Well, It's now history.  After 3 months of working each day on the Orlando Reunion, It has come and gone.  There is no way without writing a book to tell everyone how great it was!  There were no snags at all ! The Hotel knocked themselves out for our group!  The  buffet looked like something from a small ocean liner...piles of shrimp, fresh fruit and veggies all surrounded by fresh flowers and flowers made from pineapples and other fresh fruit.  The lumpia and pork stix were gotten by the hotel from a local Fim-Am market as were the Pandasol rolls from the Manila Bakery...all were great!   The chicken adobo was made at the hotel and tho not quite perfect, very close.  The Baron of Beef was perfect.  The cake was about 3 ft square and had the Wagner emblem in the middle with a picture of checkpoint on the left and a pic. of the TeenClub on the
right.  The D.J....an announcer from our local oldies station, had no problem playing everyone's requests. I think Gaye and Dusty danced almost every song along with Terry, Sonny, Howard, V.J and Jeff. When Miss. Senn and I hit the floor, it felt just like we had never left it almost 37 years ago!!  The Tinikling went on for almost half an hour.  One of the high points was Mr. Godbold who is just a COOL as he ever was!  Doug's reading of the list of fallen Falcons to the music of Amazing Grace was very moving and brought tears to many eyes as did Phil B.'s  "Farewell to Clark".  It is not possible to list everyone here who made this so great..so THANKS TO EVERYONE!!  Gaye, you are a trip and I can hardly wait to hear YOUR stories..Salli and Susan, I'll get ya for the underware.  Linda Bechelheimer is to be thanked for all the pictures she (and others) took.  Like Dianne and Eloise said..."For awhile we were all 16 again". Speaking of which, I missed what Dusty Austin and all those girls were doing ON TOP of the pool table... lets see those pictures! Bruce Hills called from Maine and I would hate to pay that ph. bill...!! Anyway, thanks again to all who came!!  The only thing that could have made it better would have been every Alumni there and it lasting for a week!!!  We also raised a nice amount of $ for the Memorial Project.  I'll leave the rest of the report to other folks..so I won't be accused of 'telling tails'...and there are many!!  Later...Danny T '66 

Howard Baugh'61 was watching TV one day when all of a sudden he realizes that he is seeing many of his classmates from 40 years ago.  The show is the Reunion show from Charleston.  He said the hair on his arms and head stood up.   What a surprise!!!!!!!  He immediately went to his computer and put in the URL that he saw on the car in the show.  He spent hours reliving his teen years.  He has an email address  DABAWZ@aol.com.

Danny, Doug, Terry, and Phil - You all really know how to throw a party!  Thank you so much for all your hard work - it really paid off.  Everything was perfect!  The hotel staff was wonderful, the food was beyond good, the entertainment great, the
decorations terrific - still have my leis and bubbles and the name badges - and that CAKE!  Did anyone ever eat it?  It was so neat, hated to cut it!  (Non-attendees: Wait until you see the photos of that cake!).  Even the weather god was good to us - it  was just perfect!

There was just one little eensy-weensy problemo:  I had laryngitis - still have, as a matter of fact - and couldn't do anything more than whisper.   My husband seemed to thorougly enjoy this situation, but it was (and is) utter torture for me!  Barbara Long was instructed by the other '65 slumber party ladies to keep hugging me - hope you (or anyone else) did NOT get my 
laryngitis, Barbara. :-)

Thanks again to all the Orlando crowd for providing such a great time for all of us!

OK, this explains it, I (we) get back from Boston around 6:00PM Saturday nite, drop the folks off and check into the homestead. I tell Darlene that the Wagner Orlando party should be warming up but I'll wait till seven or so to call and wish everone a real "ROCK ON". At 7:00 PM I crank up ole' Ma' Bell and get the hotel, ask to speak to Terry Worsely which I can't pronounce who is with the Wagner reunion poolside. The operator at the hotel, having trouble with my English, efficiently  transfers me to Terry's room where she ain't, Duh. So I ring back and this time speaking much slower with my best Downeast accent explain that Terry is probably poolside where the reunion is going on, OK, we get the bar, but the girl doesn't understand me cause Twist & Shout is blasting and people are screaming and shouting and I tell Darlene sounding like they are having one Hell of a good time without me. So after five minutes of trying to explain to the girl at the bar that Terry is a girl not a guy and yes it is an emergency, and forget Worsely (sp) and go find Terry Kincer the girl, I get Terry on the phone, too kool.  So now I know who was making all the noise and why they can't talk, NO G.D. wonder. My turn in San Diego gang. BruceH64'
