Class of 1963 (Last revised November 17, 2019) 45th Reunion 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - September 8, 2008
Hi folks,
Well, we all made it back in one piece. It was
a great to host the 3 day event for our 45th year Class reunion for
the Class of 63. I keep saying it's the last one I'm doing,
but especially now that Tom Oakes has "volunteered" to do the next
one in Florida, I'll help him buy the wine!! Georgia
says I've had more farewell tours than Cher when it comes to
throwing reunions!
A lot of thanks goes out first off to Frank Wyckoff,
Tom Oakes, Mark Baldwin (hosting his own web site), Chrise Wyckoff,
Karen Oakes and to those of you who have made it a fun event,
regardless of the fact that we had a storm hitting the area.
We started off Friday evening with a
dinner at the Meadowbrook Inn, Tannersville, hosted by Frank
Wyckoff. Great meal, great company! We then headed back
to our lake house and had a bonfire down at the lake doing wine and
marshmallow s'mores! Different. The weather was clear
and no sight of a storm brewing, except for Mark Baldwin's hourly
reports of doom and gloom. Little did Mark know, that rain
brings out the party fever and we had a ball the next day, ask his
wife, Nancy. We got soaked setting up everything, but good
wine somehow smoothes everything out. People started showing
up and then the caterer brought in a great meal for us. We
topped the night off with a local singer who absolutely wowed
everyone in the room singing all of our old favorites! Plus,
we still have a number of us who can still dance up a storm!
Wyckoff's, Bogdan's and Oakes' were able to spend
the night at our place and we had a nice breakfast Sunday morning
and said our goodbyes until next time. I am proud that Georgia
and I were able to host these events over the years. It is
something we enjoyed doing and we can only hope that it provided
good memories for you. One person said why continue, we're
only getting older now. Well, now might just be the time to
keep it going. I've seen our personalities change as we get
older and see the maturity of good people simply getting better with
age. Our little class of '63 is made up of some special people
who possess some unique talents. If you have the opportunity
to attend the next one, whether it be local or not, do yourself a
favor, make the effort. It will be well worth it my friends.
For Georgia and I,
All the best.

What Happens at the Lake So, at least, claims the sign hanging in the living room of Georgia & Ernie's home at Alpine Lake in the Pocono Mountains at Henryville, Pennsylvania! The weather wasn't as good as the two fall scenes below depict, but we braved the rains of Tropical Storm Hanna and with a little relocating to their home and the installation of some make-shift canvas umbrellas over their back deck, the event came off without a hitch. We had some rain, but no wind. With about 30 people in attendance we partied from late morning until after midnight. And those who rented lodging in the area were there for a sunny and comfortable morning breakfast.
Below are some quick photos which I have processed. Those of you who were in attendance who have better pictures are encouraged to forward them to me in JPEG format for inclusion here on the site. We will be getting pictures of the Friday night bonfire and Sunday breakfast group as well in the days to come. Please point out any errors in naming people!
Thank you,
