However, their price might be too high for what we want to do at this reunion.......We are going to have a meal catered and some type of program and time to talk..........do you want a late evening band for entertainment?  Do you want as much time as possible to sit around and visit with former classmates?  Below each post there is a place to add a comment, please do. The committee would like some feedback........ooh rah ooh rah...........

Ketchup or Mustard?
