From Susan Brown Bennett: “Thanks for all your hard work organizing the reunion. I had a great time. I like the idea of having the official get-together every 5 years. There might even be a bigger turn out at future events especially as the economy improves. I was surprised to find out that so many of our classmates had relocated. “

From Pat Urbut: “Hi! I received an e mail from Lourdes Morris Garrick expressing interest in a reunion next year. She hopes that some more come who did not show this time.”

From Jim Weimar: “I am all for it and would be happy to help out again. I really enjoyed it. Roger Smith asked me to call him re: meeting for lunch, any one interested? Also Don Mullaney and his wife Carol would like to get together, if any one is interested just call or e-mail.”

From Lourdes Morris Garrick: “Thanks for organizing such a fun reunion. I had a wonderful time. It was so good to see you again. And a special thank you for the terrific web site.”

From Joan Challingsworth Goliak: “The accolades are rolling in as they should be! It was such a nice party and everyone really connected. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you again.”

From Frank Ganser: “”We had a great time at the re-union.You did a fantastic job.Thanks for everything.

Mike Shaughnessy has submitted his update for the website. There is a great picture of Mike and some of his family, and a few paragraphs of info on what Mike is doing now. Unfortunately, Mike will not be attending, but he does say he will raise a glass or two that night in a toast.

He also mentions this in his update:
“Question for the class: does anyone else remember a day in late spring of ’59 when a group of St. E alums celebrating their 50th stopped outside of our classroom? I “think” I recall that scene and hearing Marilou Gannon and some of the other girls commenting on how strange it would be to come back after 50 years.”

Anyone else remember that???

That is going to eat into what we thought we had available for flowers, a cake, little prizes, etc. The committee is discussing now how to handle the cash bar tab. More updates as they become available. All thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
