Letters, with reply postcards, have gone out to 64 members of the Joss Class of 1968 detailing plans for our reunion in Dallas, Texas, on October 23-27, 2014. This is the highest number of classmates we have ever contacted for a reunion. Fr. Dan Clayton is our host. I and my wife, Chris, are managing much of the planning along with Fr. Dan.
The reunion is expected to be as grand as Big D itself. The headliners include a museum of contemporary sculpture and an expansive, vibrant park/green space constructed in the center of the city over an existing expressway; the JFK Memorial and Dealey Plaza; a rodeo at Cowtown Coliseum and the mechanical bull at Billy Bob's Honky Tonk; an urban wine trail in Grapevine, TX, and the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Yet, there is much more to suit the tastes of all guests!
A block of rooms is being held at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Market Center, phone 1-800-228-2800. Cost is $79 + tax per night ("Joss Class of 1968" rate). This is a great deal given facility amenities and location. Attendees are to make their own reservations.
All class members are to return their postcards to me to express their intentions regarding this reunion. Contact information is provided in the letter for anyone who has additional questions. We are looking forward to a heart-warming and fun-filled reunion.
