CLASS OF 1965
45TH REUNION

Brightwaters NY, October 22nd and 23rd, 2010.


Friday evening supper at Brandt and Sandy's home. From the head of the table clockwise: Sandy Rising, Mike Bruce, Bob Tilden, Barbara Kemp, Joe Williams, the back of Brandt's head, and Holt Apgar. We spent most of the evening around the table, talking back and forth while time stood still. We broke up just before 2AM.

At the end of Saturday's dinner, discussion wandered to the 50th reunion. Dave Pratt took charge of the discussion, and led us throgh the yearbook page by page. As each name was read, Holly wrote down their last known whereabouts, and different ways that we might find them.

Perhaps the "red eye" was the usual camera flash problem, or maybe it showed how serious David was about gathering everybody for the 50th reunion.
