Thank You All So Much!
A big, heart-felt thanks to everyone attending the Reunion! If you stood back and watched for a while, what became apparent was that people were genuinely happy to see one another.
There are a number of people who deserve some special recognition for their assistance to the Reunion Committee:
-Mike Fincannon & Mike Butler, whose tireless work and timely posts on Facebook helped keep everyone informed (even on some last minute changes).
-Mary Sickler, our non-RHS helper and friend, who assisted Sharon (Russell) Jackson on our email address database & eBlasts and continues to do so.
-Jeanne (Mason) Hamilton, who created that beautiful Richardson High School – Class of ’68 – 50th Reunion banner that you saw hanging behind you in the photo-taking area.
-Martha (Perryman) Fitzgerald, who helped in selecting the annual photos that were shown during the Reunion.
-Sally Woodward, who assisted Kathy (Keller) Owens and Charlotte (Lawson) Frazier on the beautiful (and helpful) name tags.
-Mike Colville, “Website Mike,” who helped us to develop and maintain our website and continues to do so.
-Michael O’Brien, “DJ Mike.” Michael had something to do with the development and final product of EVERYTHING you heard on the sound system or saw on the big screens at the Reunion.
To those of you who went above and beyond and donated to the Reunion scholarship fund, please know that you allowed others to attend. You are appreciated.
To those of you who contacted us after the Reunion to offer financial assistance in the event that we couldn’t meet our financial obligations, we really appreciate you, too! After all is said and done, we are glad to report that all expenses are paid; and we have a balance of $3.34 to the good! (Seed money for the next reunion or event!)
Our final tally was 185 people in attendance. The number of 1968 classmates, teachers & coaches was 131. Nine (9) of our guests were RHS grads from other class years. Seventeen (17) of our class came from out of state and approximately 30 came from outside of the DFW Metroplex, from the far reaches of Texas.
DJ Mike’s Reunion photos have appeared on Facebook, along with those supplied by some of our classmates. To see them, search “RHS ’68 Reunion” on Facebook and now all of DJ Mike’s photos have be added to the “Photo Gallery” of this site. Additionally, we will be adding any photos you send to us via reunionphotos68@outlook.com.
There is never enough time to see and talk to everyone, but at least you now have email addresses for those you missed. Our large contingent from the Texas Hill Country has talked about a local gathering down there and we’ve heard other “localized” suggestions.
Again, it wouldn’t have been the joyous occasion that it was, if you hadn’t been there. Thank you!
Happy Trails to you . . . Until we meet again.
