Reunion 2012

It had been a while since Class of 1971 held a reunion, but we had one in August of 2012 that was a huge success. It was held at Houndslake County Club and featured good food, music, and lots of time for renewing old acquaintances.

Sandra Best, Charlie Miller, Mary George Bunch — Sandra Best (AHS ’69) who helped at check-in desk, Charlie Miller (Reunion 2012 Chairman), Mary George Bunch (Reunion 2012 Treasurer) Thanks to you all!

A large number of people took part in planning and organizing the event, but the person responsible for getting it all going was Charlie Miller. We all thank Charlie for his hard work.

Another word of thanks is in order for Mary George Bunch and her husband Jim. Mary served as Treasurer for the Reunionion, and Jim was the official photographer.

Around 167 people attended, including 111 members of the Class of ’71, 53 spouses and partners. Two members of the Class of ’69, Sandra Best Pierce and Pat Pinkard, helped by checking in guests as they arrived. This is very appreciated, as it frees up all the 1971 Class Members to enjoy the party. Pat Scott, President of the Class of 1972 also attended, and we were all happy to see him.
