Great fun and laughs were had by all at Rhonda's house. The food and drinks were plenty and the camaraderie between all of us was fantastic. Rhonda, I cannot say enough about what a special treat is was to spend the day at your home by the pool with life long friends! I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Thank you to Rhonda for putting together such a beautiful spread and being so accommodating to all of us. For those that attended, I have heard nothing, but great feedback from you. Rhonda's party was so great that we convinced Dana and Millie to stay in town for the party at Mike's. Rhonda changed her plans for Sat. night and the party at her house ended later than expected because everyone was connecting and having so much fun.

Rhonda has mentioned that she would like to do this again soon and may be open to having an evening get together at her home this fall during an away OSU football game. What a treat to have Rhonda in our class!

Mike's home was the next get together Thank you so much for your hospitality , Mike, and for kindly offering your home to hang out on Saturday evening. The pizza, subs, and other good food were awesome. We decided to get Masey's pizza-Dana had already had her Rubino's fix. Dana and Pete went to pick up the pizza on Pete's motorcycle. Chuck, thanks for bringing such a nice tray of subs! There was plenty of food and drink for all.

Those that came from out of town and from in town-Thanks so much for making the trip and for making time to be together. It was such a treat to get to spend a wonderful Saturday with some very special friends. We also really appreciate the amazing food items that were made and purchased (LOL)-The chicken wings made by Carole, and Millie's cookies and desserts, and Kaki Kozelek and Julia Bloch brought homemade delicacies as well. (Others brought things and please forgive me for not specifically acknowledging each of you for your contributions.) Chuck brought Scotch-pretty strong stuff, eh?!?

Three surprises for me: I did not expect to see Cheri and Tod at Mike's.. thanks so much for making it there, Tod and Cheri!! And Tommy Kaufman dressed as someone from the 70's at Mike's as well.

Finally, I did not expect to get to see Rhonda's home and what a treat that was. She was so kind to take a few of us through it and it truly was/is magnificent.



Next Get togethers:

We are looking at dates in the fall to get together. I have had a few of you suggest some ideas. Feel free to email me with suggestions for another get together sometime in the next 2 months. Let me know so we can get something in the books. I will continue to be persistent with all of you. like big surprise there :>
