Hi Everyone,
Our big night has come and gone, and Michele and I are so proud of what we all accomplished as a group! The time
you devoted (be it a large or small amount) took away from other things that you could have been doing, and we
sincerely appreciate the effort you put forth. Our 20th reunion will go down in history as one we will never forget!
I have received many e-mails since Sat. night; and I want to share them with you because we pulled this successful event
off as a team.
Take care,
Christin
Hi Christin,
You should take great pride in re-connecting lost friends. I had the best time...far better than the
10th. You may have just won a lifetime job as reunion coordinator...YIKES! You will never know the
impact your actions had. What started as a kind gesture to captain the reunion turned into a night of
lifelong memories, there were people I hadn't seen for 20 years and since that awesome night I can't
put my yearbook down. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You earned your wings!
Rich
Hey Christin,
Building on what Rich H. said - You all earned your wings, but Christin you also earned a double halo!!
This reunion was top-notch. I can compare it to my husband's 20th reunion
on the previous night which had a turnout of 35 classmates (class size of
200 students). The food was terrible and it consisted of classes
celebrating their 10th thru the 35th reunions. It was hard to find someone
from your graduating class with so many people of different ages.
Thank you again Christin for taking this on. I had a great time - I just
wish I had more time to see people that evening. There were soo many people
I know were there but I didn't even see. Or that I saw and told myself I
would come back to and never got the chance. It was such a trip! My head
was spinning when I left the reunion yet I hardly drank!
You did a wonderful thing by giving many the gift of friendship this holiday
season. Please keep in touch.
Best wishes for a relaxing holiday,
Patty (Concannon) Monahan
My original intent was to send a follow-up note just to my close friends.
Then I thought I'd include the people who I knew well, but wasn't really
close with. In the end just about everyone was included, so I decided to go
ahead and just reply to all. I guess that's really the reason that the
reunion was so much damn fun - we were such a close-knit class where just
about everyone knew everyone else. My wife grew up in a more transient area
(of LA) and really didn't get it. How could I possibly know so much about
so many people she wondered.
High school had its ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade my experience for
anything. What an amazing group of people, and what an incredible
experience and opportunity to have grown up with you all.
During the flight back to San Fran Liza and talked about what it might be
like to move back to Boston. Our enthusiasm faded though, as we were
greeted by the warm sun, a deep blue sky and 68 balmy degrees. I wonder if
I'll still fit into my winter coat when I'm 58.
Great seeing you all, and keep in touch!!!
Ben
p.s. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the reunion happen - you did an amazing job!
Let me join in the love fest,
Ben - Well said, by the way, its's about 25 degress back in Beantown.
I must admit, some of the names were fuzzy but everyone looked great. I wish we had more time so I
could have spoken to everyone. It was fantastic to see everyone and I look forward to our next get
together.
Kudos to the reunion committee.
Have a Happy Holiday,
John
Just wanted to express gratitude to you. You did a great job and it really semmed like everyone had a great time.
Boy was it weird seeing some of those people after all this time. Im sure I missed alot of people to.
You worked very hard and it was appreciated by many people.
Take care of yourself and enjoy the holiday season and take a break.!!!!
Diane
Hi Christin,
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the great job you all did!! What a night... It was a blast!! Everything
from the hall to the food was excellent. I wanted to thank you in person but the few times I saw you, you were halfway across
the room dashing about. To make it 10 feet across that hall without finding yourself engaged in a half hour conversation with
an old friend was next to impossible. The night flew by. Just one big blur!!
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that your efforts were very much appreciated, not only by myself but everyone I talked
to as well. Please extend my appreciation to all the others that helped out.
Again, great job and many thanks for a great evening!!!
Kenny & Roseann Avola
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard planning the Reunion. I had an unbelievable time. Everyone
looked great. I did alot of catching up with old friends that I haven't seen in 20 years.
We were and still are the best class of all times. Thanks also to everyone who attended to make the
night so special. I am looking forward to see all of you at the next reunion.
Until then keep intouch and take care.

Hi Christin,
I am glad that you enjoyed the centerpieces. I was happy to have been able to help make the reunion a success,
(and what a success it was!). I know that you received many thanks and compliments (so deserved). As a
professional planner, I can tell you that your planning and attention to detail was exceptional!.
Your team of Reunion Planners deserve credit for the success too. Everyone involved did an outstanding job.
I was impressed by the team work. I hope that the other classmates appreciated the efforts extended by all
of you. It was a great night for all.
Robin (Fiorenza) Macdonald
Hello Christen,
I had your e-mail address saved, so I thought I would write and thank you again for all the work you
put into pulling the reunion together. It appeared to be quite a success. I was impressed with how
well most of the women had maintained and/or improved their appearance.
I hope all continues to be well with you and your family. If you happen to meet with the reunion committee
again, please pass on my thanks to them as well.
Best Regards,
Lauren (Morgan) Miller
Christin,
Thanks for the great time. The reunion was so well organized and fun. I would not expect anything less from
a fellow Bentley Alumni, I graduated from Bentley in the class of 87. Hopefully I can be of more help in
planning and organizing the next reunion.
Maureen now realizes why I always enjoyed my High school years with the class of 82. I think she had a even
better time than me, and she was from the class of 83. We both look forward to the next reunion, thanks to you
and all the the other subcommittee members.
Thank you,
Sean P Cashell
I have to join the group of people who have congratulated everyone who worked so hard in making our reunion an
outstanding success. It must give you great pleasure knowing that everyone had a terrific time. I know I did !!!
With our 20th a wonderful memory that we all will enjoy reflecting on, I know myself that I will be looking
forward to many more in the future. With all the feedback I have been reading, I know that most of us would not miss
going to our 25th.
AGAIN, MANY THANKS TO CHRISTINE AND COMMITTEE FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB.
Sheila (Pumfrey) MacDonald
WE ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN !!!!
Our big night was definitely one for the ages. I didn't think I would ever see that many of my classmates again --
let alone in one place! Everyone I saw had such a great time and still looks great.
I know I did not get to see everybody there. And we could have used a bigger dance floor. Once the dancing
began, you couldn't see to the other side of the room, let alone walk past it!
I know I speak for everyone who was there when I say a BIG HEARTY
THANK YOU !!!!
to Christin and everyone who worked with her to make this event a HUGE success. I began to attend the committee
meetings last October (2001) and I know she put in countless hours of work and almost boundless energy into
planning and organizing. She did a GREAT job, and so did everyone who worked with her. We could not have pulled
this off without their involvement, big or small.
I was the photographer for our big night, and I got lots of good pictures. I hear there have been many requests
for pictures on the website. I should have them on their way to our webmaster Dave (Slocum) Blechinger in about
two or three weeks.
On behalf of the committee, I would also like to thank all of you who came to our grand event. You all helped to
make it a better time just by being there.
HOW ABOUT A REPEAT IN 2007 -- ROCK ON !!!!
Sincerely, Michael Doucette
Chris,
I just wanted to thank you and the team for such a wonderful job you did with the reunion. The food choices right
down to the little detail of putting a bow on the napkins was excellent. I hope you had time to relax and enjoy.
Robin (Brown) Seymour
Cool photos! I can't wait to see more!
It couldn't have gone better. What a great time. So many people I hadn't seen in years. Felt like being in a
time machine and stepping out twenty years later to the most pleasant surprise. That life is good and our class
is great. Thanks for everything Chris and committee. it was a blast seeing you all.
Vince Minichiello
We just want to say thank you for everything that you did for the class of 1982 last night. You did a great job !!!!!!
Chris and Nidia Turner

P.S. All your hard work definetly paid off!!!!!!
I'd like to take a minute to give my personal thanks for such a fantastic night. We had the most wonderful time
celebrating 20 years of life after high school with so many people, my head was still spinning this morning.
Great Job to the entire team of people who organized this by giving up time in their busy schedules and personal
lives.
It was great seeing everyone, for those I did see and speak to, and those I didn't, there's always this amazing
electronic medium which allows me to respond at my convenience.
Thank you again to Christine and entourage for making last night an incredible night to remember.
Jeff Danzig
I second that!!! . Thanks for a great night. You all did a wonderful job!!
