45th Reunion Was a Success!
The Canajoharie High School Class of 1965 45th Reunion was held on November 6, 2010 at the Holiday Inn in Johnstown, NY.
Kudos to Lucille and her team!
Some comments from the attendees:
“Many, MANY thanks to Lucille and her support staff for a great 45th reunion. The class members and other “family” guests present all seemed to enjoy the evening, the opportunity to catch up on the last five years, and share many laughs about the past! If you didn’t attend, you certainly missed another memorable experience. Mick Boslet was very entertaining. According to my calculations, there are 92 of us left. God willing, let’s all make it a goal to have at least 100 people in attendance at our 50th!!!!!!” -Nancy Walts
“First of all, a Big Thank You, to Lucy and Co.! It was a good time Sat. night. I especially liked the DJ, and tastefully-done music. It’s good he stuck with (our) “Oldies,” too–as well as doing a fine Johnny Cash impersonation. Lots of fun. Hard to believe it’s been 45 years, already.” -Frank Pessolano
