Wow! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
First, we had more than 6000 hits on our Web site, though Bonnie and I were about 2000 of them since we got so excited every day checking to see who signed up. I know people who have crackberrys hate us!
There were over 300 people Saturday night (they stopped counting). There were at least 140 at Mercury Moon, and if fact, they were holding people outside of the bar. (I am still re-cooping from this if you know what I mean, but god it was fun! They had to kick us out at 2am, OUCH!) It was so surreal.... so casual and just about rekindling those old friendships. Nothing pretentious about it. If you did not have fun, then get a life, because this was the bomb!
It is so great to see how well everyone is doing. I think everyone had a great time unless they were lying to us.
Bonnie and I have decided to keep this site up for networking, more pictures and an information site for the future. Everyone seems to want a 25 year reunion, and I know we are up to the challenge. It will be easier since we found so many people. (Is the INTERNET not amazing?).
If you would like to see more photos you can go to http://www.michellehenryfoto.com/ to purchase great pictures with all of your old friends. You can also purchase a reunion video for $10 (plus shipping and handling) if you did not come. You really need one of these, because it was a heck of a lot of work. This will help fund our next reunion and pay for the Web sites.
Please post your personal photos on this site so everyone can see how great or not so great they looked. Ha Ha. Everyone looked great to me, but maybe I had way too much to drink. Thanks for the ride home Todd Vann.
Since this was all a VOLUNTEER EFFORT, we want to thank, with big gratitude, our committee:
**Carmen and Erik Kasper (decorations and name tags)
**Winston Horton and Pat Calder for the directory
**Cathy Lewis Wilson (and her techy husband) for all of the great memorabilia
**Lisa Soupal Truluck for the awards
**Jennifer Johannes McLean for providing her beautiful OPHS kids for registration and the Last Will and Testaments
** Rory Eggers (he went to 9Th grade at OP, graduated from St. Johns and owns the Cypress Club and Ballroom, and Mercury Moon) We apparently had one of the largest events they have ever had. We could not have done it with out them.
Well, Bonnie and I will be in therapy now, since we are so addicted to this event and MySpace. If you really want to have fun, get a MySpace page. We found a number of people this way and I have been on it for nights at a time. Bonnie taught me to instant message and that's when I really got hooked. I am such a total geek, but I really need some friends. www.myspace.com/edenjordan Bonnie's is www.myspace.com/jaxprdiva.
Well to all of you we say goodbye for now. We love you all and hope that everyone will please keep in touch. There is nothing like home and old friends. See you at the 25th! People are already planning mini get togethers so keep watching for updates.
GO RAIDERS!
Rock On! God Bless, Keep safe, and please, keep in touch!
Still most Spirited
