I hope we weren't the only ones. I have just finished reading it. First of all, thank you for a great job to the yearbook team and indeed to all who helped with the reunion. I had a great time. As I read I am amazed at the many accomplishments, journeys, families, and interests of our class. I feel privileged to have been a part of the class of 1961 and I am grateful to have grown up in Elkhart. I have fond memories of so many of you. Many more good years to all of you and I hope to see you at the next reunion. If any of you get to Oregon, do get in touch.

I especially enjoyed seeing pictures of "old" classmates and old and new sights of Elkhart. I was so disappointed that I wasn't able to get back to Elkhart for the 50th festivities, so the slide show was a real treat for me. Thank you again for sharing with everyone.
