I just wanted to say thank you to Kelly and Mark for putting all of this together. Especially in getting in touch with all of us and setting up the website so we could all connect again. I have been amazed to find how many fellow eagles live so close to where I live and work. I have not been able to attend any of the reunions due to family situations and just life in general as we all can attest to. I am looking forward to this one. My students have heard all about some of those fun days, our plans and they know how much I love football so they know that will be a riot...a good one. They are expecting pictures...it will be a wonderful example and encouragement for them to want to graduate when the odds are not in their favor. I know that getting all this done has been a huge task and the website alone is a witness of excellence and taking pride in who we are and where we came from: We are the Canyon Eagles and proud of it. Our feathers may be a little thin, our bellies a little fuller and our eyes a bit dimmer but we are Eagles, strong protectors and fighters when faced with adversity, people of pride and honor.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, sharing family pictures and hearing some wonderful stories of our first 50 years. I tell people I'm 29 with 54 years experience. Fun and good laughs with family and friends is important. Moments are memories and today is filled with yesterdays memories for every tomorrow.
Also, thanks for setting up the Merchandise section. I haven't got anything left from back then and it wouldn't fit anyway...life you know. I just wish I could get some copies of the yearbooks from 72 to 75 to go along with my purchases. If anyone knows how I can get a copy of them I would appreciate it bunches.
Thanks again guys, you've done a wonderful job. Looking forward to seeing you all.
Sharon
