The sunshine the delicious air,
The fragrance of the flowers, were there.

The 25th Reunion was July 4th weekend with 84 classmates returning for the reunion - pretty good for a class of about 200!

Starting with a family picnic at Nancy & Phil's home on Friday July 3rd, Sully promised good weather with no flooding, but had a tent up "just in case"!  The backyard was transformed with two gold and white tents, tables set with gold tablecloths and floral bouquets compliments of Keyes Florists. There were many hugs, lots of time to admire children, much laughter, and just plain talk. We didn't have any set program, but just let everyone relax, eat, and catch up on the last 25 years.

Saturday, July 4th, the dinner dance was held at the Northampton Hilton, beginning with cocktails under the pavilion at 6:30, it was warm, clear night. We moved inside for dinner and afterwards, Richard Lafrenier provided the dance music as a disc jockey featuring all of the favorites from the 50's and 60's. The dance crowd was very enthusiastic as some never left the floor! The cost was $25.00 for dinner and entertainment. Saturday evening was video taped by Ken Hinkey of

Live each season as it passes;
breath the air; drink the drink;
taste the fruit; and resign yourself
to the influences of each.

-Henry David Thoreau
