WHAT YOU WANT IN A REUNION
The number of responses to the reunion questionnaire carried in the last newsletter was a little disappointing. A review of the questionnaire, however, indicates its construction was not the best. (You can blame this on the editor).
More than 40 replies were scored two ways and the results were the same in both cases. Primary reason for coming to a reunion is to see and visit old friends and make new ones. Tied for second were geographic location of the reunion and reunion events.
The encouraging result is that all but one of the replies indicated that they would most likely come to Reunion 96 in Topeka. One could assume that they were supposed to complete it only if they were coming to Topeka. This was not the intent. Determining reunion interest/priorities should not have been combined with coming/not coming to a specific reunion.
