EJHS72 Reunion – Great!!

It has been an amazing two months,  reconnecting with 72ers and building up to a wonderful night full of hugs, laughter, and great memories … some remembered, and many new memories made.! 

Special thanks to Howard Longway .. who made the event incredibly memorable by helping us to remember so much!!

To Gene – with his wonderful gift of music and sound, to Kayte – who added her sparkle and song to the mix, to Marycatherine and Donna who planned and decorated and made it fun and beautiful, and to Jeanne, whose flash and camera will help us to remember for next time!

This has to be one of the most memorable nights I have had in a long time.   As many people have said, there were a lot of people I wanted to talk to more and didn’t get the chance…   That is a sign of a good thing, to leave wanting more!   Finally, a thank you to everyone who came and made the night amazing!!

What to Wear?

The best part of a 40th High School Reunion, is that you have nothing left to prove!  You are who you are, leading you back to where you started high school — only a whole lot smarter and wiser!

This is a “Come as Who You Are” event!! If you are comfortable, then so are we!! Wear whatever makes you feel good… be it a flannel shirt, gymnastic leotard, or that little black dress — (would look great on anyone, they say!) — it’s up to you!  

Official Statement: Casual (it is a barbecue — inside), and from 10-11 there is a fire in the firepit (with s’mores) for those who want to go outside!!

LOCAL ALERT!!

 As odd as it seems, 72ers who live 30-40 miles from Essex         — or even IN Essex — are not getting back and registering for this epic event!

Think about it … you are not going to get another chance to attend your 40th reunion, and there is no guarantee that the world (or you) will be here for the 45th or 50th!!!

      YOU won’t wanna miss this!!

People have been asking about YOU!

Two Weeks to go — Update ~~~

What a beautiful Vermont summer day!! We are ordering up another day just like this for next Saturday.  We had a wonderful meeting a with the event organizer at the Inn at Essex (Cindy Dolan’s niece).  All the details have been carefully planned, and a good time is expected for all!  We are going to have a BONFIRE!  From 10-11 p.m. there will be a bonfire at the pit outside. S’mores and a good time! And that is just the finale, wait until you see the reunion program!

We have found and contacted almost 80% of our classmates, and have a definite 50 people registered for the party.  There are many more who have said they are going to come, but haven’t registered yet — you know who you are!  This has been a really fun week, talking to old classmates and remembering things that happened and other people.  Found Maureen, who has been great and tracking down some of the last hidden classmates!!   For the next two weeks, it is important that we continue contacting classmates.  Right now, today, there are only 10 DAYS left to reserve a seat at the table.  It would be a shame to miss this great party! 

Mary Kate (formerly known as Mary Catherine) has joined the organizing team, and is putting together information and et cetera for classmates who are ill and/or unable to attend. Please let us know if there is someone we should put on this list.

Is there someone you want to see at the party?
  You better get on the phone and call to remind them!

We NEED pictures, videos, etc for DVD show … which should be available with the reunion booklet!  Remember, this makes a great 2012 End-of-the-World present!
