Arkport Class reunion

Great evening!  Lots of laughs!  Cousin Ken Isaman is a great emcee and stand-up comedian and gets lots of help from our class.  He and Shirley Kilbury Chapman did a superb job organizing our 45th class reunion of Arkport Central class of 1966 at Club 57 near Hornell, NY.   JoAnne went with me and knew many of my classmates since she spent childhood summers in Arkport at her grandparent’s house and as children several of my friends sometimes went to her grandparents to play with her older brother, Joe.    It’s a shame how much one forgets, but getting together helps refresh the memory.  For example,  I remembered that Bev Morgan was a key player in the class auction preparations (sophomore year, I think) and also a member of our Youth for Christ Club but I totally forgot that Roger Griffin played trombone too along with John Callahan and I.   Ken distributed gag gifts.  Mine was a skeleton puzzle.  He said it was fitting for the class science brain and besides, I probably didn’t have any skeletons in my closet so now I could have one!  It was a great evening and I’m looking forward to the next reunion in five years.
