It was a good gathering of conversationalists that turned out Thursday, April 28, 2022, for a Hiliners61 Lunch Bunch and pre-reunion planning session at the Valley City Country Club.
Discussion was held regarding the Friday night dinner menu, being coordinated by classmate LouVay (Ruemler) White. It was decided to go with a some pulled pork and some chicken alfredo. The Friday night supper at the Eagles is a ham dinner plus side dishes, served via a buffet.
Barb (Sheppard) Lang led a discussion of us 61ers who wish to participate in the Community Days Parade at approximately 10:00 A.M. Saturday morning. Instead of a float, as was previously used, those who wish to represent our class will ride in open-top cars. Five cars were lined up.
Saturday afternoon is free to do what you came to the reunion for: visiting with classmates. Your blogmeister (that's me, Larry G) previously announced doing my "Early History of Rock-N-Roll" presentation after lunch on Saturday. However, on further thought: I've always advocated keeping planned "events" to a minimum to allow plenty of time for visiting. In scheduling my historical presentation on the origins of the music which formed the soundtrack of our teen years, I was going against what I've long said: reunions should be for re-uniting person-to-person with classmates from our days of yore. We all need plenty of time for these conversations. Hence, you don't have to listen to an ol' geezer like me going on about the records I played on the radio. Thank goodness!
We snapped a couple of very quickly shot photos of the august luncheon participants assembled on Thursday, and they are below: LG - 5-12-2022
