  2. So MaryD, were you the first to comment? If not, it looks like no one wants a prize. And BTW, its a prize "presented" by yours truly.

  3. Oh, Evan, I humbly accept the prize. Hopefully it is the one you mentioned. I like Amber Schild. If we can't get anyone else to comment I suppose we will just have to keep bantering among ourselves!
    We could probably consider a prize for 2nd place.

  4. Ok, people, it is time to start commenting. We need some input. Such as...any remembrances of those who have passed away. What will we do to honor them at the reunion? We'd like to do some type of class project for the city of Marengo...Any suggestions....from the Class....
    Right now, this is the plan: Friday, July 1, 2011, Anyone who is in town and wants to meet at Phat Daddy's for drinks and something to eat (this could also be held at a person's house here in town - still thinking about that). Saturday, July 2nd: Hopefully some tours, i.e. school, hospital, library, Gateway Park - give us YOUR ideas and then our reunion dinner that evening at the Ox Yoke in Amana and they have assured me that the bar will remain open late. Sunday July 3rd: This is the day of the Marengo 4th of July celebration and there is lots going on in town - food booths, car show, etc. If there is enough interest we can get together as a group and go somewhere for brunch also. Monday the 4th, if people are still around; all the surrounding communities, i.e. Williamsburg, etc. have their 4th celebrations.
    Please, please, post on this site any ideas, any changes or additions you would like to see. Let's get some conversation going so we have solid plans. And please, a word of thanks Wayne for all his hard work with this site. to Thanks, M.D.
