Letter of congratulations to the committee and support team...

Thanks to everyone who helped at Cheryl's, set up at the lodge Saturday morning, & kept me on track. Here is a lovely letter from Kevin about how the reunion impacted him. He's not alone.

Wendy,

To say that every single thing that happened this reunion weekend was anything less than a total success could not be further than the truth.

You did such a wonderful job and I was amazed when I realized that from the time I stepped into Cheryl's house Thursday night, through all the formal and informal events and to the ride home from the post-reunion nightcap at the Sagebrush, I heard not one negative thing about the reunion from anyone. Literally, not one. Everyone had a great time and I have to confess that while I was already looking forward to this weekend, it wildly surpassed my expectations.

Congratulations on a fantastic job, Wendy. You worked so hard and with such diligence, and your efforts were rewarded. I know you didn't do it alone so please pass on my heartiest congratulations to the rest of the reunion committee. You all gave everyone in attendance an event we will cherish for years to come; and for those who did not attend, they missed something very, very special.

Have a great day. Revel in your success. WALLOW in it. Roll around and cover yourself with it and as you read all the congratulatory e-mails that have by no doubt already begun to roll in, say a gracious "thank you" and accept the accolades they so rightly bestow upon you and your cohorts.
Again, thank you.
