Hi Everyone!
The Class of 1996 Reunion a few weeks ago was a great success. Thanks to Daniette, Gina, and Kat for organizing the weekend festivities and for Srs. Elisa and Jackie, Mrs. Goggins, Mrs. Cranford, Mrs. Munger, Mrs. Benvenutti, Mr. Hull, and everyone at OLA for welcoming us back.
I’ve posted the pictures from the weekend along with those from the “Memories” slide show on a website for all to view.

The class of 1996 has been quite busy in the past 10 years and it was great to catch up. Members traveled from all over to go back to OLA and Bay St. Louis. Thanks to those who traveled great distances; I’m sure you were glad you did. Thanks too for those traveling from just around the corner! Below is a list of the reunion attendees and were they traveled from. Also in attendance were several graciously obliging husbands, one driver hired for the weekend trip from Greenwood, and five beautiful little boys (and one bashful little girl who’s yet to show her face – note the overly pregnant classmate prominently posed in several pics). We hope that next time even more people will make the journey!
