Glorious Gambles

20091018 Sunday through 20091020 Tuesday

Two gambles – 1) traveling, especially going to the other side of the world, and 2) planning, such as our 50^th Class reunion at our Woodstock School in India

First 2) Planning for a 50th Class reunion at our Woodstock School in India.  About two years ago our class started thinking about and planning our 50^th Class reunion, the class being those who had been in the Woodstock School class who graduated in 1959.  Our most success with this gamble was planning, organizing, and some 18 classmates (with 10 or so spouses) gathering together in mid-July 2009 at the Hotel in Newport Or for 3 days before the general WOSA reunion in Eugene. We also planned for a reunion at Woodstock School in India – several voiced interest in that reunion, but some decided to take a trip down the Rhine, or a India tour after the School reunion failed to materialize, or some did not have the time money, or they had already been back to India and the School and didn’t want to go again, or never wanted to go back to India, or such kinds of reasons.  Ended up, that three of us decided to celebrate our 50^th at the School – Li, Lindsay with her husband Dana, and me with Deej.  If the gamble to get 20 or so at our reunion in India – that failed.  Our the gamble succeeded in getting three classmates at our India reunion.

2) traveling, especially going to the other side of the world
