60's Decade Party a HUGE Success!

For those who attended the 1st Annual 60's Decade Party at Thirsty's 2 on Saturday night, November 28, you saw a lot of old friends and, in some cases, Smith alumni that you hadn't seen for 40-45 years.  Over 200 people attended representing the classes of '64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70, '71, and '73.  Thurston and Linda Reeder, owners of Thirsty's 2, declared to make this  an annual event.  So, mark your calendars for the Saturday after Thanksgiving for next year and plan to attend!  (Check out pictures on the 60's Decade Party link on the left).
