A 10 hunt

Hello all you who have been out of school for awhile and those in school for awhile

This morning Wendy and I went down the Creek without a paddle. It was Wendy's 10 year college reunion at Campbell. It was sort of a last minute decision. It was a small crowd. Only two other couples, their kids, a fiend of ours who graduated with Wendy, and Wendy and I attended the reunion. I think they were hoping more people would show up. About 15 had registered but no that many showed. It was surprising a good time.

They showed pictures from the yearbook of the people. It was interesting and funny to see pics from those years. Then they fed us a nice breakfast. It was in the cafeteria, but still good. Then they handed out door prizes. Since it was a small crowd they gave everyone there a prize. Wendy was the first to be called and picked out a nice clock. I was next and picked out a Campbell tie. I had wanted one for many years, but have been too cheap to buy one.

Then we went on a tour of the campus. It has changed a lot even in two years. We saw the new convocation center where they also play basketball. It was very nice. It should be with the money they put into it. We saw the new chapel that was not open yet. It does not look that bad. Campbell will probably get good use out of it.

It was amazing to see all that Campbell has grown. There are new things that I would not have even thought about as a student my years ago. Wendy said with all these new things she would love to go back to college.

It was a good time remembering the past and looking toward the future.
