THESE ARE THE EVENTS FOR THE 50th REUNION IN 2012.

And you thought the 45th reunion in 2007 was unbelievable! Just wait until you see what's in store at the 50th in 2012. First of all, are you impressed that we got the year right??? During this era in our history when making change for a dollar bill is considered higher math, we were able to add 5 to 2007 and come up with 2012. Next time around, let's all graduate in a year like 2000 just to make the math easier.

This intro will be suspended while the author determines how to continue after such an exciting start.

Friday Night
When: July 20, 2012 at TBA
Where: Valentine Café
115 South Quarry Street
Ithaca, NY
United States
14850


Overview: Remember the 45th Reunion? This is the same place, the same date, and the same time. It will be an exact same experience as it was 5 years ago, so if you can't recall the exact time you arrived, please check the 45th Reunion Photo Albums for clues. If you didn't attend the last reunion, you have the opportunity to upset the space-time continuum by arriving at any time of your choosing.

The food will be marvelous. The company will be even more marvelous. And the entire evening will be super marvelous. Be there!

Attire: Required. Casual.

How to Get There: The restaurant is located at the end of South Quarry Street. It is not located on Valentine Place which would be a logical location for it, but South Quarry Café just didn't have the panache that Valentine Café does. Check the map link above for the exact location (within 10').

What's to Eat? The format will be h'ors d'oeuvres in a buffet style so that people can mingle and trade stories about remodeling kitchens, playing on the pro golf tour, retiring with no money, and wild and crazy senior citizen homes.

Saturday in the Parks

Where: Anywhere you want

Overview: Visit local scenic attractions. Or maybe visit relatives or friends in the Ithaca area. Or maybe sleep in. There are just too many things to do in the area. During our last visit to Ithaca, we spent Saturday morning in the Monro Muffler shop. Can't beat that!

How To Do It: By car if you have the time (OK). Or by chauffeur (better). Or by the pool (best).

Overview: Have you heard of Stewart Park? It's in Ithaca right on the south end of the lake. The map does not show the location of Stewart Park because everyone knows where it is. Use your GPS if you get lost.
Weather: We've been at Stewart Park before, but not like this. We have insurance!!! If it looks like rain, we have reserved the pavilion. If it looks like rain, cold, wind, or earthquakes, we can go to Lake Watch Inn. Keep your fingers crossed that we have nice weather. Do not do this while driving. The map shows the location of the Lake Watch Inn.
Scheduled to Appear: This will be a catered breakfast. It's a last chance to visit with classmates you missed while under the table the previous evening.
