Registration started at 9:30 A.M. at the old gym on Friday
morning. Several of our folks showed up there. Glenda Huffman
Erzen was at homecoming this year. She was at the gym and
the football game, but didn't get to be at the dinner. Her
children honored her with a birthday party the night of the
dinner. Sorry she couldn't be with us.
Hal and Mary Pugh Walton brought their pickup and trailer
for us to use as the class float in the parade. We met at
Willow Park to decorate the trailer at 4:00 and the parade
started at 5:00. Charles (Toad) Tibbels furnished the hay
for our float and we want to thank him for that. The parade
was LOTS OF FUN!!!!! We do have one problem!!!! We are so
generous that the candy didn't last until we got down town.
We managed to run out about the City Hall. Everyone agreed
that we need to each bring a bag of candy so we will have
enough to make it down the street. Might work, might not!!
We had the training room at the fire station from 10:30 A.M.
until after our dinner Saturday evening. We met to decorate
the room Saturday morning. A few folks ate at the fire
station for lunch, but most went to the meal served at the
Methodist Church, then came to the fire station to visit. A
business meeting was held at the school at 2:00 Saturday and
pictures were made at 2:30 (well more like 3:00 or so!!). We
had 21 there for the group picture. (See group shot included
with the reunion pictures.) For those of you who haven't been
here for a while, have fun with the identification!!!!!
Our theme for the dinner this year was "western". The outfits
that some wore were great. Check them out for yourselves in
the pictures to follow.
Dale did a great job as our MC. None of us were surprised at
that. We appreciate him very much even if the local Sheriff
had some comments about his conduct!! (That is a joke folks!)
Judy made us a cake (chocolate on chocolate as requested)
again this year, and as you can imagine, it was delicious.
Judy and Glenda did the decorations and they were very
"western". Thanks you two!! A lot of thought and preparation
go into our reunions and we appreciate all the hard work
from everyone involved.
Jimmie May & Maxine did a fantastic job with the entertainment.
For the last part Judy and Gail joined Jimmie May and Maxine
for a group "sing-a-long". Can't describe this - you had to
be there!!!!
Jimmie Caraway and his wife, Judy, were at the dinner. Jimmie
caught us up on what has been happening in his life since he
transferred from Ranger to Breckenridge. Also, Charlotte had
her husband, Harold, with her at the dinner. So glad to meet
him. We had two guests this year - Margaret White & Audry Rose.
Two great ladies!!
One thing lacking this year was a group picture at the dinner.
Very sorry we didn't get one. Gonna have to make a "to do" list
for next time. Don't know what I would do without Post-a-Notes!!!
I go through them like you wouldn't believe.
