As a matter of fact, I had such a great time in '99 that I did it again in 2001 at the Gold Coast Resort and Casino and in 2009 at the Venetian to celebrate the 10th anniversary of '99! In between, there was a California get together in 2000 from San Francisco to San Diego, skiing in Keystone in 2004, touring Bermuda in 2006 and a cruise with about 30 classmates to the Carribean in 2007. That doesn't count the January "New Year's Dinners" in DC that Scott Truver, '68, has organized every year since 2000! If you're not already on his address list for regular FSHS updates, contact him at sctruver@aol.com. Have a great weekend everyone!!!! Saw Battleship today. Pretty good action pic. "-)

Lost track of all FSHSers for 34 years until they began surfacing on the net with email addys, several courtesy of Matt Knutson's FSHS web site, complete with class directories. Found out there had been reunions throughout the years and I missed 'em all. So, what to do???? I organized one at the Stardust in Lost Wages in 1999. 176 of those "lost" souls showed up and I renewed my treasured friendships of the late 60s. We've been in touch, and traveling together, ever since. What a world, what a world!!! Thanks Matt! "-)

Well yeah... if you had been in both Naples and Kaiserslautern, your affinity is with NAPLES. etc.

Not counting Napoli 2001 and Napoli 2005 - those can't be surpassed. Las Vegas, and the Military Brats reunion in Dallas, where Naples had, if I remember correctly, the 4th biggest attendance. Not too shabby up against the likes of Kubasaki, Kaiserslautern and Frankfurt.

I've been to five (Colorado, two in San Diego, San Francisco and Naples. Each one was special for various reasons and the people who attended. The last reunion that was in San Diego was super cool because Joe Lawing brought his band (which was amazing) and other hotel guests crashed the room to listen :) Going back to Napoli for the 2001 reunion was by far truly special. The lunch within Pompei can never be duplicated and was like going back in time. We are all so fortunate to have lived in Naples and maintained our friendships after all these years!

I think I've been to four mini-reunions here in the SFBA. This is assuming you need at least 3 wildcats for it to count as a reunion.

Wildcat Question of the Day - having just attended Ray Lees and soon heading to the San Antonio get together, today's QoTD is - How many reunions have you attended over the years and which was your favorite? Reunion stories welcome!
