Happy Thanksgiving to all my Bear Classmates.

I will always remember my first Thanksgiving as a Spring Branch Bear. It was 1974. The Band and Brigade had the awesome opportunity to march in the Macy's Parade. What an experience!!! Seeing those giant balloons. Practicing in Central Park West. Making the turn onto Broadway. Finally performing in front of Macy's. What great memories.

I hope you make some new memories this Thanksgiving.

I am grateful for each of you!

Great time last night. If you don't see yourself in any of the pictures you missed a great time. Next opportunity is 5 years from now. The big 50. Go Bears!

If you're thinking of attending, go for it! The combination of "KIH" and the Class of '78 Bears should make for a good time.

Thanks.
