Our 40th Reunion was a HUGE success!
On Saturday night, October 11, 2008 at Thirsty's 2, we had 105 classmates and guests in attendance, including a number of classmates who attended their very first class reunion. There was plenty of "catching up and reconnecting", food, drinks, dancing and sharing old stories. Classmates came from California, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and all parts of North Carolina.
From all accounts, everybody had a great time! In the coming days, we will attempt to post pictures.
A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED!
