2006 Reunion Report (Written by Pat Roach)

The night before the Osmond reunion, the Reilly Raiders held their annual Shamrock Festival. The show began with Reilly playing the Star Spangled Banner. Then the Osmond people in the audience were asked to stand up and Reilly played the Osmond kickoff theme 'Coke', They also featured a special tribute to John Dowlan and three of his former students who became National Champions played a snare drum exhibition to honor him. The show also had Archer-Epler, the Yankee Rebels, Blessed Sacrament and the Hitmen from Rochester, NY.

The Osmond reunion was well attended with 54 people. Some of the people include George and Rich Mohelski, Jay Brown, Herb Locker, Ed Klein, Jack Cassidy, Bob Adair, Jane McGinnis, Peggy McGinnis, Ed Kiess, Dick McDonald, Jack & Elsie Hackett, Ed & Elaine Holmes, Don Rogerson, Ken & Arlene Hayes, Barbara & George Woods, Don Mihok, Bob & Ruth Dunn, Ray & Ann Mountain, Dick & Josie Penrod, Nancy Keenan, Kitty & Bob Cwalino, Joe and Rita Roach, Pat Roach, Stephanie Southrey, Bettyann Cleighton, Joe Sneidinger, Carl and Vivian (Bishoff) Place,  Ernie Donnelly and Liz Delaney Brown. If I missed anyone, mea culpa.

Everyne signed get well cards for John Dowlan and Tom Danks. Both are doing well now. John & Patty Danks were unable to make it because they had been in Reading just a week or two before visiting Tom who was recovering from heart surgery.

As Porky Pig said 'That's all for now Folks' , but I didn't know how to type the stutter.
