Thank you all

Thank you from the Ondossagon All-School Reunion

 

What started as a wish and a dream became a reality for  over 1400 Aggies and friends who attended our two day reunion. From the large tent and muddy fields in Benoit (someone said Benoit Woodstock less 399,000 people) to the Bay Area Civic Center, Aggies came from almost every state in the union and as far away as Brazil to celebrate Ondossagon, reconnect with classmates, and relive their high school memories. We ate Ondossagon cafeteria food, purchased items from Huff's Store, listened to music from Aggie bands and singers, and connected with over 30 of our past teachers and administrators.  

The reunion was a huge success! The Steering Team, 14 subcommittees, and over 80 core volunteers began the reunion planning two years ago. We again thank all these volunteers. 

By reunion time, we had enlisted the help of service organizations, local and regional businesses, and individuals who shared their talents and expertise which contributed greatly to the success of the reunion in so many different ways. We now want to formally thank them and list them here in no particular sequence.
