A Good Time was had by All!

The 55th Class Reunion is in the books - over and done.  Over 80 participants gathered to share memories of those high school days gone by.  There were lots of familiar faces and the nametags were also helpful. 

We missed those of you that could not be there for the event but look forward to seeing you in the future.

Pictures of the even will be posted as soon as they are processed by the photographer. 

A list of participants will also be posted.

By popular demand, here is the poem written by our very own poet Jill Ferguson and read to the group during her remarks:

Ode to East Meck Eagles

I think that I shall never see

Such beautiful faces as I see in these

Faces that bring back the past

Filled with memories that fade too fast

Faces that show trials untold

When oh when did we get so old

Look at our wrinkles here and there

Little brown spots, scars everywhere

And why didn’t they tell us way back then

That our baby fat would return and win

Our brains once sharp as a tack

Now, a little something quite often they lack

Oh no, here’s a person headed for me

Just who the heck are they supposed to be

Who cares if it takes GPS to show the way

It’s fifty-five long years since graduation day

Don’t try to compare, don’t try to assess

Truth be told, most of us are a bit of a mess

So dear friends, after all is said and done

We’re blessed to be here, pretend we’re still young

Please raise your glass to Gregg and Harry

And thank them for this chance to be merry

But before we resume our chatter and fun …

Remember who you are and where you are from!

You are Cordially Invited
