The 50th Reunion - Day Two

In the early afternoon, John O'Hare led a bunch of us on a tour of downtown Buffalo. Then at 5 p.m., many gathered at the Pierce Arrow Museum for dinner and conversation. 

The 50th Reunion - Day One

This featured a tour of the school, a visit to Duff's for lunch at Eastern Hills Mall (it may not be there in five years), and an evening at the concert "Rock the Barn" on Main Street in Clarence. Here are some photos:

(Budd donated a copy of his books to the Clarence school system, and some were in the high school library. He couldn't resist making them a bit more visible.

 

More from the 45th Year Reunion ...

Kathy Herle McCarthy has unlocked her photo album to share these with everyone ... you're on your own for identifications. But we haven't changed that much in 45 years, right?

The Year We All Turned 50

The class gathered in 2005 for a large 50th birthday party. Tim and Julie Porter donated their house for the occasion, which was quite nice for them. Here are a few photos from that occasion.

The highlight of this Saturday morning round of golf when Chris Bailey's drive from the men's tee barely reached the ladies' tee. Others in the group immediately asked for a recount of the election for Student Council President.

When Deb Milbrand makes a point, she is emphatic about it.

How did Monica Porter, Tim and Julie's daughter, get to light the candles for the cake? Maybe she didn't trust 50-year-olds to keep the lighter steady.

When it comes to plumbing, no one does it better than Bill Irr.

The 40th Reunion in 2013

 I didn't take a great many photos at this event, which was held in Williamsville. But, you might recognize some classmates.

This was taken in the West Gym, now known as the library. We can check to see if it has changed much when a tour of the school will be staged on Friday of Reunion Weekend.

OK, the girls need to pose first. Chivalry is not dead.

And now the boys. I wonder how many of those kneeling for the photo would be able to get up quickly now. 

There was a color photo album produced from that reunion; let's hope someone brings it along.
