Somebody with more savvy than me, please list committees needed. Nancy? Julie? Beth? Brenda? Lainie? I suggested. Chairpersons: Beth and Brenda First Committee: Set up semi-formal dinner. Will have to get busy tagging the room for the occasion. Probably needs money downpayment or something Second Committee: Buddy and Bill; Set up Talent Show that will follow dinner Third Committee: Lainie for the T-Shirts. She will look over the suggested logos, choose one, seek out the prices, etc. etc. and if Brenda's suggestd of the people in her building sounds best. Lainie...you could consider that. Another Committee: To organize an outdoor barbecue if enough people want one. We may have to tag a pavillion for a certain evening. Another Committee: to organize a baseball game if everybody wants one. We may have to tag the ball field for a certain time. This is just babble. When Johnnie and I set up Aunt Lucille's two reunions for her, I just remember working my hind legs off. Johnnie called all the shots, and I just did what she told me to do. Aunt Lucille forked over $20,000 for the first occasion, and I can't remember the second. Okay….I have one “yea” for organizing committees.

Alex was very much in favor of it, and he and Lorrie are going to make every effort to come. It isn't likely Erin and Meghan, his two daughters, will be able to take off a whole week of work, but they could perhaps take off for a weekend. Maybe the last weekend. They took "dance" all of their lives. Lorrie was a dancer. Maybe Erin and Meghan could be persuaded to put on their old dancing shoes again and dance us a jig. All of this is pure conjecture. But conjecture got the Wright Brothers started. No coaxing at all, Bill. Alex was very much in favor of it, and he and Lorrie are going to make every effort to come.

Reading between the lines, it must have taken a bit of coaxing to get him to agree to come. Mom: I concur with everything you've suggested, regarding "committee assignments."

We wouldn't have half the kids without his parents. Just a thought. I am just a little curious as to why it is not in honor of Dad’s parents as well.
