Here are some thoughts: January/February are really slow times for EVERYTHING, so most of us probably won't have many commitments. But the weather sucks and it might be difficult to travel. March/April usually have better weather, but then you're fighting issues like Lent and Easter and Passover, when people might not be able to eat, drink, and be merry. May/June/July are good outdoor months, but that's when people are having the most weddings, too. August/September includes the Labor Day holiday and the Iowa State Fair, but it's also back-to-school time for the people who have kids. October/November would allow us to coincide with football games at the new Valley Stadium, but it might also be hard for some people to pull away from work around that time. December is almost always tough, since the weather is usually rotten and people are busy with holiday events. |

December is almost always tough, since the weather is usually rotten and people are busy with holiday events. You mean to say that there is not a single day where nearly 500 people from all over the world will be available to congregate in the same place?  I'm for May or early June. If it was at the end of May, then it really would be a 10 year reunion. |

Obviously a front-runner is emerging in the voting (May/June/July right now). I'll be sending out another "Please update your info" reminder soon, and I'll try to encourage people to place some votes here.

I voted for August/September, but it's really more of a July/August vote.
Hi, by the way.

I'll be sending out another reminder e-mail shortly to get a final vote on when to schedule. We'll need to reserve our spot at least 12 months in advance, so we oughta' get going on this soon.

Oh my...a reunion? Heya Gongol...found this board in this strangest of keyword searches....Jason would understand...or maybe its just the thin air up here in Denver? Since this place is a graveyard, I urge all you ghosts to transfer your energies to the forum at www.troys-bucket.com ...where you may be graced with a reply from Jason Beane, Nick Healey, Jason Beane, Tom Hyde...and myself...who isn't all that memorable! |
