So we had a 40th Reunion!

(It was the weekend of Sept 27, 2019)

It was a ton of fun and we will probably do it again in 2024.  We are sorry if we missed you. 

Please sign up for the mailing list if you want to get informative emails about the next one.   Of course, if you have changed your email address, please sign up AGAIN.  We want to be sure everyone at least know about the next reunion.

 The Facebook group is much more active than the email list and, if you participate in the discussions, you might be able to influence party details.  Maybe even help out?  So join the Facebook Group too, if you do Facebook . . .

Don’t miss the next Reunion!
