RIVERSIDE BROOKFIELD HIGH SCHOOL
Class Of 1958 50th REUNION
Hola from Puerto Vallarta ,
Carl - Thanks for getting the ball rolling - hosting meetings and offering the services of your gracious wife to take minutes...and Sen "the man" to create and update all the data into an accessible spreadsheet....Your SN hosting was a hit especially the last part regarding our impact on the world and that we are not done yet...profound thoughts
Sue - A mover and a shaker, got an idea and it is a done deal!! Organized and efficient - "that's the Spirit of Sue"...we had so much fun too...lots of laughs...Fun? How much fun was that you and Doc and the rest of the girls got up there with the cheerleader squad..what a photo op...and an experience for that squad that could lead to a whole new venue for future reunions!!
Bruce and Judy - Our "Queen" and still regal...You gave us the royal touch with the centerpieces--lot of compliments ---and your search for out classmates was fruitful..good sleuthing and networking!!
Jay and Betsy - Thanks for keeping the books - we stayed on task and had money left over to donate a generous gift to our Alma Mater...Your benediction was so poignant and congrats on cracking the stained glass ceiling!!
And to your partners in crime: Merle and Gail - The power point presentation was so well done...and thanks Gail for sharing your personal scrapbook of those 4 years...I relived every dance!!
Jack - Thank you too for sharing your memorabilia and hosting the awards ceremony...you have a great delivery as always.your memories of the extra curricular activities are so vivid and evoked the good times at RB High..and hope to see you and Harriet at the beach or the casino next spring..
Sally, personally - you look the same but that would have been biased on our part...Blue napkins were the perfect touch..
Lois - wasn't it interesting trying to figure out who was standing in front of us waiting for a name tag..some we knew but once the others said their name, it all came back into focus...Everyone enjoyed the RB tour..thanks for spearheading that...and you and Jack did a great game show...heard the networks called Carl for your names..
Sandy...your perky presence as always...was so welcome..bring back memories standing up there with the cheerleader squad??? Can still hear your voice over the others at our games!!
Dale - bet you are glad to get rid of those 10 Year Reunion booklets!! Your comments at dinner were so kind...forgot to ask you...did you ever meet Sarah up there?
Lastly, Phyllis - you kept tracked of all those classmates and the numbers jelled and the name badges and booklets were right on Target...not an easy task, but then timely organization is your specialty...
As for me ---the Cheerleader Squad show was so exciting to pull off - nice surprise for everyone..The big yellow school bus was a necessary touch and I nagged Tony DiBona to show up...
So we all did our share and had a blast doing it all...it was a great success!! I think if we can pull off a meeting of the committee (Carl - work your magic) just to finalize the video and pictures and how to handle those that do not have access to email...
Would love to have any and all of you either at the Beach or here in Mexico when the wind blows in those directions...just call and I'll uncork the wine!! Take care all!!
