With about a month to go before the reunion, here is where we stand:
I have heard from 16 (23.2%) of you.
These people have replied and plan to attend:
- Amy Rush
- Craig Boyers
- Craig and Joy Cline Heatwole
- Ed Bollinger (he better attend–he offered his truck to help me set up stuff)
- Jenny Shenk Mahone
- Jeremy Nafziger (who has no choice in the matter)
- Patty Matheny Baisden
- Suzanne Kiblinger Kratz
- Valerie Brunk Hertzler
All told, counting kids and spouses, that’s close to 40 people. My backyard appears smaller and smaller…
These people replied and, though they are varying degress of heartbroken about it, will not be able to make it:
- Andrea Garrison Baibeche (she lives in Puerto Rico)
- Donna Shenk Sensenig (she lives in Goshen, which, you know, isn’t really that far away)
- Jeana Driver Golin (she lives in Thailand, which, you know, really is pretty far away)
- LaRee Miller Eby (she lives in Oregon. Maybe we could hire some charter flight starting in Thailand, passing through Oregon, stopping in Goshen, and really get some people showing up)
- Corey Ross (he lives in England)
- Lawson Yoder (he lives in Egypt. OK, I haven’t actually heard from Law, because he apparently hasn’t learned how to operate an Egyptian e-mail machine since moving there this summer, but you got to figure….)
The rest of you, now’s the time! For the record, I tried to Google up some people for whom we don’t have a current address and who have less-than-common names. I found a few mentions of Faben Assegid, but the e-mails got returned. Anyone know where Fofi is?

Jer, I hope as of 3:30 this afternoon (Friday), my truck will belong to someone else. I have a Blazer that could still be useful for hauling stuff, and barring sickness or injury I should still be useful for heavy lifting and smart aleck comments.
Love,
ED

Jer, hve you heard from Chris Thompson or Brent? They are both still around.
September 14, 2007 at 7:04 pm
I obviously can’t spell anymore.

Jer, have you heard from Chris Thompson or Brent? They are both still around. Also, I think Rene Rhodes will be coming, and I think Debbie Layman (not sure what her married name is) still lives in the area.

I left this so Ed won’t be the only one who leaves a comment on the blog. How are you Ed?

Mark thanks for posting so I don’t feel like such a reunion dork. Are you coming to the reunion? As to your question, I am well. I don’t feel as young as I would like to but I can’t complain. I still think of myself as stuck at age 25 even though the mirror tells me otherwise. Of course, I’ve always looked old for my age. How are you? Where are you these days?

Ed (and anyone else who’s reading this),
I’m doing well. We’re back in Pittsburgh where I’m a biomedical engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon University (where Laura and I met in college).
We’ll be at the reunion. Are you going to wear your letter-sweater (I remember that!)?
September 27, 2007 at 5:43 am
I don’t think the letter sweater exists anymore. I still have the letter somewhere, but the sweater itself was retired soon after its introduction.
