57th Reunion 2010
Wow what a reunion! It was so delightful to reunite with so many wonderful people that we had not seen in too many years. People started arriving in Altus on Thursday evening and continued throughout the weekend. We started the reunion on Friday night by gathering at Luigi’s for dinner/mixer and it was an exciting evening plus the place was packed. Most of those in attendance had not seen each other in many years. People came from all over the US and some as far away as Seattle Washington.
