Hey all …

Cass has sent a few pics to share from the reunion.

Cass Suwinski, Brad Funkhouser, Jenny (or Julie) Wagner,

Julie (or Jenny) Wagner and Laura Reis pose.

Shelly Gaietto, Brad Funkhouser and Cass check out

grade school pictures.

The group poses for a, well, group picture.

Remember this: We bought this rug as our going-away

present to Calvert High — something for the kids to wipe

their shoes on.

Andy Collet and Amy Clouse create the banner that will

remind us in five years who showed up and who didn’t.

OK … that’s all the pics I’m posting for now. I’ll try to get more.

Hey all …

I think everyone who attended the reunion will agree: What a great time.

Brad and Cass, you guys did a wonderful job organizing the reunion … and Brad, you went above and beyond the call of duty.

Deana, your party last night was great … Thanks for inviting us into your beautiful home.
Nick … Sorry I wasn’t able to make it to your home today. I’m sure you guys had a wonderful time …If you got any pictures, make sure to share a few of them.

Speaking of which … when I get some time, I’ll be sure to sift through mine from the weekend and post ‘em to the blog. Cass, I know you and your wife got some pics … Please, share ‘em. If you’d like, shoot me an e-mail with them attached.

As for the rest of you … I had a truly wonderful time seeing you and catching up. I don’t know about the rest of you, I had so many memories knockin’ around this weekend. It was really, really cool.

Bally, Pablo, Pol, Zack … you were the topic of many conversations. (All good, of course.) Sorry you couldn’t be there, but we made the best of your absences.

I plan to keep this blog — or some variation of it — alive for the foreseeable future. I’ll also work on my e-mail list. I have about 25 names and addresses, and I’ll try to get e-mail addresses for the rest you.

Meantime … Again, it was a really special weekend. I’m happy to have seen so many of you.

I just got an e-mail from one Steve Hoffman … He’s planning to attend Friday night festivities at the Clover Club, though he won’t be able to make the reunion Saturday.

He said that Dave Kennedy, originally booked for a trip to Iraq, will attend Friday, as well. This is news to me.

Dave … please confirm this rumor.  Hope you are, indeed, going to be present. If so, put a cold one on my tab.

Brad sent news …
Dinner on Saturday will be a buffet with Chicken and Beef, and there will be a veggie tray for the cocktail hour.
The bad news, however, to keep the cost down we’re having a cash bar.
“So bring drinking cash,” says Mr. Funkhouser.

Aaron/Nick …
how’s the golf outing shaping up? Will you be able to get some pictures? If possible, do so. I’ll try to put together a collection for viewing later on the web site.
thanks …

Hey all …
I talked with Tony Mass. He’s already to see us at Calvert at 1 p.m. Saturday. Unfortunately, he says all the locker combinations have been changed … That means I won’t be able to access the secret comparment where I kept my high school stash, I suppose.
Oh well … the beer’s probably gone bad by now.
Let’s meet out in front on Saturday … I’m bringing the digital camera, so I’ll try to get some pics to use later.

Hey all …

Brad and Cass, by Monday, Sept. 11, need to get numbers finalized for the reunion dinner on Saturday, Sept. 16. If you plan to attend, but haven’t RSVP’d, you’ll need to contact Brad at bradtfunk@comcast.net or Cass and do it pronto. (Sorry, I’m at work and don’t have Cass’ e-mail address. Cass, post your e-mail address if you get this.)….

You can make payment arrangements with Brad.

As of this morning, Brad had 20 confirmed classmates and another 15-17 guests. Pretty good.

Also … if you plan to go to Deanna’s after party … Bring beer. Lots of beer. And, arrange a ride home.

Hi all …

I exchanged e-mails with Brad F. earlier this week. It sounds like the plans for the reunion weekend are coming together nicely.

He’s hoping to have final dinner plans wrapped up this week and invitations out this weekend. So far, the schedule looks something like this:

* Meet at Clover Club (ah, the Clover Club, I haven’t been there in a few years) Friday night and wish Dave Kennedy well prior to his departure to Iraq.

* A golf scramble, coordinated by Aaron Smith, Saturday morning.

* Cocktails and dinner at the Hampton Inn on Saturday night.

* An after-Reunion Party at Deanna Reedy’s house on Tecumseh Drive (across from Hampton Inn.

* 9:30 a.m. Mass Sunday at St Joe’s for Jackie Wagner and other class relatives

* A family get together/swim party at Nick’s house mid-day on Sunday.

Sounds great, Brad. Event-planning is difficult. You deserve a pat on the back (or a beer at the Clover Club) for your work.

Jeff

Don’t know much at this point …Brad F. says it’s on Sept. 16 … a whole weekend of activities possibly … Beers on Friday, Mass and reunion on Saturday … and a picnic of some sort on Sunday.
