"Julie
and I had a marvelous time at the Pacific Northwest event! I hope more get-togethers come up sooner rather than later."
-- Jerry Freet, Yahats, OR
"I
loved my high school years and having this event brought back so many fun memories; spending time with each other was the
best!"
-- Jane Welch-Sprague, (now in) Temecula, CA
"It was
a great opportunity to make new friends and reconnect with old friends as far back as Stanford Jr. High. I was touched that
people revealed how they had gone on to meet life's challenges with courage, grace and victory. It was truly an extraordinary
evening. Many thanks."
-- Ruth Beard Root, Eugene OR "The most
important thing I have gotten from going to this reunion is what amazing lives people have lived in the 45+ years since our
high school years ... not always easy, but everyone has interesting stories to tell and I find them fascinating."

The Pacific Northwest
Get-Together was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with fellow classmates in a smaller group, get better acquainted and
share old memories; it was relaxing and fun; appreciated the hospitality of John and Jolyan; especially enjoyed staying with
Renee in Seattle since we had lost contact and hadn't seen each other since high school! She still has red hair! Took several
days to share our adventurous life stories and catch up with our present lives."

"It
was a fun weekend and I appreciate the work Carol, Jane, John and Jolyan put into the event."
-- Judee Williams
Ausnow, Penn Valley, CA
"We
had a great time at the 'mini-reunion.' The afternoon at John and Jolyan's was delightful."
-- Pat Shelley Gray,
Gold River, CA "It was just nice to hear about what everyone
had done with their lives and the fact that we were enjoying our later years. People are more than welcome
to trek our
way for the Port Townsend Film Festival or the Jazz Festival or the Kinetic Sculpture Race."
-- Carol Scott Self, Port Hadlock, WA
"We
had a fun time planning for the mini-reunion. At first, we thought we'd have lots of attendees. We were very pleased in the
end because the small group let us really get to spend time with each other and find out what has been going on in each others'
lives since high school. It was fun to see how everyone has aged
so gracefully. The pictures are priceless. For the majority of people, they looked familiar and we didn't need to cheat and
look at nametags to remember names. It must have been a great party weekend because even the planners had a marvelous time."
-- Carol Larimer McLaughlin, Milwaukie, OR "John and I could not have been happier--having everyone
come to our home."
-- Jolyan Pratt Graham,
Milwaukie, OR
"Jolyan & John were so generous to welcome
us all to their home for a delicious BBQ on Saturday! Those yearbooks from hs and jr hi got a real workout ... as did
my memory bank! It was great fun to find out how others have been spending the last 45 years, and some of the wonderful talents
and skills they have! I'll definitely be reserving the space in my life to be at the big 5-0hhh!"
-- Wendy Archer,
Columbia, CA
"Thanks so much for the lovely reunion. It was nice to meet new friends and chat about
the 'Good Ole Days.' Blessings."
-- Sue Ann Williams Irvin, Aloha, OR
