Make sure you get some practice in beforehand – or not. Just make sure you show up for a grand day of golfing, renewing old friendships, reminiscing of days gone by, and observing how good (or bad) some of us have gotten at this game of golf. Ladies, if you feel so moved, you are certainly welcome to bring your favorite cigars to the tournament. Note: Freddy Snyder will not be permitted to bring his 2 for $.99 pineapple cigars.
Stay well,
Joe Kempfer
50th Class Reunion
The Liberty High School, Class of '67, 50th Reunion was a huge success! A big 'thank you' goes out to all who attended. The Reunion Committee members felt that all our efforts were worth it! Everyone had a great time and the display's that were set up had a steady stream of classmates gazing at pictures and items brought in by other classmates. The room was filled with chatter and laughter as people reconnected with classmates they hadn't seen in 50 years! I believe we will carry many warm memories with us for years to come from this milestone event.
Other thanks goes out to our guest speaker, Gary Lavelle for sharing his heart with us. Many will carry those words home with them. Thanks to John Bereuter for his help in setting up and tearing down. He also contributed many pieces of memorabilia to our display table. Thanks John. You've got the gift of helps.
And last, but not least, a huge thank you goes to our tour guide, John Quigley, and Liberty High School, for allowing us to see the new renovations made to our ole' Alma Mater. It was fun. We were so impressed with the new additions and changes made to so many areas of the campus. The cafeteria was amazing and the pool ...wow! I wanted to jump in and take a swim, lol.
All things do come to an end and even though it's over, the memories we took with us from this weekend will warm our hearts for a long time to come. Stay connected to this website for future events, maybe even before 5 more years :)
