Body:	<i>Good afternoon, Ricky: Let me start at the ending of our reunion: At the waning hour of the Saturday night dinner and dance, a server was dancing to the beat of the music as she cleared away the last remaining glasses from the tables. She danced over to me and commented we must of have been a great class. She said she had worked many of these types of functions, but none where there was so much interaction amongst the attendees and none where everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and each other so much. I agreed we are a great class. My sojourns to Savannah have been brief since leaving Savannah to join the Peace Corps in 1967. Iâ€™ve called my home away from home the Dominican Republic, D.C., Oregon, and Houston. Iâ€™ve been fortunate to have seen so much of our great country. I believe I have attended all of our Class Reunions save for the 45th. What set the 50th apart from the earlier reunions for me is that The Committee, by design, or by chance, selected venues that lent themselves to affording us time to visit with fellow classmates. At every turn I was delighted to have some time with people I have cherished from our school days (and earlier) in Savannah. It was a real home coming for me. Johnny Harris has a long legacy that we, our parents, and grandparents enjoyed. While the Wilmington Island Club is not the General Oglethorpe Hotel where we danced away the evening at our senior prom, it conjures up the Oglethorpe legacy for many of us. Tubbyâ€™s is new to me, but not beautiful Thunderbolt. What a stroke of genius to include the wonderful â€˜Jukebox Journeyâ€™ performance at the historic Savannah Theater! Great job, Harry. There was not a dry eye in the house as we remembered our departed classmates. They are a part of us and so long as we remember them, they live on in our hearts. I deliberately save the tour of the halls of the SHS we knew for my closing comments. The changes from our days in those halls are evident throughout the campus. Importantly, I think our spirits and those of the great teachers who taught and inspired us are alive in those halls and in its current metamorphosis. We were a class of bright, talented, close, community aware, fun loving babes in the woods. We held high hopes for the future. From what I garnered from that tour, the current students carry that torch and spirit. I do so hope the institution continues to bloom and grow, and that the students realize all of their youthful hopes and dreams. My dreams are alive and well. Marty Will the Committee please stand up and identify yourselves. Take a big bow! </i> *
