Acknowledgements

Below is the list of acknowledgements from our 56th Reunion. We are very grateful to all those who helped to make the 56th a fun and successful event!!!


Sharon Tedder and several others suggested that this Reunion be called the "Blast from the Past -- 56th Reunion".

Thanks to the members of our Reunion Committee who helped to bring this Reunion together after all the COVID interruptions. 

Thanks to Sonny Haguewood and JoAnn Haguewood, who suggested that we use this facility and brought  back memories for those of us who attended Junior High here.  Because I live about 120 miles away, He was the person that I always relied on to get information about a caterer, a place to meet, collecting the money and keeping the books, and so much more.  I know at times, he dreaded getting a call or text with my phone number attached.

Thanks to David Weiss who was my sounding board for "do you think we should do such and such for the Reunion", He didn't hesitate to keep some of Mary Jane's wild ideas down to Earth with more practical things to do, and He agreed to be the EmCee for the Reunion and organized the agenda. He also corrected some of my mistakes.

Thanks to Margaret Charboneau Breakfield, who offered her home for us to meet for our final Reunion meeting, and she provided us with delicious snacks, too!!  Margaret did a fun Trivia Game for those who attended, and brought lots of laughter with the questions and answers.  She also assisted with getting the Caterer, Carol Lyons Jocobsen.

Thanks again to Margaret and Rose Charboneau Bennett who got the forms and information about the Reunion mailed to everyone. (They are NOT responsible for the errors in addresses -- that was the biggest blunder yours truly made, and couldn't take back!!! While there probably isn't a need,  MaryJane Chapman was responsible for that big error .)

Thanks to Gerri Griggs Lawson for making the lovely table decorations.  And Thanks to her and Larry Warden who offered encouraging words to me, as I struggled through the arrangements for this Reunion.

Thank you to Claude Evans , who kept the spiritual encouragement for our committee going. And, to Claude for the wonderful Military Tribute for our Veterans from our Class, and Missing Man Table.

Thanks to Suzanne Short and Kay Randall for all of their encouragement and for Kay's getting our T-Shirts made.

Thanks to Gerald Wright for giving our Welcome at the beginning of the Reunion and getting us off to a great start with his memories game.

Thanks to Mary Jane Boyer Chapman who coordinated the activities, facilities, displays, and equipment for the Reunion.

Thanks to Garry Moyers for driving his 1965 Thunderbird to the John Evans Middle School for those who attended to have a group photo made with it. A car from the year we graduated!

Thanks to Potosi R-3 Schools and Superintendent Alex McCaul--For allowing us to use the facilities and Kitchen at the John Evans Middle School (our old Junior High) for our Reunion Activities. 

Thanks to all those who sent additional monetary contributions to help defray the costs of the Reunion.

Additional funds left over from the costs of the Reunion, along with any other donations will be used to start a Scholarship Fund in the name of the Potosi High Class of 1965.
