Thanks to everyone who helped make our 25-year reunion a success.  Thirty-five (35) classmates signed the reunion registration sheet.   The total headcount (including the DJ, Security, guests, family and friends) was around 75.  There was plenty of food --- thanks to all who brought a side dish, snack, or dessert to go along with the Cajun shrimp boil.  Steven DeLeon (our DJ) did a great job playing a wide variety of music.  Anyway, I'm pleased (and proud) to report that the Class of 1979 donated almost $500 over the course of the evening.  After all bills are paid, we will have approximately $325 to place in a Class of '79 savings account.  Attached you will find the latest copy of our class directory and a list of reunion expenses.  I have also included the results of an impromptu reunion survey which revealed the following:
