Postpartum Reunion Syndrome sets in!

After 6 months of reunion preparation, which required over 250 hours of machine time for 8 Lithopane Lamp Awards, 1 Diamond Engraved Lantern Award, 16 Class Award Plaques, 28 Table centerpieces and 45 Reunion Souvenir plaques, I suddenly find the lack of tight scheduling to get the job done has been a shock to my usual daily regimen for these many months. Once I am able to again approach some sort of normalcy, I will once again resume the many projects that were put on hold once the reunion preparation started. Elaine and Jean are going through the same withdrawals!

The Blog has been a very time consuming but worthwhile project. A blog is very labor intensive and posting a single picture may take 30 minutes or more. First you must download the picture and scan it into a file. Then the picture is examined and determined if it is good enough to appear once it is posted on the blog. If not, it is then ushered into Photoshop to make the necessary changes. Many of the pictures posted required quite a bit if time to restore them. I mention this to illustrate the time for each picture that was posted on the blog and there are well over a hundred or more.

I'm happy to have had the chance to gather all the historical data and pictures about Berkeley and BHS and consolidate these facts for future reference when we are all gone. I also thank the many classmates who contributed material and pictures to make it interesting. Without your help, much wouldn't have appeared on our Blog and I thank you all again for your input.

I am posting pictures of the Reunion on the Reunion Pictures tab and if you have any you want posted, send them to me preferably via email.

The "Last Hurrah" Reunion was a great affair and hope you enjoyed it as much as I have. All the many preparation hours were worth every bit of the time spent. And most of all...seeing all you wonderful classmates again was such a thrill. I think we could say...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

Thank you all for your many cards, letters and emails. They will be saved in my memorabilia scrapbook as treasures. 

Finally, thanks to all for such a great turnout! 

Check the REUNION PHOTOS tab...

I have just started to post pictures taken at the "Last Hurrah" Reunion and it will take some time to get them all onto the Reunion Photos tab. I wasn't able to get some names, as things moved too fast for me to keep up. Therefore, I ask for your help to identify unnamed individuals in posted photos via email and I can then post their name with their picture.
