2004 Reunion Report (Written by Pat Roach)

The reunion was not as well attended as past ones. There were many conflicts. Forty Seven people were expected, but there were a few who didn’t make it, All had a good time and were able to get around and see each other. The food was excellent as usual.

John and Patty Danks were in Alaska to visit her son. Tom and Adrienne Danks hosted a Business Man’s dinner that night. Ernie Donnelley was on a cruise. Joe Mountain forgot about his son’s birthday party was that night.

 Lee Wolf’s bad eyesight kept him from driving and his son Steve at the last minute couldn’t take him. Phyliss and Don Rogerson were not in good enough health. Jim Meehan was scheduled to come but wife Cass took a turn for the worse.. Jack and Elsie Hackett said they were coming but I didn’t see them.

George and Dolores McCracken had to cancel.  George was on Chemotherapy at the time George passed away a few weeks later.
