Sebring "Gathering" -
April 18 - 20, 2008 Hello to All!! The Highlands County classmates who put on the Sebring mini-reunion the weekend of April 18 -20 simply outdid themselves! They provided a wonderful weekend for the 100 or so attendees who traveled to the middle of the state for this event which involved 8 months of planning. From the massive amounts of hors d'ouvres contributed by the "Sebring Dragons" for the Friday evening party to the reasonably-priced cash bar to the excellent decorations, and the delicious Saturday evening buffet, it was all outstanding! There was even an Elvis impersonator for entertainment! Attendees were welcomed by Sebring Dragons who manned a reception table the entire weekend and were given a "goodie bag" containing a program, a list of everyone there, brochures of local information and some orange and blue candies. Next to the table was a display of every classmate who attended! A sign over a door welcomed folks to the "Dragon's Den," a large room for gathering where there was an array of food and a well-stocked bar. The original Dragon's Den was nothing like this!! Our Highlands County Classmates / Hosts were: Fred & Neyda Blake, Steve & Alayne (Wolverton) Bush, Sue (Huffman) Camaraire, Richard & Pat Crowley, Fran (Harwell) Oliver, Mike & Mary Swaine, Karin Kraai Wenger, Sam & Marilyn (Kalie) Wilkin, Alan & Jane Wolverton, Ken & Paulette (Lemieux) Krug, Robert & Francine (Camaraire) Whitman and Dane Jensen. A special thanks to Karin Kraai Wenger for the lovely centerpieces which she designed and created; and to Diana Dodge for supplying little orange and blue candies with "Sebring Dragons - 2008" embedded in them. Those who attended were Larry & Carole (Stiles) Adams, David Albury, Rick Albury, Ruth (Rigdon) Barnes, Walter & Alice (Drake) Berg, Bill & Barb Briley, Jim Brubaker, Helen (Merritt) Bryan, Dick Buntrock, Bob & Theo (Jones) Byrne, Bob & Cheryl Chambless, Sandy (Croft) Clowney, Richard & Pat Crowley, Gary & Sandy Dahlhofer, Mike & Carol Dew, Victor & Evanne DiGenti, Diana Dodge, Luckey Dodge, Sharon (Cookie Rupp) Fay, Mike & Laurette Fuller, John & Pat Gettinger, Mike & Mary Lou Grizzle, Jimmy Hall, Dane Hancock, Bob & Judy (Wilson) Handy, Jack Hartfield, Sam (Jane) Heede, Will & Bev Bryan Hoppe, Ron & Sandy Jones, Dixie Joyner, Karen lambert, John Lamon, Walt & Mickey Hanes Lee, Joann (Purvis) Long, Jeff & Cindi MacNeir, Ted & Alice Mallory, Judy (Van Gorder) Mazurek, Torchy (Lawson) McClure, Paul & Lynn Mize, Mike & Carol Mucci, Dennis O'Bea, Don & Becky O'Neal, Ann (Harvey) Ottaviano, Jerry & Jean (Gronquist) Ray, Doyle & Linda Raybon, Irene (Barth) Russ, Hal & Kathie (Koberstein) Schmidt, Buck & Suzanne (Spangler) Seeley, Bev (Weiss) Shaffner, Jackie Shaw, Kay (Kress) Ullom, and Doug & Maureen Wilson.
