Class of '64

Another e-mail from one of our friends:

Dear Granite Ghosts, Thanks so much for surrounding Connie and I tonight as we sang the Song of the G standing next to the seal. We truly sang our hearts out. It was a fun but a long, hot evening. I just got home (yes, it is nearly 11pm). Bart was there to help too. Well, Bart was paid. Connie and I were volunteers. It was the last reunion scheduled to meet in the building, the class of '64. I was made an honorary member of the class and am now a full fledged Granitian. We had a blast in the auditorium, it rocked! We all sang songs from the '60's. We ate steak and salmon in the cafeteria with glass plates, linen tablecloths, etc. Odd prizes were given to people who had 1. been single the longest 2. drove a car older than 15 years (I almost won that one.) 3. had accrued the most frequent flier miles 3. served the longest in the military, etc. I got teary when the military people stood up and remembered their classmates who died in VietNam. Connie and I spent several hours in the alumni room upstairs. She, of course, knew everyone. The evening ended with thunder and lightning. I guess you ghosts had a rockin' good time. Watch over Bart since he's probably still there. Pam

Pam,

We were just glad to hear your voice again, along with all our friends from '64. Bart, along with his crew, did so much to make our school shine again, of course we will watch over him. Thank you for coming by, and we hope to see you, and the rest, again for the Judge game on October 8th. We will do our best to make sure the weather is great for you all, but no matter what we are looking forward to hearing you again as you eat dinner in the school during half-time.

See you then.
