Dear Classmates,
Organizing and coordinating the Class of 1968 Reunion Fiesta was a
privilege and honor for me. It took me many, many years to realize that
I missed something special by not going through the rites-of-passage
that is high school senior year. At our reunion, you all made it
abundantly clear that I was fully a part of the Senior Class of 68. The
empty place in my heart has been joyously filled.
This website is a tribute to all of us for reconnecting with each
other. In particular, tremendous thanks goes to Jeff and Christine King
for being such a vital part of the planning and execution of the
Fiesta. Your commemorative gifts will be remembered and treasured. What
a great idea to ask us for updated bios! They added to our
understanding of each other. Finding El Meson de Pepe was a brilliant
find - adding the perfect Sabor Latino for the weekend. Que Viva El
Kiosko!
Leigh Sperling captured the essence of Senior Year in her marvelously
edited El Flamboyan Yearbook. Scanning the yearbook pictures for
inclusion in this site was a powerful visual and emotional reminder of
1968 for me, the year I missed. You captured us at our Robinson best.
Leigh, I'm wearing your Fiesta T-shirt as I write. Thank you.
I'm especially gratified that so many of our class traveled all the way
to Key West. Sherman, Cherie, John, Laurette, Paul, Angel, Linda and
Madeline: You all had issues that could easily have kept you from
attending, and yet you came. You have reaffirmed our connections to
each other.
. . . it's like we never left Robinson. The years melted away and I
felt 17 again. Let's never get old.
Lorenzo
Thank you all for your wonderful photos. Enjoy reliving the Fiesta
weekend.
