Happy 25th Anniversary!
"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend Come inside! Come inside!"
-Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Bexley High School
Wow! Can you believe it's been a quarter of a century? Where has all the time gone? Well, here we are. To paraphrase a popular Beatle tune, "It was 25 years ago today that Donald Wynkoop sent us off to play..."
A month from now, during July 4th weekend, we will gather together with people we grew up and went to school with, some of whom we haven't seen since receiving our diplomas in that hot and stuffy gymnasium on that first night of June, a quarter century ago.
As you attend any or all of the reunion events, be sure to soak up the excitement of being with other kids you hung around out with, look around and marvel at the vast array of people from all walks of life who go out there every day and accomplish great things that make positive differences in the lives of others as well as brightening up people's days. Doctors, lawyers, educators, artists, stay at home parents, entrepreneuers, as well as media professionals, and everyone else in between. It's just incredible to think about.
Now, what's in name? In recent years, I've seen a person named "Troy Bell" play basketball for Boston College. I've seen my beloved Ohio State football Buckeyes lose to a Michigan State squad quarterbacked by an individual known as "Bill Burke." And, nowadays, a national network evening newscast is anchored by someone identified as "Brian Williams." Small world isn't it?
Many of you might be wonder"Meck, what are you doing here? You don't need a reunion. The last five years has been an ongoing reunion for you." Indeed, it has been my great fortune to have met up with so many of you, not just around town locally, but all across the country, as well. Yes, from Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Toledo, to Scottsdale, Seattle, Petoskey, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Larchmont, I have enjoyed our visits. They are a highlight of my travels and I look forward to more of them in the future. The central Ohio visits in various locales, such as Grandview, the OSU campus area, Bexley, and Pickerington have also been very enjoyable. My thanks to all of you whom I've met up with for making it a great time.
So, how do things stand after 25 years? Great! What does it hold for the future?
"In the year 2525.
If Teri's still alive,
If the rest of the planning committee can survive,
We will have BHS'80 reunion 545!"
But, until then, to review, let's meet up with classmates only at Old Bag of Nails in Bexley on Friday night July 1 from 7-11 pm and follow that up with a dinner for classmates, spouses/sig others on Saturday nigh July 2 starting at 6:30 pm at Rocky Fork Country Club in Gahanna. We'll have a photo taken at 7:30 pm. On Sunday, how about gathering at the Jeffrey Mansion shelter house from 2-5 pm for a family picnic and on Monday, joining us to ride in the Bexley July 4th parade. Meet at Tom Kauffman's, 302 North Ardmore (corner of Ardmore and Maryland) at 8:30 am.
"We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown
were exclusively our own,
All our own. All our own.
Come and see the show! Come and see the show!
Come and see the show! See the show!"
-Emerson Lake and Palmer
Welcome to the show! See you in a month!
