Hi everyone!!

Well whether you were there or not we felt your presence. Everyone arrived close to noon at the Belvedere Cookhouse and everyone looked glorious
in their casual attire. The food was excellent, the service was excellent, the drinks were excellent, the arts and crafts were excellent :), cameras flickered,
the video cam kept rolling, toasts were raised for many who were there and those who couldn't be, toasts of those past, toasts to the teachers and all the students who went to McKee, we then cut the cake and distributed it as fast as we could. Lar and Fran had to leave a little early as they had a birthday party to go to, it was Frans. We then said our goodbyes after everyone packed some cake to go, the few door prizes that were won along with some Gimp string. It was all over too quickly so we vowed to try again soon in the new year but during that time we will all keep in touch. Feel free to share addresses and phone numbers. Thank you Nancy for your e mail today we hope your leg is getting better. Don't sweat not getting back to us late, you did and that's all that matters. There is never any real ideal time to respond in e mail, everyone is allowed their own pace.

Barb, we have two big cake pieces for you and Paul in the freezer. The video turned out excellent everyone except for the toasting part, I turned the camera off instead of on....sorry guys. The rest of the 24 minute video is a blast. DVD's to follow. Lila has plenty of the toasting still shots. Send in what photos you have, we'll sort them out and get them onto the web site. The hand tracings were left behind so when I send out the DVD's I will include a hand tracing.

Well that's it for now. Thanks everyone for coming out, we all helped to get this off the ground and hopefully over the years we can stay in touch and have more FUN!!

Much Love Chuck and Lila
