Comments by Jackie Blackwell co-chair Singing Auditorium -

What a Fun Reunion Weekend we had - and just a follow up to say thank you so much - to you for coming & to those who put it together! As we were leaving the Singing Auditorium our dear friend Bill Brock said “I wish we had said a bigger thank you and had a standing ovation to Brad Myers and Tim Rowat, they really made the night!!!” and so, we want to do just that (even though we can't stand!!!).

Thank you so much Brad and Tim for bringing wonderful memories to life in music! It was very special! Speaking of Music - thanks to Martha Upton for her wonderful piano skills & stories too!! Also thanks to the Reunion Team - Marguerite Campbell and Mary Mitchell - I am sure there were others too helping - decorating, registration etc, - great job - thanks so much.  Doug Petch and our Singing Auditorium team too. All in All…a great time was had by all!
