We have just come down, caught a few hours sleep etc., from a fantastic weekend at the reunion. It was so wonderful to see so many happy faces, hear so much laughter and be caught in so many hugs! As Peter Weldon said, there was a tremendous atmosphere of love in the air (no not the high school kind but the true "glad you exist kind!") Amazing how easy it is to let the years melt away. Something we both appreciated was how the barriers of different ages, years of graduation or other classes were broken down. It didn't matter who you were, we had shared the halls of old Bramalea... the best high school you ever did see! Thank you so very much to the crew who pulled us together.... you were the facilitators and without your work, our memories would not have been resurrected. It can sometimes be a terribly critized job but YOU DID IT! To all who attended, it was great to see you, to those who missed it, we probably brought your names! To everyone ....see you at the next reunion! (50 years?) Jennifer & Jeff Rock (Bramalea)

Jennifer and Jeff, it was great seeing you guys on Friday evening at the Beer Garden/Wine and Cheese Party. Karen (Wilson) and I had a great time on the Friday evening, but didn't attend the Gala unfortunately. It was interesting how many people from the seventies showed up. Both Karen and I found that people became more familiar the longer we talked to them. At first it was tough recognizing people after almost 30 years, but once you saw the name tag, and then after talking to them for a few minutes, the years just started to melt away, and people began to look familiar. I particularly noticed this with Jeff when he smiled or laughed, and all of a sudden he looked like Jeff from 30 years ago.

Jennifer, I missed seeing you on Friday night. I had a wonderful time and I agree that the reunion committee did a fantastic job! Thanks to all who worked so hard and hope to see you all again at the 50th?! (omigosh I'll be 56 by then!)
