My 50th High School Reunion

We went to Lake Tahoe and had a great time. The weather was wonderful and the lake was beautiful. In addition, we won a little money. So it was a great trip.

A few days after we returned from Lake Tahoe, we left for Cleveland, Ohio for my 50th high school reunion. We stayed at my sister's house in Seville, Ohio. Seville is known for the Seville giant. Standing seven feet and eleven and a half inches, Captain Bates is a giant who has toured around the world in the circus. In search of a quiet home for himself and his wife, (who is also a giant!) Captain Bates decides to get off the train in Seville, although he fears he will be too big for the little town. But Seville is full of surprises, and the giant is about to learn that the only thing that matters is the size of one's heart.

My reunion started on Friday night with a stag party at St. Ignatius High School. It was a reunion for every 5 years. After 50 years, every class would celebrate their reunion. Of course, the 1957 class was celebrating the 50th class reunion so they had the VIP treatment. I saw about 70 of my old classmates and we spent the night remembering the good times in school.

On Saturday evening, we had a party for everyone including the wifes. It started with a special Mass for the 1957 class. Then we were entertained by the St Ignatius Chorus. It was great. We went on a guided tour of the school. It has really changed. It now has 18 acres of campus. Then we had dinner. Out of 209 in the graduating class, 127 1957 alumni were in attendance. What a wonderful event.

While I was gone, gold went up and I made a nice profit. I still have the contracts and I am waiting for a sell signal from my software program.
