The celebrating is over, but the warm memories will stay with us for years to come! A huge thank you to our ten-member Reunion Committee: Terry Schordock, Cindy Millen, Marty Neal, Bonnie Reisland, Sarah Zatik, Lee Girman, Loxi & Alex Verdova, and Steve & Kathy Ott, who started planning a year and a half before the event. It was a pleasure to pull everyone together for the weekend and even those who were unable to attend hopefully feel they are more connected than ever before.

Thanks again for a lifetime of memories from our reunion last week! In every conversation I had, I always recognized the essential character of the person that I’d known for so long - sometimes in the case of Taft classmates as long as 60 years ago. Though we change in many ways, our fundamental essence somehow remains the same. The slideshow was outstanding. Thanks again to the committee for a very memorable gathering. - David Conte
Such a wonderful event! Thanks for organizing! - Susan Bell Miner
