| May 2004 Hello Classmates! Our 50th class reunion has come and gone and a wonderful time was had by all who attended. We missed those of you who couldn't be with us and hope to see you at our next event! Bob Cleland was our emcee who entertained us so well with his many talents and humor. Everyone enjoyed co-emcee Earl Hartman's now famous slide show of the people and places we so fondly remember from our days at WHS and the "burg". The ballroom looked beautiful and the evening went all too quickly. A relaxing Sunday brunch with a memorial service to our departed classmates ended a wonderful weekend. Many thanks to the reunion committee once again for your hard work. We thank you so very much for your donations. Because of your thoughtful responses, we were able to give many door prizes and make a generous donation to Wilkinsburg High School. They were able to buy Student Recognition and Honor display cases to be placed outside the principal's office. We hope the students of Wilkinsburg High School will derive a degree of satisfaction and pride in the work displayed in these cases. Please send me any 50th
reunion pictures you would like put in the WHS website.
Or if you want to write a short note about your weekend at our
50th, please send that along too. Until later, I wish you
God's blessings and we hope to see you again soon. Pat Baxmeier
and the WHS Reunion Committee |
