 days of just plain old jaw-wag time so we can reeeallly visit more with each other :-)
It was terrific to see so many old classmates -- meet each other's new families -- marvel at changes in things like hair color (or lack thereof ;-) -- bore our spouses and children with recants of past victories, adventures and antics -- and see so many of our teachers (as far back as 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade!!)
I have to admit, I was just a wee bit surprised at how quickly we fell back into old acquaintances (and even roles :-) -- how easy it was to just pick up a conversation, almost as if it had ended only moments earlier, instead of 30+ years ago.
OK - well we're going to leave this events page up so we can remember the great times we had -- and perhaps as an aid to future reunions and other classes.
- 6:30 p.m. - Opening cocktail party at the Metairie home of Rick and Debra Murphy
11 a.m - 3 p.m. - Shrimp boil/catfish/jambalaya on the Van Slate Lawn, with 2 p.m. dedication ceremony for a class memorial to our beloved teacher, the late Harold Graf. (More about that HERE.) We hope you'll invite your families (parents, too!) and any favorite teachers to come as your guests. We're working with STM to obtain our teacher's addresses.
