* The Class celebrated their 70th birthday together in Beaumont on Saturday June 26th at D'Vine Wine on Phelan Street. We had approximately 55 Classmates and spouses who were able to attend. We met at 10:30 a.m..... had lunch together and visited with one another until 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. A great time was had by all and there was talk about trying to get together on a more regular basis. We really have a great bunch of classmates who enjoy being able to renew old friendships. If you were unable to attend try to make the next gathering as you will be glad you did !

* Our 50th Reunion has come and gone but many wonderful memories of the event live on! Our Reunion saw many old friends reunited for a great 3 days together. The Elegante' Hotel provided our accomodations for Friday and Saturday with the class traveling to Lake Charles and the beautiful home of Gene and Shively Lampson.

Friday night a reception was held in the Tradewinds with an opportunity for all to come together for a great time of socializing. A video of old pictures from the past and the class annual was projected on a large screen as a backdrop of rememberances. Afterwards many of the class went out to eat together as they continued their enjoyment of the night.

Saturday morning and afternoon provided an opportunity to visit some of the sites around Beaumont and continued time together. That afternoon many gathered in the Veranda Room to decorate and prepare for the dinner that night.

Saturday night was a great time together with a reception and a class picture being taken prior to the dinner. After an excellent buffet with a choice of three entrees, the meal was topped off with peach cobbler, cheese cake and a delicious chocolate cake.

The program after the dinner was a fun time with many of our classmates coming to the microphone to tell humorous stories and relating tales of the high school happenings. These were great stories with many participating.

The evening concluded with a memorial rememberance of classmates who have passed on. We have lost so many and it was good to recall their memory as their name was read and a candle lit in their honour.

Sunday morning the class traveled to Lake Charles, La. and the home of Gene and Shively Lampson. Their home overlooks Lake Charles with a beautiful view of the water. This for many of us was the high light of the reunion. A wonderful brunch had been prepared for all to enjoy. The weather was just right to be able to enjoy the garden atmosphere around the pool and the spacious home where we could come together once more.

It became quite obvious everyone was having a great time as talk began as to when we were going to have another reunion. It appears from all the subsequent emails that there is great interest in having another gathering before our typical 5 years. Talk is of having a 70th birthday party for all to come together and enjoy.

Soooooo..... as soon as some of us recoup from this reunion, I suppose we will start planning for a birthday party... : )
