CLASS REUNIONS CLASS OF 1963 REVS UP FOR 50 th Reunion BY TIM O’HEA ’63 “50 years!?! Are you kidding me!?!” That was pretty much my reaction when I learned that our high school class of 1963 was going to be celebrating our 50 th reunion this year. So I did the math thing - you know: 2013 minus 1963 = 50. Dang! But still, I thought that just wasn’t right. Fifty year reunions are for old people! Then someone reminded me that a few of us have grandchildren in college so we pretty much qualify as old people. Actually, I am pretty pumped for our upcoming reunion which will be held on Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, 2013. The primary reason for my enthusiasm is that our reunion committee has been working really hard to make this the best 50 th reunion that Marian has ever hosted. Okay, we know there has only been one other - just sayin’. Our first priority has been to try to contact every single classmate to be sure that they know when and where the reunion will be held. We are determined to make this a casual, fun time for old friends to renew acquaintances and to share remembrances of our high school days. We might even find the time to share an adult beverage or two. As of today, we have contacted 130 of our 187 classmates and we intend to keep working until we contact them all. Another reason that we are so excited about this gathering is because our class has been participating in an “e-mail reunion” for the past five years. We currently have a total of 115 classmates hooked up in this group. Most have shared a “bio” of their lives since graduation. The stories have been incredible. Our classmates have stepped foot in every country in the world, and have shared many different experiences that have made us laugh and cry. We have learned so many things about our classmates that we never believed possible, and some we have thought “That doesn’t surprise me.” This forum has even brought together some who have lived only a few miles from each other without knowing it. Our plans for the weekend include a very casual get-together on Friday evening, October 25. It happens to be on a weekend that does not include a home football game at MCHS because we didn’t want to create any distractions that would keep us from eating, drinking, and conversing. It will take place in the corridor outside the “old gym” (how appropriate) which is where we spent all our time after school “back in the day.” The food will be provided by (who else?) Aurelio’s of Homewood. There will be an open bar and tours of the school will be available for those so inclined. Trust me, there is a lot more there now to see. Saturday festivities begin with Mass at MCHS followed by our reunion dinner at Idlewild Country Club. We plan on a great evening of fun, filled with surprises. There are even rumors that some lucky attendee may drive home in a brand new car. (Editor’s note: You can’t believe everything you hear.) Of course, you would have to be in attendance to win. But, enough... can’t ruin all the surprises. If any of our classmates are out there reading this, please plan to attend our reunion in October. We had a wonderful four years together, and it would be great to renew friendships and laugh about those innocent times. I know you will not be disappointed and if, for whatever reason, you will not be able to attend but would like to participate in our email reunion, just email me at teohea17@aol.com. Cheers!
