The day after...

I can't believe it's over! We had the best time!!!

We had a few RSVP'd Alumni not attend, and additions at the door. We ended up with 95 Alumni, and a total of 154 guests. For those who couldn't make it, we missed you, and you missed out on a great evening. Although it was supposed to end at midnight, Maari & I left around 1:30 accompanied by the last few guests - Chris, Jeff, John, Dusty, Derek, & Jim.


We cannot express how much fun we had planning, and being there for this once in a lifetime experience! It could not have been the success that it was without all of you that came. We ended up with plenty of food, and the alcohol held it's own too. It was hot and it was loud. (THE BAND WAS FABULOUS!) A tremendous THANKS to "Burien City Ballbangers". YOU ROCKED!

Every bone in my body hurts. I didn't sit the entire day, but it was so worth it! I ended up with just under 300 pictures! Please e-mail us some of yours. I know many of you took quite a few too. I'd like to get as many as I can by September 14th. (You'll find out why a few weeks after that :)




It was great that some of you brought additional memorabilia. I am going to take some time to copy some of the videos to DVD, so we can have those memories for years to come. It was fun to look through the pics too. I hope you all had time to look through them. (If you left anything behind, Maari took them home, and will contact you.)

I had a lot of people ask about e-mail lists so that we can all keep in touch. Once I've absorbed everything that has happened over the last few days, I will gather them all together and figure out the best way to get them to you. Thanks again to all who came from out of the area. It was unexpected, and appreciated that you made the trip.

Although it was a lot of work, I had such a great time, that I would definately do it again. Maybe a little simpler, but, yes...I think I would definately do it again!

We'll keep this blog and our e-mail account jfkclassof88@gmail.com open as long as there remains interest in it. Feel free to send information requests here, and I'll do my best to comply. I would be happy to remain an alumni information liason for our class.

I won't ever forget this experience. Thanks again!
