5th Reunion: 1977
So did we have one? Well, sort of ...
Reunions

We report,this message from Vicki (Burkhard) Nurre:

Hey John!

It's a late Saturday night, and I was going over the old mhs web site and saw references to past reunions. Although the site says that we had no reunion in 1977, I beg to differ! I was there...It was in Aggieville, I think over Christmas, but I'm not absolutely sure. Maybe spring of 1978? But I think it was at the bar (forgot the name of it) that was where there used to be a drive-up window to pick up beer, the one that is on the same street as Baskin and Robbins used to be on. I remember distinctly talking with Mary Jo Berber, but that's about it! And there weren't many of us, just enough to have a party. Lots of comparing notes with people that amounted to not much because we all were still navigating school or early ventures.

And Ed Schiappa says this:

Yes, there was a 5th reunion, of sorts. I was there and Vicki is right--it was at a bar in Aggieville (the one near to Palace Drug -- Mr. K's or Kites, as I recall). The place was packed--much to small to hold us.

Now, it may be that the ONLY thing we did was meet to drink & dance at that bar. I am not at all sure whether there were other events as there were in subsequent reunions. But there was definitely THIS gig, unless both Vicki & I are mixing it up with some other event. It may have been relatively unadvertised and thus attended mostly by locals (as was the unofficial 20th reunion).

And we also report this, from about the time of the 5th reunion (if it occurred, (which we take no official position on, but it probably did))...
