50 YEARS from PRIDWEN 1967 to PRIDWEN 2017

Hello Classmates

Our 50th High School Reunion for Bishop McDevitt's Class of 1967 was a SMASH HIT.  The accolades are OVER THE TOP.  We have received many great comments and congrats on the entire weekend.  Facebook was lit up before and after the reunion weekend.

Believe it or not, whether sounding corny or not, one classmate, while attending the Friday Night Football game, said that his experience there was "Magical".  Magical? Really?  Yes, really!  Surely it had to do with the colorful night sky, the nice temperatures, the sounds and happenings of the game, and of course, being and conversing in the stands with classmates who did the same thing over 50 years ago, and may have not see each other in 10, 20, 30, 40, or even 50 years ago (or maybe even 2 days ago). 
Since the big weekend on September 22-23-24, 2017, I have been gathering pics and Facebook shares about the weekend.  I decided to collect as much info as I could and put it into a document to publish for everyone to see.  It's been an enjoyable task, and it has grown beyond what I had "imagined".  And I now see what this can become, and you will too.

By clicking on the below linked pic of our Pridwen 1967, you will find what is developing into our Pridwen 2017 It's a FIRST DRAFT, but it's good enough to show you what this is and can become.

Note that I have yet to include any pics by the professional photographer who documented the Saturday Evening Reunion Dinner.  So all of the pics are those taken by classmates and shared on Facebook and email.  Hopefully, we can get the photographers pics and include them in the book, Our Pridwen 2017.

What is included in the draft so far are pictures of every event for the entire weekend, Facebook posts with comments from before and after the reunion, added commentary, and pictures from Pridwen 1967. 

What will be added are the photographers pics, more pics from classmates, more pics of topics, and more commentary. 

If you want to share some pics, comments, or a story, I greatly encourage you to do so.  There are comments and stories by classmates in the draft of Pridwen 2017 that are really good.  So don't hold back.  This is a once in a life time experience and documentation of that experience.  What you pics you show and what you say makes the experience even more "Magical" - right Geoff?   

If you post your pics, comments, and stories on Facebook, please tag me so I can immediately get all posts.  That way I won't need to search to see if there are any on your page.

You can also send pics, comments, and stories to me by email at JamesEBarbush@GMail.com

So, click the pic below and take a look at the draft of
