The reunion started with three Morrison Academy alumni schoolmates, Randy, Sandy and Marion, deciding to get together with, perhaps, a few friends. I heard about it and suggested that so long as hotels and transportation were involved, it was about as easy to just invite the Silver Chapter alumni group, which represents the senior 20 or so classes of Morrison. Surprisingly, they said, "yes, lets do it", and divided up chores to make it happen. Cleveland, OH, was central for the planning committee, and we had not had a reunion in that part of the country, so they settled on the Hilton Garden Hotel near the airport. The hotel proved to be a wonderful host, and treated us as a group and as individuals with outright friendliness and attentiveness.

The reunion spanned three days, with a meet and great on Friday evening, which included a" Taste of Italy" dinner catered by the hotel. Saturday morning we had a business meeting for the Silver Chapter, and two presentations which turned out to be on elder care, by Dan Lawton and Dr. Steve Wilkerson. These proved to be very timely for the group and the discussion that evolved went on for nearly an hour. Several in the group had experience in the field and made very salient comments. Saturday afternoon was free time and groups of friends did outings, which included the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The evening started with formal photos of the group and classes. We then went downtown to the Li Wah Chinese Restaurant for an eight course banquet. It was an evening of laughter and memories, accompanied by sumptuous, authentically prepared, cuisine. Sunday morning was a service with our old, favorite, hymns, sung with an irrepressible harmony that one seldom hears anymore. Time was given for several to trace their journey since Morrison.
