Hello and Thank You for taking the time to read my thoughts.
Welcome to Bob's World.
Its been a Life Time since I've had an opportunity to pass a note in class and a chance to put forth a reason or two for you to attend Our Reunion. Since Graduation we have all gone down the Road of Life. Some to ADD, Some to Multiply, Some to Divide, Some to Subtract. Between good times and bad we have all tasted Bitter and Sweet, Success and Failure.
I'm proud to know all of you and humbled that I've grown with you. Its easy knowing now what I should have known then. I was immature, self conscious and extremely shy. Speech Class was tough. Afraid to stand up, talk,look into your eyes, make a mistake,unwilling to take on responsibility. I have learned that when you come to a fork in the road, STOP! Think what you have learned. You can go left or right or continue as you were. The only road you can't take is the road back.
After Our Graduation when we walked down off that stage it was the first stage of our lives.
We all started a journey using the tools that our education and experiences together imprinted on us. Its impossible to say or see what road we took to get us where we are today.What compels us to look back and want to have a class reunion? Is it the unknown? Is it pride? Is it the adventure? Is it a opportunity to see and talk to old friends and acquaintances? For me its all these and more. I'm sure for some of us its an Earth Shaking Event!
Whatever, It will be the last opportunity for some of us to ever see a Study Hall full of Friends.
I wish your seat there will not be Vacant. Come, Relax, Open Up and Enjoy.
Remember the road here is one that you will have to take and the memories will be in your REAR VIEW MIRROR.
Your Friend Always , Bob

Minutes 9 September 06

At Bob Rohal’s beautiful home.

SET THE DATE FOR THE REUNION: 13 OCTOBER 07: Mark your calendar!

Attending: Bob Rohal, Tom Quesenberry, Pete Boykin, Martha Baxter, Diane Filomena, Fred Moore, Harry Taylor, Gary Hollow, Mary Ann Melucci, and Karen Condley.

Narrowed the reunion site to the Rusty Nail or Twin Lakes Country Club. Also discused whether to have a sit-down dinner or buffet.

Went over the letter to be sent out with questionnaire. Includes a question about the number of days to hold the reunion: Saturday only to Friday-Saturday-Sunday.

Decided to create an informational reunion book to be provided at the reunion. Gary Hollow and Mary Ann Melucci co-editors.

Donations collected including Ron Isle and Becky Faltisco sent theirs in from afar.

Created a steering committee: Diane Filomena, chair, Gary Hollow, Pete Boykin, Mary Ann Melucci, Martha Baxter to meet between group meetings.

Discussed having “oldies” as background music. Consensus desires opportunities for table hoping and reconnecting more than dancing. Desire to have classmates stay late and reconnect.
