Looking forward to the Reunion.  Some of you who know me well might remember that I tend to think in rhyme, especially when it comes to special occasions.   As I have looked forward to our 50th Reunion I did write the following:

NBH Class of 1968 50th Reunion

Our high school days so long ago, are memories sweet and dear.

Different for each that gather now, but that's what brought us here.

Those fifty years were filled by each with great variety -

With education, jobs and travel, some raised a family.

Still many served our country here or off in foreign lands;

Some taught, some preached and others were creative with heart and hands.

Its such a joy to meet you now in Raleigh once again,

To see those known so long ago and also meet new friends.

Our class so large, so many years ....  and now our memories taxed;

I'll understand (hope you will too), if there's a memory lapse!

But wether first, or once again we gather here to dine,

Great thanks to to those who worked so hard to plan this special time.

Some of you may remember that I wrote the words to our Senior Song : 

1968 Senior Song  (to the Junior Class) – To the Tune of “More"

More than the wonders of our Senior Year,

      More than the joy and laughter and the tears;

More than the memories and the times we’ve shared,

           Our treasured teachers and the friends who cared;

More than you’ll ever know,

           We leave, but we’ll miss you so,

The times that we’ve had together

           Are the kind that last forever.

You will have one more year at Broughton High,

           And all too quickly it can pass you by;

You are the Seniors next in line,

           And your year will be just fine.

So enjoy your special time.

Made me a little teary-eyed :-)

You are a talent.  Thanks.

Dan

You are very kind!  I look forward to seeing you at the Reunion. 

Taks care,

Natalie,

You capture thoughts that I have about our gathering, but express those thoughts in a way that seems much more eloquent than I can muster.   I look forward to seeing all that have been with us - if only in spirit - during our collective journey through life.  It will be good to see everyone.

Aloha,

Ray

Natalie, Your poem was perfect for the occasion! So fun to see you and many others.  Vicki
