Thanks to everyone who was able to attend the reunion that was held this year on March 30, 2007. We had about 120 people there and it was so nice to see old friends and renew our friendships from many years ago. From the smiles and warm greetings I saw take place, I know everyone was happy to be there.
The Bateman's, I'm sure, were very happy with the turnout and were so excited for the event to take place. I know it meant a lot to them to see you all, and we all missed those weren't able to be in attendance.
Thanks to those who came in from long distances to be there--Nigel Giddy from Ireland, Mike Whitlock from Virginia, Ron Jewer from Ontario, Canada, Robert Lyman from Texas, Rory Adams, Teri Lang Nickel and Maurine Carr Wise from Idaho, Mindy Moody FLake, Mike Flake, Bryan Packham, Laura Bateman Boelter and the Bateman's from Arizona, Bruce Hage from Washington, James Munafo from Colorado. There were also several who came in from long distances to be there. We appreciate your efforts to be with us.
Thank you to Jeri Turner Bankhead who worked behind the scenes and made sure we had plenty of food and kept me on track with the plans.
Thanks to Cody Estes for contributing her creative producing skills on the DVD and to all those who contributed pictures for the DVD.
Below are some of the pictures from the reunion. I hope you all had a wonderful time--I know I did.
