Last Reunion Committee Meeting

We had the last meeting of the 50th reunion committee for Paseo Class of 1959 today. We met at PierPonts at Union Station and had a nice luncheon. It will be the last time for quite some time that Claudine will be returning to Kansas City. We sat around the table and talked about how well the reunion turned out. I think everyone enjoyed the activities. The next one, hopefully, will be in about 5 years.

While we were sitting there, Frank Stathopoulos mentioned that he was sandwiched between two ladies he referred to as "hottie #1"(Judy Webster Mueller) and "hottie #2" (Mary Lynn Allen Sherwood). Mary Lynn mentioned that she thought the girls had weathered the years much better than the men, but that makeup helped a lot. Looking around the table at all the beautiful women, I had to agree that the girls I knew in high school had indeed grown up to be beautiful women, while the boys had left much of their youth well behind. But then, we are all still 18 years old inside - our outside shells have just deteriorated a bit over the years.

What a great group of people we were then and still are now. I guess we were just lucky to have lived and grown up when we did.

Let's try to keep this commentary alive and the friendships that we rekindled glowing.
