Hi everyone ! This is Audrey Leeworthy (Legge) - wanting to give my heartfelt thanks to the crew of organizers for the reunion ! WOW ! What a ride !
I attended only the Saturday evening occasion, and arrived with a high anxiety level - how ON EARTH was I going to recognize anyone, after 50 years ???
Thankfully, our annual pictures were on our nametags - I suspect we would have been in deep trouble without them...
Mingling wasn't the awkward issue it could have been, either. And I actually DID recognize some people, and some people DID actually recognize me ! I was pleased to speak to everyone, whether I had known them at Magee or not... The people who were familiar to me - I had hoped to remember just how we were associated in high school - no such luck, however...some of those leetle grey cells have obviously withered and croaked...
It was amazing to me how we could summarize 50 years of living in just a few minutes - I second a previous commenter that people seem to be "more comfortable in their skin" now and not so much into "doing" at this stage of life...I learned a lot by sharing others' life journeys - thank you, everyone !
It was a pleasure to see how many people had come from afar for this occasion !
Saturday evening the weather cooperated beautifully, we were so blessed ! Karen and Don have a truly lovely home, and we all thank them for sharing it for the evening !!!
It was a stroke of genius to have the food catered, and magnificent food it was, too...!!! Kudos to all involved in this part of things...I would love to know the name of the caterer, in case I ever have a similar need...
The video was delightful, many thanks to Don ! Cal asked me to ask on the site about having a T shirt made, but I'm not sure where to ask, so I'll start right here. The T shirts are magnificent, and this is one I would wear with a great deal of pride...
It sounds like the Sunday outing to Bowen was similarly enjoyed - sorry I missed it !
To the team of organizers, who worked so hard to make these events a success - MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY THANKS !!!
Wishing you all much joy in your living of life, and contemplation on same, and hoping we will be blessed enough to meet again along this journey...Take good care of all aspects of yourselves...remember you are loved and appreciated by many...
