Coach Tom and Karin Roncoli. They were at KAHS from the time it opened, through the 1957 season. Quite without any advance notice on our part, the coach gave us a detailed history of his teams in Germany - the best he ever coached in his career, he said. WHY didn't somebody bring a tape recorder?

We attempted a group picture at the Friday night festivities.

We sang "Rhine High Forever" and Bob Richmond updated us on Bob Long's situation in Viet Nam. If he is able to continue his work there, you'll get a mailing requesting your support of his medical efforts.

Somewhat out of focus in the hospitality suite at about 0500 are secretary-treasurer Warren Hopkins '55, president Bob Richmond '55, and vice president Jerry King '55.

[opryland hotel.] At the Opryland Hotel, which is built around what might be described as a giant greenhouse.

We each had just attempted to fit 75 feet of food (that's what they said - I didn't pace it off) - into 30something feet of human gastrointestinal tract.

Let's move on to some GIRLS women (after close to half a century - it's been so long!)
