“What an amazing and eventful week-end! Thank you so much! Our high school graduating class is unusual in that people love to see each other and there are a core of us who want to stay connected.

Thank You so much again Bon for an outstanding job. It was a blast. I know it was alot of work. Linda Scandura Kuczak

Larry Johnson -Urania -Johniece and Andrea

“Thank you so much for making the reunion possible. The way I feel right now I’m not too sure I could handle another. I had a great time, I wouldn’t trade it for anything…I’ll be honest, I’m kind of bummed out. I wasn’t satisfied just shaking hands with my old friends and then not being able to spend more time with them. It was the nature of the beast (I guess), we had to move on to say “hi” to everyone. We were cramming 6 pounds of sand into a one pound bag. To ALL of my wonderful friends from McPherson and Amundsen, you deserve nothing but the best, you’re the greatest bunch of people I’ve ever had the pleasure of being with and I’ll forever think of you.” Larry Johnson

Cathy Amato and Al Gerber

I too, am thinking about people, events, moments. You and the reunion have reached me deeply.          Alan Gerber

Annette Tamraz Rizzo and Mr. Bohme

The teachers up here cannot believe what a great time I had in Chicago with the class and their spouses (spice?). When I think of how happy most of you are and the fine things you have done with your lives and are continuing to do, I am happy, hopeful, and realize I must work even harder with the kids up here. As you said in one of your emails, we will get together again in five years.  I can hardly wait.                      Alan Bohme
