The Thursday Night Ice Breaker was arranged by Byron Reynolds at the Imperial Hotel Mai Tai Bar.  On Friday Night, the Reunion Committee arranged for a Get-Together at the Fremont Hotel, where many classmates reunited for the first time.  On Saturday Night, the Official Reunion Banquet was again held at the Fremont Hotel, where contests, dancing a slide show and buffet dinner was held.  The official photo was taken, see below.
