I just wanted to tell you that we had an unbelievably successful #1 School Class of 1959 Reunion the weekend of November 12-14. We had 40 people altogether...About 27 classmates who came from all over (Florida, Vermont, Mississippi, Arkansas, Virigina, Maine, and New York State), plus some brave spouses. We even had one teacher, Mrs. Arlene Stolnitz, who came up from Florida for the event. We had a school tour, an Open House, a dinner at Tay House, and a Sunday brunch. We put together a booklet with bios from everyone, telling about their last 51 years, nametags with our 7th grade pictures on them, a #1 School Trivia Quiz, '50's music and decor, and display boards with old pictures, memorabilia, and pictures of all the houses that each person lived in. Mel Levi actually set an alarm for 4:30 a.m. so he could skype with us from Israel Friday night. It went beyond our wildest expectations, and everyone is still circulating rave e-mail reviews about it. I'll send you a few pictures so you can see what it was like.
