The 45th Reunion held October 8th through the 10th, 2004, was another smashing success. John Polacek knows how to throw a party! It was a pleasure being back at the William Tell. Friday's cocktail party was a time for reminiscing and catching up with old friends. Saturday during the day was filled with activities including the homecoming football game. Saturday night was a family style dinner and a little dancing. While the DJ played a great mix of 50's music, many were still interested in talking the night away. Sundays brunch was highlighted by the fact that those that attended were reluctant to leave. In addition, There were a couple of grade school reunions that were very successful. We received a very warm welcome during the tours of the buildings and in some cases brought into the class rooms an introduced to the students. We are going to try to make this a bigger part of of the 50th reunion. You can click on all of these pictures to make them larger. |

"To the non-attendees: |
|
Paul Shoener, John Shankland |
|
| I
too want to express my thanks to John P, John S, and everyone
else who worked on the reunion. I really
enjoyed having the opportunity to get back in touch with so
many of our classmates.
When I walked into the dinner Saturday night I knew that there were 150 very interesting people in the room that I was connected with in a very important way. I am only sorry that there was not time to visit with more people. I look forward to seeing many of you
again in five years if not before."

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!!! We
owe a great big thanks to Sue Slivka Johnson for the yummy Hawaiian treats
she provided at her expense for our desert at the Saturday dinner. She's a
lady with all of the right spirit. My husband, David, and I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for all you and John P. did to make it such a success. ,,,,, Sally Sawyer Bodlak "All I can say is FUN,
FUN, FUN!!!!! :-)"

| "Yeah,
thanks, Sue! With macadamia nuts for treats the reunion was just about complete! We could have used at
least two more academia nuts (Graves and Janicki), but we did have
Stack.
I enjoyed seeing everyone, wish I'd had a chance to visit more with some but was surprised and delighted to catch up with old photo buddy Jack Beller and the long-lost Mayo Walcott, whose parents were good friends of mine from the 1940s in St. Paul on through the '60s in LaGrange -- and meet the wives of both those guys. And I was tickled that my whole famdamily showed up for an hour or so and met some of you. The 50th is right around the corner!
Cheers!"
