Looks like fun!

Can you believe this is the 20th time we’ve done this event?! I sure can’t! So much has changed over the years and we’ve learned a lot of what works and doesn’t work. With the same core group of people doing the work each year, it really makes it run like clockwork. We all know what to do, w...

Man With Michigan Ties Pleads Guilty in Matthew Perry's Murder.

Anyone remember this guy involved in Matthew Perrys Death?

According to Iwamasa's LinkedIn profile, he attended H.H. Dow High School in Midland and Lansing Community College (LCC) from 1983 to 1985, graduating Magna Cum Laude with an Associates Degree in Photography. With Iwamasa's guilty plea, hopefully, fans can better deal with Matthew Perry's shocking death.

U.S. Attorney's office files charges against group tied to Matthew Perry's overdose, with assistant Kenneth Iwamasa at the center who has ties to Michigan.

Dear Friends,

As I have felt after all our class reunions, I am truly blessed with such great friends and to me the events in Midland during our reunion were more than a reunion but rather a celebration of those friendships.

It is hard to describe the feeling of pride and admiration that I had in speaking with each of you these last two nights. I am fortunate to have been blessed with a group of people that I can closely relate to as we all grew up in the same place and that is something that binds us.

The years in which we were together, the years in elementary school through high school, seem like a distant memory. These reunions remind us that our strength often comes from one another, and I saw that the last couple of nights as we all gathered. In so doing we each rekindled parts of the fabric of one another’s lives again. It was wonderful seeing a group become inseparable as we reunited once again.

People have been thanking me for organizing the reunions and I am thankful for all your positive comments, and you are truly welcome. I look at myself as merely a catalyst bringing everyone together, the magic comes from all of you. If you looked over at me at any point this weekend and saw me standing alone just looking over everyone, know that I was just taking in the happiness of seeing the joy and excitement of everyone coming together. That is truly the reward of doing this, it’s just a wonderful feeling.

This letter may not have everything in it that I wanted to say, but I couldn’t let this reunion end without some recognition of you all. It may be another few years before we see each other again, but I am certain that when we do meet, I’ll have just as big a smile on my face as I did this last weekend seeing each of you once again.

I want to wish each of you all the best in the future. I look forward to working with everyone who is involved in the preparation of these events, your input is appreciated.

A huge shout out to Kim Donaghy, Russ Robel, and Cathy VanSickle Lunsford for their help and input.

Sincerely

Don Hamel
