October 10, 2009:   Saturday Night at The Gaston Country Club

WOW!   What an incredible wonderful party!   The final event of our 50th Reunion Weekend.   There can never be another 50th! The big party at the Gaston Country Club was just incredible.   All the work that the Reunion Committee, chaired by Clare Turner & Jake Gray, put in over the prior 14 months really paid off!   The music was perfect, the atmosphere was perfect, the decorations were perfect, the food was excellent, the entertainment provided by classmates was truly fun... it all came off "without a hitch"! Many thanks to Ann Wedaman, Clare Turner, Frances Putman, Jake Gray, Johnny Holland, Kay Norusis, Lil Lanier, Loretta Forbes, Ruth Flinn and the Gaston Gazette for the wonderful pictures!
