  What a great weekend!   IF YOU WER'NT THERE "YOU MISSED IT, " A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT.  The Cordova High Class of 1975 celebrated their 50 Year Reunion, "STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!"  It was 2 nights of meeting up and reminiscing with friends we've know and just met for over 50 years on 10/10/2025 & 10/11/2025.  Friday, we got together for the kick off mixer at Brookside Restaurant from 3pm - 6pm.  The staff at Brookside Restaurant did a fantastic job.   Big thanks to Ashley and her crew. Everyone brought the smiles, good vibes and energy.  We had 50 plus people there (I didn't count the attendance).  It was perfect, a lot of good energy in the room!  Classmate Kevin Hamm and his wife played music on the patio, we really filled the place up.  We had appetizers and a great time.  There were people there I hadn't seen in 50 years and classmates I didn't know and met for the first time.  I wanted to personally introduce myself to all of you who attended and meet you since I'm now the "Official Class of '75 Mascot" and keeper of the website.  Thank you for the positive feedback, everything I do is for the fellow classmates and to try get a laugh.   I wish We had more time together, there were some people I really wanted to sit down with and talk to but I was pretty busy bouncing around the place.  Everyone was great they thanked all of us for putting on the reunion weekend for them and we appreciated that greatly!  We've been doing these kick off reunion weekend mixers for the last 20 years plus years that I've been part of the reunion committee.  They've been great events to start off the weekend.  Everyone is happy, smiling and reminiscing with old friends, a great time had by all.  
   This was our final big formal reunion.  After doing them every 5 years since 1980 we're not going to do anymore.  In the future we're going to do events like Friday night and plan easy to attend mixers going forward.  Everyone is older and it'll be easier for everyone to attend.  For example, start early in the day mixer, a luncheon or party in the park events.  The class website will have all of the information for future get togethers.   Maybe expect an invitation for a Class of 1975, 70 year old birthday mixer in 2027!  
   Friday was also Homecoming at Cordova and about 30 of us went and wore our 50 year reunion T-shirts to the Varsity game and did the alumni parade at halftime.  We lined up by graduating class and walked around the track.  It was fun representing our class.  We had our class of '75 banner we carried with us.  Thea Beatty showed up and really brought the energy!  We had everyone who attended Friday night's event sign it.  It'll be a valuable artifact in the future.  After the halftime parade it was time to go home and wind down.  There was a lot of work to do for Saturday nights event and it was going to be a long day for the reunion committee.  That's all for now, Cheryl is coming home and I need to bring in the groceries.  The next update will be about the Saturday night 50 event and pictures to post.  
   Ciao, Ricky Slama
