Come and Gone: By the time you read this in the hard copy of Checkpoints, our 50th reunion will be squiggly lines of memories coursing their ways through what remains of the gray matter housed in our ever-thickening skulls. Regardless of how those memories are working out for you, a lot of work went into planning and executing the reunion by a handful of classmates who truly put service before self. Those classmates deserve recognition, and what better place to be recognized than in the magazine named after the little gold book that was the basis for innumerable squat thrusts, wall bracings, and opportunities to spend precious one-on-one sessions with some of our favorite upperclassmen.
Members of the Reunion Committee were Jeff Hackett, Chairman; Dick Dye, Vice Chairman and Local AreaRepresentative (and guy who talked Jeff back off the cliff on numerous occasions); Larry Bryant, Memorial Ceremony; Rich Chanick, Financial Assistance Leader; Frank Christian, Mementos Leader; Mickey Clemons, Football Seating and Tailgate Leader; Bruce Fritzche, GBNF Next-of-Kin Liaison; Duane Lodrige, Evening Events and Entertainment Leader; Mike O’Shea, Pickleball Tournament Leader; and Kent Traylor, Golf Tournament Leader.
The Atoners: In the last issue of CP, I made mention of the fact that the inputs I was expecting from couples who had recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversaries turned out to be more of a trickle than a deluge. The unannounced grace period for sending in an anniversary notification was one month after the publication of the September issue of CP. Those are the rules, and I’m duty bound to follow them. You are unerringly correct if you think the rules are made up on the fly, but scribes are not known for their fairness nearly as much as they are known for their strict adherence to artificialities.
