-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your planning committee did a wonderful job!! I wish that I had taken Friday night off work to attend. The pictures look like a good time was had by all. Your website is a great tool for keeping in touch. I have so many good memories from all my school years due to the wonderful people that were in our class. It was a very special night and again thanks to your committee. Bill Emerson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just wanted to say thank you to you and the reunion committee for organizing a great event for everyone! I could only make it to Friday night, but had way more fun than I expected. I'm sure that Saturday night was wonderful, and I wish I could have been there. The annual casual get-together mentioned on the website will be something many people will look forward to. Thank you again for all your hard work and efforts--it was a tremendous success! Take care, Heidi (Reif) Clary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just want to say a great big thank you to the reunion committee for all the work you put into organizing all the reunion activities while the rest of us sit back and just get a whole lot of enjoyment from all your hard work. You go the extra mile when it comes to detail and it does not go unnoticed. As I was leaving Saturday night I overheard the wife of a classmate say to her husband, "Boy, you guys really know how to put on a reunion!"...we are very lucky to have great organizers!! Thanks for all you do! Ronda Holmes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to thank "the committe" for a great event! I really enjoyed seeing so many old friends. Margo Thomas AKA: Langham -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much for all of your time and hard work in making our 30th Reunion happen. That was a tremendous amount of organizing and we really appreciate your keeping us all together! Thanks again for all of your work. Warmly, Cindy Lee -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again I would like to thank the reunion committee for all of the hard work - behind the scenes, and advanced planning and organizing you have all done for our reunion - 30 years. It was tons of fun. Friday night was much fun and very much a different crowd from Saturday's gala. Most of the folk I spoke with Friday evening mentioned the lighting as too dark, the music as far too loud and the regular clientele as too young. Even those who are into the 'pub atmosphere' suggested that Friday night needs to remain 'a 'freebie' evening, low key casual, with drinks and such, but it's time to move it somewhere other than a bar. Personally, I think it would take some doing to figure out some place to fit this bill - the freebie part is the tough part, I would imagine. However, I suppose a restaurant with a private room, might work out -- well we all have ten (or maybe five?) more years to figure it out. As for Saturday night at the Lynnwood Convention center, you could not have selected a more perfect facility. Coming from family who 'cook' professionally, I can tell you the food was stupendous! A perfect menu; simple, yet elegant with a lovely presentation. All of the flavors complimented each other. The room itself was perfect, albeit difficult to warm up and personalize. You conquered this challenge wonderfully. with the great room concept, folk could watch the slide program, eat, chit chat, dance, walk around checking out the folk sitting or looking at the displays of photos-all the while continuing to socialize with any number of different folk. - It was perfect! The lighting was light, yet fairly soft - we wanted to see each other, The music was low key - background music. Even when the DJ volumed up for dancing, it was not so loud, that others could not converse. This room was superb. As for the commemorative DVD, I love it! It was nicely done and is a very nice touch. The 'special' drinks were a great idea, too. My mom (who has given countless dinner parties, cooked for my Big Fat Greek wedding of 500+ guests) has helped to put on her High School reunions over the years --- graduated Ballard HS in 1947! I was telling her all about this and she said it sounded like an A-#1 classy affair. The other real winner & and not just because I was a winner - the raffle! It was fun! I hope you don't mind my 'critique'. I always believe it's a good idea to assess how things ended up so we can figure out what to improve upon and what to leave exactly the same. I'm not one to just moan and whine and complain. I think it is important to communicate ... and to be willing to jump in with suggestions, help, etc... With that, I would like be involved with this great planning committee for the next time round, if there is such an 'opening'. I mentioned this to Lori Wong on Saturday night -- but just wanted to let you know also -- It wasn't just the wine talking.... I've thought about this for some time. Anyways, once again, I thank all of you for everything. Diane (Williamson) Conom |
