John Paul Jones
We spent three days out at St. Pete Beach following the reunion so I'm just getting around to posting. Everything about the reunion was wonderful. We had not been back to St. Pete in years and to see the transformation of the downtown and all out 4th Street North was amazing. Who would of thought nightlife in downtown St. Pete would be what it is now. Thank you to the committee for a well-planned and fun reunion. There's no way to get around the awkwardness of meeting classmates after 50 years, so we just sucked it up and stared at the name tags (thank goodness for those). So many stories in so little time. Looking forward to the 55th. The school trip was eye-opening. The care and pride at current day NEHI is palpable and the many programs that have been added are keeping up with the times - a student run charted credit union, auto mechanics program, culinary arts, special needs kids program and more. I'm so glad we attended. We are the Vikings, mighty, mighty Vikings!
