We had a great turnout of classmates and guests at each event: Golf – 11, Smithfield Tour – 17, Friday social at Bull & Bones – 64, Saturday Picnic at Sutphin Farm – 78 and Saturday evening BBQ at German Club Manor – 63. Two classmates attended their 1st reunion since graduation and nearly a dozen have a perfect attendance for all reunions, thus far.

While the majority of us still reside in Virginia and nearby states, Ted Hurst traveled all the way from Colorado, Kurt Myers from Arizona , Jean Michael (Shick) from Maine and Carol Stockton (Mackinder) made it from Michigan to attend the 45th!

We collected some $4001 in fees and contributions for the reunion, which covered expenses of $3770, leaving us a reserve of $231 to be applied to our 50th Reunion activities.

We were able to locate (verified email or postal mail addresses) all but 21 members of the Class of 1964 and invited each of them to the 45th. We’ll do our best, with your help, to maintain and update contact information plus find the missing “21” between now and our 50th Reunion. Setting dates and location for the 50th soon and keeping in touch via the website and email, will hopefully allow for even greater classmate attendance in 2014.

Fifty-seven of you have registered on the website and hopefully will check back often for new information and keep your email address current thru 2014.

Reflecting on years past, it seems that our class was “closer” than most and for many of us each reunion brings us even closer … renewing old friendships and adding new ones… appreciating each other to a greater extent as the years go by. Anyone who attended can tell you that there were a lot of smiling faces and laughter and just warm feelings … a truly nice, personally rejuvenating experience. We spent much time reminiscing, including remembering and missing classmates who could not attend. It felt really special to be together again.
