DHS 20 Year Reunion

Danville High School Class of 1995 had their 20 year reunion this July. It has been a long time coming, as the class forgot about its 10 year - and tried to have an 11 year reunion, but that was pre-Facebook. With technology connecting us more than ever these days, the 20 year reunion was a success! Estimated 150 people came back or came out to enjoy the festivities. We even received a tour of the High School - which was part of the highlights of the weekend. I didn't just go back for the reunion, but also went to one of my oldest and best friend's baby shower, and stayed with the Ehrlich's - along with their entire family - for the weekend. I flew into Chicago and visited with Carrie for a short while, and then headed down to Danville with Marisa, Matan, Sagiv, and Alexa. My goal was also to have Custard Cup 5 times in 4 days (met that goal!) and of course to see Nannie and as many other people in town as I could. Having not actually stayed the night in Danville since maybe my wedding weekend 14 years ago...it was good to see the town and all the positive changes that had happened in 20 years. I was so thankful I made the trip! It is one for the memory book - or should I say blog....



 Fancy seeing someone you know at Custard Cup!
 Mr. Cooper found this photo of our moms at their 25th reunion. I totally remember this!
 DHS in the back ground - what great memories!
 The tour - main hallway of DHS
 Awesome DHS Dick Van Dyke Auditorium. I feel like I grew up in this hall with a childhood worth of dance recitals, award ceremonies, assemblies and performances!!




 If these halls could talk!
 Doors to the football field - many a band (color guard) performances and practices out there! 
 1924 Architectural rendering of the original structure of high school.
 The "new aquatic center" 24 years ago - still looks brand new!
 The gym still smells the same....
 The "new field house" 24 yrs ago....
