Other reunions

2007 REUNION

Several classmates decided to plan a reunion between our 45th and 50th events.  Las Vegas was chosen and an e-mail notification was sent to as many people as we could reach.  Over 30 classmates made the trip in October 2007, most with spouses or friends. 

The first day we met casually in a hotel lobby and visited.  The second day we rented a hospitality suite, decorated it in yellow and blue and spent the day renewing old friendships, viewing memorabilia, and watching a slide show of our NFA days.  That evening we attended a concert with The Platters, The Drifters, and The Coasters. A BBQ and another day of fun together filled in the third day.

It was a wonderful time of reminiscing and being with old friends as seen in the photos below:
