50th Reunion - Mary Baker Carrajat edition

I might have known. The first classmate to send photos and videos of the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1962 is Mary Baker Carrajat who also happened to be the first responder to the blog when it started. Way to go, Mary!

Did everyone sign the banner?

Here's a few photos in slideshow format:

Mary's husband, Wes, took a few short videos the night before the reunion.

This is a first taste of the happenings at the reunion. There will be more. Stay tuned.

Addendum: 9/17/2012

 I asked Mary; What do you remember the most about the reunion.? This was her response:
                                                                                                                                                

"I think I will remember laughter.... everyone was delighted to see and talk and be with each other.   The 'delighted' shriek because at first you didn't recognize someone.... and then the 'Oh' when recognition hit.  No more (if you remember our classes) A, B and C classes..... we are all in the same place now.   Charlie Mattina was recognized and given a gift for all the work he did/does to keep us together and informed.   And Nancy and Willis were thanked for opening their house to us all.   And you were mentioned, too, for your blog.   Nancy Whalen honored all our classmates who have passed on.   Our famous Bernie Worrell was, too, mentioned.   The food, soda, beer, wine... all flowed and was wonderful, as did the hugs and kisses. 

"We all hope to have another, but who knows.....  we're not (as you know) getting any younger.   But this was well worth the efforts that the commitee members put in, so maybe there will be another.... 10 years?   After all  in 10 years.... ages 77 - 78 .... these days that is not old at ALL."

Addendum two, later that same day:

I am not at all pleased with the slide show presentation I did on Mary's photos. It does not do anyone justice. It's just OK for a quick review. All of Mary's photos, except for the top photo, are now in a set on Flickr. [Click the link]. Much better quality. You can make comments on individual photos there if you like. Just click on the first photo and you're off. Tip: Don't use the slide show there.
