Saturday Night (8/21/10) of the 45th Reunion
Here are the photos from the no-host cocktail party and dinner-program-dance of Saturday night, plus Sunday's brunch. A special thanks to Henry Kitajima and Jan (Rickard) Davis for sharing Saturday and Sunday photos.
The No-Host Period
It was definitely "cozy" as the late afternoon period progressed. The foyer of the hotel was packed, and circulation became a challenge once you got your name tag and started your search for your first visiting "targets."

Photo series on "Herding Cats"
When guests leave your house you take pictures of perhaps five to eight people in various permutations and combinations. When the SHS Class of '65 gets ready to take the shot, it looks like a demo of Chaos Theory from physics. A very wide angle lens and an air horn might have made the task a bit easier. See lots of mugging going on below, just like the old days.
Photos of the Dinner-Program Period
With 226 to feed in a buffet line, once you were seated there was usually time for visiting and table hopping until your table was called to the buffet line. In this particular case, it seemed like the visiting was dessert and the food could almost wait--
unless you'd been visiting or decorating for part of the afternoon in advance of the main event.

Photos of Sunday Brunch
Just a bit bleary-eyed by this point? (The ATTENDEES, not you viewers of these photos!) Many stayed up late for two consecutive nights, gabbing, and getting little sleep before brunch and departure.
But it was a last chance to catch some of those that were previously missed.
