I received the following message from Tom O'Day (via Judi Rolley White) that he wishes posted on our blog. My apologies to Tom. I received this back in late November, 2013 and thought it had been published, but just found it tonight sitting in a draft file!!
A Note To The
Class From Tom O'Day
A quote from a card I received when my brother Ed passed
away, "And by memories that live in our hearts", brings me to thank
our class for the past five reunions.
I was able to see my brother more in the last 5 years
than in the previous 10 due to our "never ending" class reunions.
These are now "precious moments".
Thanks to you
all, Tom
What a beautiful sentiment!! I could not agree with Tom more! It is often said at our reunion meetings that we don't really need the reunions - let's just keep on having our meetings!! I have personally thoroughly enjoyed every meeting, dinner and reunion that I have been able to get to! Reconnecting to old friends and sharing the old stories and memories that we each have - has been priceless. It always amazes me to find out that some event that was such a big deal to some folks in the past, is barely remembered by others that shared the same event!
