Kinda personal apologies to those folks who were expecting me, and I did not show.  Really...I had no good reason and simply was not in a position to change my mind at the last minute -- when I began to wish I was there.  As to the rest of the folks, and you know who you are even if we havent' talked for a minute, man oh man...I so sorry that I did not come!!!!  I saw the pictures.  How the heck did I let myself miss such a good time!  I'll see you next go round for sure.  Julie.

To All My Wilson Classmates:

The entire WW reunion weekend was a success. This is my first time attending the three major reunion events. Each event, I saw different classmates. I smile everytime I think of seeing classmates like Donald Perkins, Dennis Smith, Mark Jones and Rosie King again, to name a few.

Remembering the picnic was fun, but after the Meet & Greet, the Gala, and the Brunch, I can only say I'm looking forward to our next event together. The committee worked very hard, and the hard work paid off. 

We all have to take our hats off to Eric Alston because he truly made this website one that you can't help but check on a regular basis, never knowing what exciting feature he will post next. The new pictures are really great and if you don't receive thanks on a regular Eric, I'm thanking you for the entire Class of 1978.

For those that were not able to participate or attend the reunion weekend, keep your eyes on the website for the next event. Many thanks to those that did attend and I hope to see more TIGERS in the future.

Back in the Tropics...
I enjoyed playing the reunion.  Wanted to get 
out and dance with some of you but the time went by so fast.  Maybe next time.  We should have went to twelve, people were just getting wound up and we had to shut down.  I was just getting ready to go to the back of the rack.  
Still it was a fantastic event and I salute the organizers, the committee, the chairperson, the MC, the guest speakers, and even the significant others who had to put up with the calls, the meetings, and the time away from home doing 
this business.  I also have to say just one more time Eric!!! the website is great.  I've even 
invited people that didn't go to wilson to check 
it out and they have had nothing but praises for it.  I'm glad we are keeping it up.
It was great seeing everyone, I met a few folks i had never met which was really cool, I just 
wished i could have talked longer and got to 
know them better.  
I really Like the idea about the big 50 Party. 
lets do it.  Hey maybe have the party here in the Virgin Islands (some of you can start over) ... 
Seriously, If anybody is coming south let me know.
Donna and I would love to show you some Caribbean hospitality here in St. Croix. 
In the mean time take care of yourselves, remember you aint twenty five anymore...
Peace

Although I only attended one event of the 30th reunion, it was Superb!  There was so much warmth through out the entire evening. There were two classmates sitting next to me that had never attended any of the reunions and they were very happy to be there. It was great to see old friends and reminisce.  Everyone looked fabulous! Thanks to the committee, the Gala was flawless.  Like the guest speaker said Saturday night, Woodrow Wilson produced some outstanding people.

It was really great to see everyone!!!  .. some that I knew ... and some that I just met!  To me , It was the perfect opportunity to reflect on how good God has been to all of us, allowing us to get together again after 30 years!  To  renew some of our longest friendships that were lost .. with friends, some dating back to the 3rd/4th grade. It helps support my notion of how truly blessed that we really are!   Thanks again for being apart of that for me!  God Bless you all!

Have a great reunion, unfortunately I will not be able to attend - too much travel these days.  I am one of the lucky ones who gets to see Wilson as I drive by on Nebraska Ave from time to time.  As for the Dancing Crab, I'm sure I have my name carved on a couple of tables there...

All the best

What a wonderful time we all shared at the picnic on Saturday. Being on the planning committee gave me some hope for a special day but, the weather, the participation and the love. WOW, I'll never forget. "Toni Woodfolk, we shared some laughs for you. WE MISS YOU!"
I knew that it would be special but, I'm still smiling remembering the fun I experienced and no doubt, I'm looking forward for our September memories. We are so blessed, to look so well after 30 years. Smile everyone, because God is blessing us everyday.

It was wonderful seeing everyone at the cookout this past weekend.  I had a great time.  Our classmates are still looking just as young as ever, 30 years later.  God has truly been kind to us!  As one classmate put it, "It's good to be alive!"  I will see you in September at the gala, or at the homecoming game, when the Wilson Tigers completely PULVERIZE (And, I do mean PULVERIZE!) McKinley Tech (my husband's former high school) on the football field.  Go Tigers!!! 

P.S. - I will forward pictures from the cookout to the Reunion Committee soon.  Be blessed!

I absolutely enjoyed everything about high school to include the chartered Metro bus from Southwest every morning and playing Varsity basketball. I look forward to joining this 30th Reunion Celebration and rekindling old yet friendships. Congratulations and Best Regards.
