This party started a few days early.  My husband Ski (known to some as Janis)  & I got to WV on Tuesday.
Spent the night at Connie's and then drove to Welch to Ronnie's.  Friday folks stopped by Ronnie's for a cookout:


Me and my Honey

Carmen & Donnie Hamm,
our cousin and her husband  with their angelic granddaughter.

Gary Goode, Ronnie & John DeFelice trying to 
get the grill going. 

In the meantime, the girls are taking it easy in Ronnie's
guest room.  Rhonda is wondering, "WHEN are those hamburgers gonna be ready?"

Reggie is explaining to Rhea WHY it takes a man so much
longer than a woman to grill a hamburger

Rhonda, in the meantime, is having 
her doubts about ever again getting 
to eat  and -- well, 
you can tell what she's thinking! 


We DID eat and we ate well and a lot. Later we headed down to the former Appalachian Building
for a "meet and greet" affair, followed by a walk On the Hill and then off to the Sterling Drive In.

Time to strut our stuff.  Ronnie decides to take the 
Ronmobile to the party.  Ain't that a cool car? 
It sounds as good as it looks.

I don't know what's cooler, 
the driver or the dashboard!


Yikes! How embarrassing to hear that my 
brothers were yet again fighting at school.
  


This is only a few of the many who paraded through the
old Appalachian Building meeting room on Friday night.

I don't recall their arrival, but the police did show up at the Sterling that night...maybe  we did get a bit rowdy! 
The subs were great.

Some photos from Saturday night at the Holiday Inn

Coach Orrison enjoyed this reunion as
much as the rest of us. Here he is with
Roy Smith WHS '61. 

Roberta Wilson, me and Janice Vandell
(all class of 1961) and all as lovely as ever! 

My bro -- twisting the night away!

My very favorite picture. (Mom's gonna like it too.)
