Our 45th reunion started on Thursday, February 16th. While some of us arrived the day before most were arriving Thursday. Harvey and Jan’s room was the central pickup point for Thursday as the hospitality suite would not be available till Friday evening. So we jam packed all the reunion bags/raffle items/t-shirts/etc into a small 12’x12′ room and people started to arrive to pickup their “reunion goodie bag”. As they arrived, no one left!
