This Can't be Us!

Another year has passed
And we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter
And winter seems much colder.

There was a time not long ago
When life was quite a blast
Now I fully understand
About 'Living in the Past'

We used to go to weddings,
Football games and lunches
Now we go to funeral homes
And after-funeral brunches

We used to have hangovers,
From parties that were fun
Now we suffer body aches
And sometimes have the runs

We used to go out dining,
And couldn't get our fill
Now we ask for doggie bags,
Come home and take a pill

We used to often travel
To places near and far
Now we get sore a$$es
From riding in the car

We used to go to nightclubs
And drink a lot of booze
Now we stay home at night
And watch the evening news

That, my friend is how life is,
And now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up.........
Before you're too darn old!!

What's Happenin'

The reunion committee held a coast-to-coast meeting last night.  Quite a few things were discussed.

First, classmates will be getting a letter sometime this summer with full information about the reunion - the date, the place, the menu, lodging for out-of-towners, the cost.  Replies will need to be received by a specific date, along with your menu choice and a check.  Those who reply past the cut-off date will need to send a different amount.  Time is of the essence.

Plans for the weekend will include a home football game on Friday night, October 4, probably with a special section for us all to sit together, and an informal get-together after the game at the Willow Inn for anyone interested.  Saturday, October 5, we'll most likely have a tour of the school to see all the changes and additions.  Saturday night will be the reunion dinner-dance at Villa Barolo in Warrington.  You can take a look at their website, www.villabarolo.com, to check out the menu (see the dinner package for $28.95 for the entree choices).

We're working out a deal with the Hampton Inn close to the restaurant to block a group of rooms.

But before we can send out letters, we must have current addresses for our classmates.  Our "alphabet girls" have been working diligently to locate everyone, but there are still some missing.  Take a look at the list of missing and see if you know anyone or have any information at all about the whereabouts of these classmates.  Any little clue will help!  Just leave a comment and we'll take it from there.  We really want to reach as many classmates as we can.

I'll post a link to this blog again on Facebook in various groups to enlist all the help we can get.  If you read this blog but your address isn't listed, either add it yourself (in the comment section) or e-mail it to me (pistilli2012@ymail.com).  If you just want to let us know that you're alive and kicking but don't want your address listed or don't want to receive reunion information, that's OK too - just let us know.

October is getting closer by the day!
