Our Next Reunion 2009 will mark 45 years since the 64Knights took that final walk across the stage at Taft Stadium. And as is our custom, we are beginning the planning for another mega celebration of that event. It is generally agreed by most that the 40th Reunion was the greatest of all our Reunions, so we have vowed to try to make the 45th even bigger and better. To do this, we need your suggestions and ideas. Do we want a dinner dance again with a picnic follow-up? Do we want our old friend Ronnie Kay to be the MC? Should it be in the same venue? Let us hear from you. Reply to the 64Knights@yahoogroups.com with your ideas and hopes for the 45th. Remember, it will be here before you know it! WW
