Kicking Off Our 50th Class Reunion

This evening at 6:00 we will be kicking off our 50th class reunion at The Ware House which is located in the middle of historic downtown Vicksburg (catty-cornered from The Valley at 1412 Washington Street). It comprises of five buildings built in the mid 1800's and each one has been meticulously refurbished. There are two bars on the premises...The Lounge and The Sports Bar & Grill.

Tomorrow our picnic will start at 11:00 at the Knight of Columbus Home. At 5:30 we will have Mass at St. Michael's Catholic Church and I have been chosen to be one of the gift bearers. After Mass we will all assemble in the Parish Hall for cocktails and the alumni banquet will start at 7:30. The class of 2009 and our class (1959) will be recognized. The guest speaker will be our own class member, Dr. Edward "Ed" Habert of Kirkwood, MO and of Destin, FL. We have approximately 27 classmates coming with their spouses and extended family members. There were 20 girls from Saint Francis Xavier Academy and 19 boys from St. Aloysius...three from each class are deceased. We are all looking forward to a great time and making more wonderful memories. Happy Reunion!

Directions

The Ware House is located in the middle of historic downtown Vicksburg (catty-cornered from The Valley at 1412 Washington Street). It comprises of five buildings built in the mid 1800's, each one has been meticulously refurbished. There are two bars on premises, The Lounge and the Sports Bar & Grill. The Ice Breaker will start at 6:00 p.m., downstairs in Suite 105.

The picnic will begin at 11:00 at the KC Home by taking Halls Ferry Road, passing the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (ERDC formally WES) and proceeding until you come to a fork in the road. Keep going straight and that turns into Fisher Ferry Rd. Go across the bridge and then turned into the Azalea Apartments on the left. You have to turn left again to get to the KC Home and grounds. St. Michael Catholic Church is directly across from KC Home and has two entrances. Banquet will be held in the Parish Hall after Mass.

See you there!

Happy Reunion!

Our Reunion Memory Booklet

I put together a memory booklet for our class and dedicated it to our deceased classmates, Lynn Stegall Hauserman, Patricia McNamara LaBlanc, Margaret McCormack Tice, Eddie Crevitt, Joe Lindigrin and Jackie Mackey. I ran them off yesterday at St. Aloysius with the help of Patty Mekus, Development & Alumni Affairs Office, my daughter Kathleen (Kathy) and classmate, Vera Marshall Brown. It took approximately 6 hours to complete. Will distribute Friday night at our Ice Breaker at The Ware House. Looking forward to seeing all my classmates. Wishing everyone a very Happy Reunion!
