The DAHS Class of 1960's 45th Year Reunion Weekend has come and gone. We thank every Class Member that submitted their Class Member Info Questionnaire, Reservation Form and Reunion Feedback Form. We also, thank every Class Member and Guest, that in someway participated in a part of the Reunion Weekend, for making it a fun-enjoyable-successful Reunion Weekend.

Even though the Reunion Weekend was damped with steady rain, it did not stop everyone from having an enjoyable time attending the Reunion Events, and seeing and talking with those attending.

Friday - October 7, 2005
The Reunion Weekend started out with the Informal Get-Together, at the Leader Heights Diner and Quarter Deck, Leader Heights RD and Route 83, it started at 8:00PM. Even the rain water leaking through the roof and into the private room we were in, did not stop everyone from having a fun and enjoyable time. For those that wanted, food and drinks were avaiable. It was a pay as you go Event.

Next was the DAHS Tour on Saturday morning, it started at 10:00AM, two and one half hours later the tour ended, Dr. Alan L. Fauth, the new DAHS Principle, did a superb job as our tour guide. The Tour started with a briefing in the auditorium, by Dr. Fauth. After the briefing we Dr. Fauth guided us through DAHS, and gave very detailed explanation of the facilities, the present school curriculum, etc.. Those attending the Tour were impressed with the time and detail Dr. Fauth used to present the Tour.

*Good time of the year for reunion
*Perfect. Except for the rain. Maybe the Reunion Planning Committee can control the weather too!?
*Best time of the year.
*It was just wonderful. Hard to believe 45 years have pasted by.
*Really doesn't matter to me. If I had to travel a distance I'd probably try to plan the Reunion with some other travel plans.
*Good time of the year.
* I think that the fall is a good time to hold the reunion.
*Time of year is fine. It's good we didn't plan to go to a football game.

*The Reunion Weekend was held about the right time of year, considering everybody's busy schedule.
*I think this is a good time to have the Reunion!

Comments, complaints, etc. about the 45th Year Reunion Informal Get-Together Friday night:
*We enjoy that time. It's very relaxing.
*Good "ice-breaker" for the Reunion Weekend.
*A little soggy, but the Get-Together was very nice.
*It was okay, but the leaks from all the rain were embarassing. I think we need a fire hall, etc., where we control the room and have more space to socialize. We need a little something planned for this event, too!
*Had a good time.
*The place was OK, except for the leaky roof.
*Okay, with the exception of the water buckets at the Quarterdeck.
*Although I attended, it could have been eliminated from the schedule.
*It was fun, to bad more didn't show. To bad it had to rain on the inside as well as outside!

Comments, complaints, etc. about the 45th Year Reunion DAHS Tour Saturday morning:
*My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Time well spent.
*My daughter and I both enjoyed it very much.
*Excellent. Great guide (Dr. Allan L. Fauth, Principle). Really showed and explained a lot more, than I was expecting.
*WOW!!
*The Tour was excellent. The new Principle (Dr. Allan L. Fauth) did a great job of relating to our "age group." I really enjoyed the opportunity to see how DAHS has improved for its students!
*I thought this was great. Enjoyed it very much.
*I think that was a good idea and I should have come, but didn't.
*Was so glad I got to see the new DAHS! Really appreciated the fact that the principal took us on the Tour.

Comments, complaints, etc. about the 45th Year Reunion Saturday evening/night:
*Love to eat out. I don't have to cook. HA! HA! And we enjoy being with everyone.
*Very well done. Good food. Lots of time to socialize, and great idea to do door prizes.
*Great evening, well planned, food was delicious. Thands to the Reunion Planning Commitee for all of its work and planning all year long.
*No complaints. A big thanks to ALL of the Reunion Planning Committee Members for all of their effort.
*Great!
*Mabe a larger room to allow more mingling without traffic jams.
*Very nice.
*Very enjoyable, good food.
*The buffet was great. I liked the location, but think there should be a "Short Program" of some sort. It was good to have everyone introduced. (Need a microphone though!)
*I liked the fact that we were in a room by ourselves and that there was no band playing in that room. I thought that everything was handled well, and the food was good. I thought that the room was a little small for the size of our group so that it was a little difficult to mingle around.
*I enjoy going to the Holiday Inn and like the buffet dinner - more choices.
*The buffet could have had more variety of meats and vegetables.
*It was just "The BEST", everything went well.

Comments, complaints, etc. about the 45th Year Reunion Breakfast Sunday morning:
*Good idea!
*I liked the idea of the Sunday AM Get-Together for breakfast.
*Was unable to attend because of responsibilities at my church.
*Okay.
*If you have this in the schedule again, plan to have it at another location.
*Only that we couldn't all eat together. And that we didn't need our umbrellas inside!!, like all the rain on Friday nite! Wish more Class Members could have attended!!

Comments, questions, complaints, etc., concerning the 45th Year Reunion or anything else, for YOUR Reunion Planning Committee:
*All of the activities were great.
*Seems like the Committee did a great job, I know it takes a lot of time and planning to get people together. Planning the weekend is something not many reunions do.
*You all did a great job. We had a wonderful evening. The Hotel Yorktowne or Heritage Hills, would be great places for future events.
*Keeping us in touch through the computer/email/class web sites is great. Enjoyed the Class Members' Info Book, shared it with Class Members who couldn't be there.
*Keeping in touch is very much appreciated. Cannot understand why Class Members do not at least keep in touch.
*The Reunion Planning Committee did a terrific job.
*Should also give prizes to people who have the most grandchildren, travel the fartherest, etc..
*Thanks to you for arranging another spectacular alumni weekend. Neither we do not attend our college reunions, but we never miss the DAHS Class of 1960's Reunions. We appreciate the Committee's your hard work.
*Thanks for great Class Reunion, I really enjoyed it.
*Good job Planning Committee.
*I think a variety of activities so that Class Members can choose what they prefer to attend was a great idea. There were different folks at each event we planned. Thanks to all of the Committee Members who hosted the meetings!!
*I think you ALL do a wonderful job. Thanks very much for all the hard work.
*I appreciate all for the work that the Committee does in planning and arranging reunions. And I especially like the website that allows me to keep up to date on any information that is added at any time.
*I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into planning our events! It must take a lot of time. You do a great job!
*I just want to thank all Committee Members for all their work, looking forward to planning the 50th Reunion.
