What a great time.  We had around 140 on Friday night and 160 on Saturday night. 
The Pep Rally/Bench Dedication was just too much, both on the memories side and the memorial side.
The cheerleaders, the Three Men of Dykes, the non-speeches, the Colt, the music, the singing and the tour got us all off to a great start.  PICTURES are in the first photo album, around photo number 35+.  See the video on the intro page of the entire class singing the Alma Mater. More shots may be coming, so keep checking back. Also, go to www.walgreens.com and your login is dykes1967, AND your password is dykes1967.  Hopefully ALL of the camera shots will be uploaded for later purchase/use/laughter.
We will be updating these pages now that the reunion is behind us, so keep checking in.
We loved every moment together, and missed those who could not make it.  Hope we can do in again in five years (or sooner, with less planning).
