30 Years

It seems like we just gathered for our 20 year reunion and yet, here we are celebrating 30 years. 

The street dance didn’t happen on Friday night thanks to a bunch of rain, but we were able to take in a bit of the band after gathering at Keri’s house and then joined the classes of 90 and 91up at the bar. The usual suspects showed up and it was nice to catch up with everyone. 

Because of Covid, honor years from the 00 and the 01 were recognized this year. That meant twice as many speeches and potentially a painful banquet, but the representatives were (mostly) brisk and it wasn’t as painful as it has been in the past (or we are just getting older. Matt Heineman and I gave the speedy speech for our class. Of course, I thought of better things to say AFTER the speech. Alas, I survived with what I had. Marshall was a GREAT sport and he hung in there through the social hour and dinner before cutting out early. 

It was nice to have the class of 1990 there as I haven’t been able to catch up with many of those folks for a long time. The after party on Saturday evening was very nice and the boys ended up hanging in the basement with Pender kids which is what I love about having them come back to town. Definitely small town life! 

All in all, we had 15 classmates (over 50% of the class) show up for some part of the weekend. That seems about as good as we are going to get.
