Just wanted to drop a line to say Sandy and I
had a great time Friday night.  The committee
did a real good job putting the reunion together.
I'm sure it took a lot of time. Thanks.

I attended the 5 year and the 30 year reunions.  I enjoyed them, but by far the 50 was the best. I just wanted to say
to everyone that worked on the 50 Year Reunion, "Great Job".  There is no doubt a lot of hours were put into the
planning.  I would like to say thanks to everyone.

I was very glad I attended,

Bill, I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the reunion, both Friday and Saturday nights.  You and
your team did a fantastic job and made the reunion memorable!!  The packets passed out with the name
buttons and mugs were terrific.  The food was delicious
Please tell your committee their work was appreciated.

I’ve attended most of the class reunions, and enjoyed all of them but this 50th certainly was the best.  It was great
seeing everyone, and the golf really let us guys catch up with old times.  Bill you and your committee really went
all out for this one.  There is no doubt a lot of time was
put into the planning and it showed.  I just wanted to say
thanks to everyone and am looking forward to another
one in five years.

To the Class of 1957
I want you to know how very much I appreciate the acknowledgement you showed to both Jim Reynolds and
myself at the 50th Year Reunion a couple of weeks ago.   I was totally surprised by the whole thing.  I have enjoyed
working on our class reunions in the past, and regret that I won't be as active in the future.  The beautiful roses,
the caricature drawing, Janet Scott had done, and the plaque of recognition were overwhelming.
Thanks to the entire Class of 1957 for their kind words of appreciation.

I congratulate you and thank you and the committee members for the best class reunion we've ever had. What you
and the committee members created, was the most friendly and memorable reunion any class could have hoped for.
 -
I also want to pass along my sincere thank you for, and my appreciation of,
the plaques the class presented to Lillian and I for our past services.
-
Also, I'd like to thank Janet Scott for the caricatures she had done, on behalf of the class, for Lillian and I.
-
It was a very big surprise and something I think both of us would have never suspected, or thought we
deserved.  It was extremely thoughtful of you and the committee members.  And the roses given to Lillian and my
wife, Donna, were an added touch.  I realize the effort and time you and the members had to devote to pull off
what I will appropriately call a "World Class, Class Reunion," and I thank you, and those who helped, for putting
the two very special nights together.   Red Dawg, you're the man!!

T0 The Class of 1957-
Dear William Chrisman Class of 1957:  Harold and I thank you for the invitation to your
class reunion.  We had a delightful time and enjoyed the delicious dinner, also.  It is always
a pleasure to see any of the Chrismanites.  (editor's note: Did she mean Chrismaniacs?)

Sorry for the delayed "Thank You".  Harold was taken to Emergency the day after the reunion. He remained
hospitalized for eight days.  He is now under 'Visiting Nurses Care'.  I have learned how to give IV's at home. 
Thank you again for a wonderful time.

Very Sincerely,
Oneida Beeman Lorimer

I attended the 20th reunion but the 50th by far was the best.  I just wish I could have gotten around to everyone for
a short visit.  What was especially nice was visiting with my playmate from when I was 10 years old, Eva Brumfield. 
I'm sure we will keep in touch now.
 --
My thanks to the committee for a job well done, but who would expect anything less from the class of '57? 
We were and are the best.

I want to thank you and your great committee for letting me be part of your 50 year reunion.   The committee did a fantastic job getting it together.   There is a lot of work to do getting a reunion together.  I enjoyed getting to see your classmates again especially some I went to grade school with.    I had a great Friday and Saturday night.  I also appreciate the beautiful roses you presented to me.  I was certainly not expecting anything like that.  Again thank you and the committee for letting me help and again it was a great 50th reunion.   Bill and Barb Dawson did some fantastic work getting the whole thing together and I enjoyed getting to know them.  All the committee worked hard on this. 
My part was very small compared to all of the hard work they did but enjoyed being part of it.
