A Toast to Batch '74: On the occassion of their 35th Class Reunion

Many of you consider this a High School Reunion, I feel like it is a Family Reunion.

Throughout the past 35 years there have been and we've seen many friendships made and lost, laughter and tears shared and hearts broken. But today we toast to our memories----- the students, athletes, and friends we once were---reunited for a time, relieving our shared past.

We also honor those who taught and encouraged us. May we always remember with gratitude their part in making us who we are today.

As we look through the strands of silver-gray and black, to the burnished locks of yesteryear - look beneath the wrinkles and lines to the dewy skin we left behind. Look beyond the lenses of glass to the sparkling eyes of our distant past. Look above at the golden throne to those of our classmates who are now gone. But look ahead and keep on keepin' for what we sowed we are now reapin'.

We remember old friends, those with us now, those who couldn't make it, and those who are no longer with us.

Dear friends, batch mates, classmates, and family, lift your glasses and toast with me the memories of yesteryear and the memories to come.

“God Bless us all” with prosperity and good health!

Heres to more reunions to come!!!!!

Cheers!!!!



Thank you,

Luth
