"I am really glad I decided to go. I had a great time. It was so nice seeing people I hadn't seen in 30 years. This was the first reunion I went to. I want everyone to know, when we have another one you really need to be there. We had a great time. Hope to see everyone again real soon" Jackie Anderson

"It is always great hooking up with everyone again. I think people really miss out seeing their old school friends. Here is hoping that we have a 35th and not wait until the 40th!!" Peggy (Muse) Kyllonen

"Thank you Dave, Michal, Bryan, Lester, Steve & everyone who worked to put this together and came to the event.  I had a great time seeing everyone." Ross West

"The reunion was a well oiled machine thanks to the committee.  Having it at Emerald Downs was great, less formality while watching the horses and working up your nerve to say hello!!  So wonderful to see everyone there. I hope we will do something yearly - or have our own facebook page or space on the class website so we can check in and say hello." Pam Rogers

"Had a great time at the reunion and visiting with you. I hope we can do a 35th reunion the weekend of the 2015 US Open Golf, which should be the summer of 2015 in Tacoma WA" Craig Christianson

"I really had good time at the class of 1980 re-union. Emerald Downs was a perfect location. There was horse racing, informal dining, we could get our dance-on, and good friends. Now really what more could you ask for?" Robert Malcolm Berry

"Thanks for all your hard work and a wonderful reunion!  We really enjoyed it.  Nice to see that you are following your "dance" passion!  I enjoyed the lesson!  Maybe we will sign up for more....I would enjoy it, but I think John would rather....have his teeth pulled?  Again, thanks for the music and work"!  Joyce & John Horvath
