Andrew Warde High School's Class of 1979 Enjoyed a "Terrific" 30-Year Reunion at the Stamford Hilton

Andrew Warde High School's Class of 1979 enjoyed a "terrific" 30-year reunion last Saturday evening. That's the word from reunion chairman Russ Campbell. "Heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who came, and especially those who worked so hard to make it happen," he said.

The event, which was held at the Stamford Hilton, included a buffet dinner, senior slide show, and post-reunion festivities. "People began arriving promptly at 7 p.m., and for the next four hours, there was a constant stream of hugs, kisses, surprises, confusion, more hugs, laughter, dancing, tributes, stories, and hysterical laughter," Campbell added.

Campbell thanked the many people who helped make the reunion a success. "We are most grateful to Jay Sanza (AWHS 1978), who shared with us the wealth of his experience working with his class's reunions and get-togethers," he said.

"Jay not only answered all of our questions quickly and graciously, but also spontaneously supplied us with useful tips and information. Even as we went down to the wire, Jay checked in with me asking if everything was going as planned."

Campbell continued, "I'd most especially like to thank the committee, which made this happen: Maria Cerrone, Lucie Aldridge, Dean Coclin and Elaine Falkenberg. Without you, this never could have happened."

The reunion continued well into the night and early Sunday morning, according to Campbell. "A good number of us made our way down to the hotel bar and continued the festivities until the bar closed at 2 a.m.," he pointed out. "We moved to the hotel lobby and kept it going for nearly another hour."

Classmates are encouraged to visit the reunion Web site to see the senior slide show and the many photos from the memorable night. The Web site includes a blog, message board, and updates on classmates.

"There is now a category on our message board dedicated to stories and feedback on the 30th reunion," Campbell emphasized. "Please take a few minutes and share with everybody your experiences and memories of the reunion."

Here's a short video of classmates on the dance floor which I found on Youtube.

Congratulations to Russ Campbell and the Andrew Warde High School Class of 1979 for a great reunion!
