The 45th Reunion Menu

It's sort of sad, but I find myself getting more excited about food than..............never mind. For those of you who missed the memo, we are serving some pretty good food (catered by Lukasek Catering Service )and a variety of drinks to wash it down with.

Top Round of Beef (with a carving station no less)
Chicken Marsala
Green Beans Almondine
Rosemary Garlic Potatoes
Pasta con Broccoli
Italian Tossed Salad & Caesar Salad
Hard Rolls with "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"
Coffee (reg/decaf)

AND an unlimited open bar that will offer:
Mixed drinks
Can soda
Draft beer (Bud & Bid Light-ok, it was a St. Louis beer when we started planning)
Wine (my best guess is white and red)

The schedule of events of the evening:
6:00 – 6:30 pm Registration
6:30 pm DJ will start playing music

It's Getting Close To "That Time"

OK, forget about sending in the photo of yourself. As of now we have 0, nada, ZILCH interest in sharing any personal photo's from those fabulous high school days of 1966. But....you could send in a photo of someone else or just photoshop your head onto a hot body and then tell people that you're really, really sorry that you won't be able to make the reunion, and make them eat their heart out with curiosity.

What to wear? Assuming that the weather Will be hot, sticky and maybe raining (what is it with all of this moisture?) I will be wearing something light and cool. Maybe shorts with flip flops if it get into the 100's. Only kidding, I know how everyone in ST. Louis loves to dress up. I will be looking for my multicolor madras pants with two polo shirts (very East Coast, don't you know?)

Anyway, your reunion committee has been hard at work making sure that this gathering is a good, if not better than our last one. Who can forget Mr. Gladstone doing the gator on the dance floor? (you missed that????). Since my memory is fading this time I will bring my camera to capture those magic moments of seeing old friends. .

The only bad news is that I have been told that serveral of our wives will not be attending this reunion. In my case my wife has plans to rotate the tires of our two cars and then watching missed episodes of Glee on Hulu! My guess is that our respective spouses are thinking....."if you can get into trouble at your age, good luck, have fun and don't call me to bail you out of jail until noon on MONDAY!"

Seriously, I will miss the opportunity to meet your respective spouses, but then now we can have more fun talking freely about the really important things in life.....like what options are you going to take in Medicare, the virtues of holding off taking social security, and my favorite, 10 reasons why I have decided not to retire next year.

We're looking forward to seeing all of you. And if you have any special requests for the reunion, get em in sooner than later. And if you haven't sent your money in yet......you will have to beg Sue Day and Joyce Shimamoto on bended knee to take your money late (they are pretty much push overs though, so I wouldn't worry too much).

Take care!
