"The reunion was the best ever. Bob Bales' book-signing area was so classy. I just loved it, and bless his heart, he really shelled out a bundle of free books (Ernie Pyle books). "And I loved the program...all of it. Remember when I was dragging my feet about leading the school song. Well, now I cannot believe that I felt that way, because it was such a hoot.... I feel that everyone enjoyed themselves. There was something for everyone." --Lynda Thompson Profitt, Class of 52, Dayton, OH
"A special thank you goes out to the reunion committee for all their help and work in making the school reunion a success. Your 'coffee cafe' was a great idea. Many people said that was a life-saver." (Starbucks coffee was served from 'The Aggie RV Cafe.')
