1951 - 50th Class Reunion Report....The Class of 1951 had a wonderful turnout for our 50th Class Reunion. A fun filled 4 days of renewing old friendships and and continuing ongoing friendships. It was certainly a great time for all of us. We started the weekend with a pizza party on Thursday night at Parker's. Our float for the Doo Dah Parade was decorated on this night. We had a farm wagon pulled by a John Deere tractor and a 1951 red Chevy pick up truck. On Friday morning we had a tour of Ilion High School conducted by Joe Collea, principal. Lots of nostalgia but not much of the old high school as we knew it. Things do change, right? Friday afternoon a tour of Remington Arms Plant was conducted by Tom Golden. This was enjoyed and appreciated by all that attended. Time for a quick bite to eat and then on to the Doo Dah Parade. Some rode on the truck, on the wagon or walked and this was another fun time. Following this there was a social hour (drinks and munchies again). Saturday we had boat rides on the Erie Canal, golf, shopping at Ilion Craft Fair. The hi-lite of this day was dinner at the Stone House Restaurant. Excellent dinner, conversation, reminiscing, class picture taken. Great time was had by all. Sunday AM brunch at Parker's which was catered by Donna Clapper. Our farewells were said and looking forward to the next reunion in 2006. Some classmates were still here on Monday morning and we had breakfast at the KnightSpot. "All good things must come to an end" and so did this. But......Thank God we had this time together. Last, but not least: GOD BLESS AMERICA. Our committee: Stan Ford, Jim Parker, Ted Allston, Margaret (Koerner) Fudjack, Helen (Moyer) Mickle, Maggie (Babcock) Papa, Barb (Francisco) Murphy, Rosie (Thibault) Squire, Joyce (Loomis) Earl Submitted by: Joyce Earl We are looking for the following classmates: Bob Hingre, Harold Hunter, Jack Sullivan.
