Saturday Evening Dinner

Saturday Night Formal Dinner at Glen Oak Country Club

Our formal buffet-style dinner included a visit from retired Glenbard math teacher, Mr Holmes, who is still as dignified and gracious as he was 50 years ago. Group photos were taken, including several comprised of grade school classmates who have known each other for more than six decades.

Those who couldn't attend this reunion were noted and missed, and we raised a glass to fellow classmates who have passed on while Rick Jones wonderfully sang Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'.

No one really said goodbye at the end of the evening. The general sentiment was we should get together again for our 55th Reunion - a very fine idea indeed!
