Today we arrived in Downers Grove, IL, for the beginning of our 45th class reunion. Our class did it up right. Fortunately, we had great weather. Ours was the only class to march in the homecoming parade and that was a hoot. We threw a lot of candy to the kids in the crowd and just enjoyed the walk. Someone came up with a convertible which added a lot of class to the effort. There was another class in the parade. The class of 1953. The rode in a senior's bus. Not for me! We went to the football game which the good guys lost, but many more classmates made the scene. The day ended with a trip to the DuPage Inn for, you guessed it, beer. Fun for all.
