BCCHS Class of 1963 50th Reunion: 50th REUNION CELEBRATION

The BCCHS Class of 1963 celebrated our 50th Reunion with the enthusiasm and liveliness of a group of graduating seniors. The cries of delight at recognizing school friends, the hugs, backslaps, handshakes and lively conversations were plentiful over the three events. The sounds of laughter were proof that we were still capable of having a really good time, with a touch of sadness at times over the loss of so many classmates, who will be forever missing from our lives.

Even the morning showers couldn't dampen the spirits of over 50 classmates attending the brunch. Janice Geiger shared her spacious home with us and made us all feel welcome. We were greeted Saturday night by a beautifully decorated room, thanks to Lana Bittner and Linda LeBrun and a delicious dinner that seemed to satisfy everyone's palate.

Bill McCleary entertained us with his humorous dialog and comments about our biographical information, sparing few but skillfully making us laugh at his observations. Thank you, Bill for agreeing to take on this task and doing a superb job.

Thank you Rickard Ross for your presentation and Barb Teigen for your reunion mementos.

Thanks to the generosity of many classmates, there was an abundance of door prizes that seemed to please everyone on the receiving end.

Here are a few of the comments received from classmates.
