We
had a wonderful time at the reunion. The reunion
committee deserves a lot of credit for all their hard work in making these
get-togethers so much fun. As usual, it went by far too fast. More than once, people could be heard talking about how
important this extended family is to us all. As one of our reunion
committee members said at the Saturday evening dinner, these reunions are the
most enjoyable group therapy sessions we could ever find.
The next reunion cannot come soon enough. Thanks to all of you for coming,
and to those who couldn't make it, we hope you get to the next one - we missed
you.

We
didn't vote, but it is a safe bet that Marty would have topped the ballot for
the '64 alum who had the most fun at the reunion. Did
Marty ever quit smiling?

Events and Activities
Thursday:
Dinner
on your own - The Class of 64 (along with lots of people from other classes had
a great time at the Cafe Madrid somewhere over on the other side of Dallas
guzzling sangria, Mexican beer, and partaking of muchas tapas)
Opening
Teen Club Dance (And did we ever dance, and party, and dance, and party, and
dance...well, you get the idea!)
Friday:
Outdoor
evening reception with hors d'oeuvres - The Class of 64 held its own in the hors
d'oeurve war and managed to get its share of a very nice spread, some of us more
than others as you will see from the pictures. It was a pleasant evening
on the banks of the canal and we all had a great time visiting.
Group
photographs this evening (not Saturday!) - We all managed to convene at the
right time and the results are shown above.
Teen
Club Dance follows reception - (And did we ever dance, and party, and dance, and
party...)
Saturday:
Open
meeting with the Association Executive Committee - Some of us were sleeping off
the aftereffects of the night before during this activity.
Unofficial
MHS 64 "Do Drop In" party arranged by Jill, Janice, and Pam in their
suite - It lasted longer than planned and everyone had a good time. Lots
of MHS memorabilia materialized and we spent time looking through annuals, old
"Knightlines," and lots of other stuff we hadn't seen since leaving
Madrid.
Evening
dinner/dance in the Las Colinas Ballroom - It was the last major gathering of
the reunion and we wanted it to go on as long as possible. Advance scouts
from the Class of 64 arrived early, staked out tables, and that particular era
of MHS gathered in the same general area. It was a terrific evening - the
gals looked even more beautiful than they did at the proms, and the guys
actually acted like adults, most of the time. We danced until we couldn't
any more and then we reconvened in the hotel lobby until the wee hours.
Marty and his very patient and understanding wife, Lisa, Junior H., and several
others got together with their guitars and serenaded us all for hours (Real
talent there and Lisa has a wonderful singing voice).
Sunday:
Plated
breakfast/closing remarks: We had to catch planes or get in our cars for
the treks back to reality, but we hung around as long as possible saying our
farewells.
The Dallas 2002 Reunion was held at the "Omni
Mandalay Hotel, "...located on the Euro-inspired Mandalay Canal in the Las
Colinas master-planned community of Irving, TX." (And not too far from a
number of well-stocked liquor stores.)
