"Had a great time. It was great seeing everyone. I only wish I had had the time to catch up with each and every one of you to hear what's been happening in your lives these past 25 years."
"What a night! I walked in the door and ran into two people that I lost track of them and they are both in the Rochester area. It was fun reconnecting with old friends and also making a few "new" ones in the process. And I thought it was great that people brought yearbooks, I forgot mine at home. Afterwards a small group of us went down to Shorts and caught up even more. It was a great night, can't wait to do this again in 5 years!"

Picnic
"Fun. I enjoyed seeing our classmates again."
Detailed Thoughts:
Why did you attend?
"Missed the 20th which I had planned to attend. So, when the 25th rolled around, I wasn't about to miss it and the opportunity to catch up with former friends and classmates."
"I came to see people."
What were your expectations?
"Don't know that I had any expectations. I was looking forward to seeing people, perhaps even reconnecting with people I hadn't seen in years and hearing their stories about what they've been doing since HS."
Did you talk to someone you didn't know?
"No, I knew everyone I spoke with, can't say we were good friends, but most had been classmates at some point or another."
"I talked to as many people I could. I met two classmates that I did not
know who are now teachers and my daughter had one, it was very nice to
meet them."What were your observations?
"I'm impressed, you all look great! And people have done fairly well for themselves - a testament to the education we received at FHS. I was also quite impressed with the number of folks who traveled, in some cases, great distances to attend the reunion."
"I was at my husband's 30th reunion the night before ours and thought they
were starting to look OLD! I was very surprised to see how good our
classmates looked."What impressions did you take away?
"It was a small group, yet it made it easier to get around and talk to
people. I did like the food and having the resturant to ourselves."Are you glad you came?
"Definitely!!! I would do it again in a heart beat."
"Yes, I had a great time."
Message:
"No excuses! Hopefully you can make it for the next one."
"Many local people who I talked to that said they were not coming said they
hated to make small talk or they keep in touch with people they knew. I
am always amazed when I have gone, the memories that I recall of people in
Elementary school on up and have fun laughing about the silly things we
did. I think it is disappointing for those who travel in to find out the
local people are not there."Freeform:
"First and foremost, I would like to thank those of you who put the whole weekend together. I was very impressed with the range of events you planned - something for everyone. I only wish I had taken part in more of the festivities. "
"ALL Classmates Matter"
"Thanks for planning this and all the hard work in such a short time. "
