The Big Bash officially starts in about 30 minutes but over 80 alumni and spouses from the Class of 1959 got together last night to unofficially start the process a little early.  They gathered for conversation and dinner at the Country Club here in town.  

They were well into having a great time when I left.  The most fun they had, I think, was catching up with old friends...some they hadn't seen for decades.

A special time - felt a little like an extra thumb...but a YOUNG extra thumb!
