| Capping off the reunion weekend
celebration was the 50-Year Golden Reunion Dinner-Dance held at the Niagara Falls Country
Club Saturday evening. (Click here for list of
attendees) Mike
Ventry, president of the student council at Niagara Falls High School during our senior
year, was scheduled to be part of the program at the 50-Year Golden Reunion Dinner Dance
on August 16 to speak about the significance of the occasion. Unfortunately, he came
down with a bad case of laryngitis that day and was unable to deliver his remarks as he
had planned. Mike has given the Reunion Committee a copy of his speech and asked that it be posted onto our Web site. He had a particular message that he wanted to convey to his fellow classmates. The Reunion Committee is pleased to comply with Mike’s request. Click on this link to view Mike's speech.
