The DVD made for the Class of 1968′s 40th Reunion in 2008, is now online in its entirety.  Please be patient when viewing it for the first time as it may take a few minutes to load.  It is approximately 23 minutes long.  I could not upload it in DVD quality because of file size limitations so the quality is web quality but still very good.

If you didn’t make it to the reunion, enjoy!

Every five years, as summertime nears,
An announcement arrives in the mail,
“A reunion is planned; it’ll be grand;
Make plans to attend without fail.”

I’ll never forget the first time we met;
We tried so hard to impress.
We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars,
And wore our most elegant dress.

It was quite an affair; the whole class was there.
It was held at a fancy hotel.
We wined and we dined and we acted refined,
And everyone thought it was swell.
