Looking back on our reunion in September 2014 at Asheville, NC , it seems clear that it was one of our more successful reunions. First, we had 86 paid attendees, of whom 13 received their Life Membership plaques. Second, Asheville was a great place to hold our function. Spending two days on the Blue Ridge Parkway, with its spectacular scenery, was wonderful. Even though we were a little early, we did see some fall color. To please the ladies and some of the men, shopping in both Asheville and surrounding areas like Black Mountain was excellent. Moose Café was our caterer. They provided an excellent welcoming reception and one of our best-ever banquets. Fun was had by all at the auction that benefits our scholarship fund.
The 2015 reunion promises to be just as successful. We will meet from October 28 to 31 in St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in America. Ponce de Leon thought the Fountain of Youth was located there. So, if you are feeling older, come and drink the water. St. Augustine offers fun and entertainment, as does the State of Florida. Consider adding a trip to Orlando and/or the Space Center. One of my favorite restaurants in the Titusville area is Dixie Crossroads, famous for its down-home cooking specializing in shrimp and other seafood.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in October 2015 at Holiday Inn on Ponce de Leon Boulevard in St. Augustine. May many blessings come to you in the meantime.
