Donna Cooper (Okin)
Dear Ellen and Ellen's team of helpful helpers (Ronnie, Annette, Donna Carlson & all others... Vicki for knowing a "PLAN B" luncheon due to weather!) APPLAUSE ! STANDING OVATION! The evening was expectional because of YOUR caring co-ordation, planning, connecting, keeping everyone updated, pictures from "5 -DECADES" ago (to aid our memories!), badges, speeches, toasts, catering, music, center pieces, etc., etc.! A perfect event leading to wonderful joy of re-connecting with EMHS classmates! Tons of laughter! It was deeply moving to recognize those who have passed. It was special that classmates who served in the military were asked to stand & that we all honored them with a toast of gratitude!
How about Miss V. !!!! WOW! She was... and IS... a great GIFT to the Class of "66. Timeless and funny! AND> dear Michael Steinberg> your speech and verbal tour down memory lane of incidences and teachers were meaningful & hysterical! Still a leader!
Ellen, you are a gifted hostess and organizer! Thank YOU for the great feelings you brought to all in the room and that we all carried home ! Love for another 50 years! Donna Cooper Okin
