I just wanted to say what a great evening! The planning committee did so much work and it really paid off! I am really glad that I decided to attend the reunion. It was great to see everyone. It was especially great to spend the evening with Julie and Steve, Michelle and Mark and Peggy! Great to see you guys. I am also thankful that my wonderful husband was there by my side! I thank him for his support!

I want to use this post-reunion blog entry to thank you all for an amazing
weekend! Our 20 year class reunion was an absolute blast! My highlights
included:
1) Seeing Walnut Lake friends like Alison, Bernice, Aimee, Val, Crissy,
Saliha, Sandy, Steve, Brian, Rob.... I'm only sorry that I didn't get a
chance to reminisce with Amy S, Jenny T, and Jenny C. Hope you three are
doing great!
2.) Saturday night at 220 Merrill. It was one visit down memory lane after
another. Completely mind blowing with every class of '87 alum that walked
through the door.
3) Being at Michael Bloom's Saturday and getting a quick spin around the
lake on his boat. Thanks Michael! p.s. do you really think your mom
remembered me as your girlfriend when we were 13?
4) Yoga with Matt Darling at his studio in Royal Oak. You're awesome Matt!
5) Dancing with Alan and Liz. Al - I will forever live for you!!
6) Bunking with Dana Sunday night like the good old days at MSU. Too short
but still sweet.
7) Hanging out with my girls who will forever be my best friends - Dana,
Meredith, Kerrie, Tammy, Liz, and Robin. I love you guys.
8) Discussing one of the high school memories that still makes me
laugh/smile with Chris Hansen. When I mentioned Mr. Eubank's English class -
getting a $.10 Lipton Cup O Soup $.05 for Hot Chocolate, Chirs proceeded to
do a good impersonation of Eubanks saying that " I do this as a favor to you
kids, now behave or I'll have to put this away" (opening the drawer to his
desk as if he were about to put the sacred cocoa away).
We really do have a great class and it seems like somehow we've stayed more
connected than other W.E. Groves classes. Much of that can be attributed to
people like Dana who reach out, stay in touch, and keep us up to date on
classmates. As Dana and I were' leaving the Sommerset Inn on Sunday she
asked me what she should do with the pictures boards she made. I simply
replied "keep them for the 30 year reunion". We're certainly not going to
stop here!!
Thanks for the memories...see you in 10!
