I'm not sure I want to attend our reunion. Why should I?

Here are just a few of the many reasons to attend this reunion...
- Catch up with old friends. Over 60 years our classmates have had lots of adventures and some amazing experiences to talk about.
- Tell and hear great stories about things you did while we were at Manual.
- See your friends in person.
- See how much Indianapolis has changed. It is nothing like the city we knew in 1964.
- Show off those kids and grandkids. We all like to share our family photos.
- Honor our friends who are no longer with us. We will do that Saturday evening.
- See how much everyone has changed. And be assured, we ALL have changed.
- Biggest reason of all - have a good time! We have tried to plan events that will allow everyone to have a good time.
