Letter from
your 55th Reunion Chairman
Dear
1956 CHS Committee Members,
The reunion weekend was fabulous from beginning to end.
Your planning was evident in every detail. From the hotel, the Golf Tournament,
Friday night social, Saturday luncheon, class program “Walking Down Memory
Lane”, Comedy Fashion Show, memorabilia, posters, and wasn’t the BBQ
something else?
Dick Rapier, thank you for the website. It
was so well done and wonderfully informative and fun. And, just for you
attending the reunion when you have such a busy schedule.
We really appreciate all your hard work keeping up the CHS website and
for the ten years of your dedication.
Fred Benford, for all your communicating efforts through
the many e-mails you sent promoting our reunion.
And, for your part in the class program. Thank you for your continued
support helping pull our classmates all together.
Jo Russell, faithful to attend our many meetings driving
from
Fred Boyd, thank you for taking on the responsibility of
the Golf Tournament with such determination and making it happen.
And, for being such a good sport as our “Class Money Man” in the
Comedy Fashion Show.
Dick Gable, thank you for taking charge of communicating
with the hotel, making sure that all the necessary arrangements were made for
our classmates. And, for being such
a good sport modeling that black and white checkered dress.
That was a brave thing to do. Thank
you.
Paul Edwards, who attended our initial kickoff planning
meetings, and was so kind to do the research into various hotels.
Sorry you were unable to make the reunion.
You were missed.
Marilyn Gilmer, thank you for taking so many pictures of
meetings and the golf tournament. You did a great job narrating the fashion show
and helping with the program. And, you were always available to help when we
needed you.
Ed, and Susan Wheeler, thank you both for attending our
meetings, taking charge of the preparation of food for the Friday Night Social.
You both should be commended. And, Ed, what an inspirational presentation
for “Constitution Day.”
Homer Hopper, for attending meetings, bringing food, and
sharing your talent in our program. And, doing right by your pregnant bride in
the Comedy Fashion Show.
Carolyn Eads, for attending meetings, taking part in “
Ernie Haley, who finally explained what we had often
wondered about, what did bagpipers wear under those skirts?
We found out in his bagpipe presentation.
Ernie is quite an accomplished classmate.
Thank you Ernie.
Sherry Adams Clark, and Ardis Arnold Manning, thank you for
helping with all the registration duties.
Allen Keenan, who, in a very sly way maneuvered me into
Chairing the 55th Class Reunion.
He knew very well what he was doing.
He attended a few of our meetings, and I suspect to see if we were
meeting his expectations. Thank you Allen.
And, last but not least, Dick Wisher, who is my strength,
and is always there to help me out. He
provided us with our props, sound system, moved equipment, cleaned up after the
party, and provided us with food and drink on many occasions.
Many thanks to the classmates who stayed over to help with
the clean-up.
Most of all, the relaxed atmosphere seemed to be a
reflection of the committee's camaraderie. Fifteen months of work rewarded.
Again, I, and so many others had an absolutely wonderful weekend
and thank you all for your dedication to our amazing 55th CHS reunion.
Thank you, classmates for attending.
See you at the 60th Class Reunion.
Warm regards,
Aline Wisher - Chairman
Jacqueline Wilson – Co-Chairman
