The weekend of August 19, 2006 and the reuniting of The CSSS Class of 86 at the Glory Days 20 Year High School Reunion has drawn to a close. This photo blog was created to capture the feeling and fun that happened through Friday's Social Night at The Vault Pub & Grill-Downtown Chilliwack, and at Saturday's Dinner and Dance held at The Evergreen Hall.

On Saturday night, the cocktail hour(s) were launched with live music from Trevor McDonald & Kat. An incredible dessert buffet was presented following a chicken barbeque dinner. Brad Hagkull-Valedictorian for our Class of 86 spoke with Bryan Bickley-Historian for our Class of 86 following. They both did a fantastic job. Karen de Nevers, who served as MC for the evening, presented a video for all in attendance that included photos from the Jr. High and Sr. High years of all '86 Grads. Door prizes were handed out and awards were received by Duane Prodeahl for the Most Changed Grad and Paula Mulherin for the Least Changed Grad. We had Grads who traveled from all parts of BC, Alberta and Ontario and a gift was given to Lisa Lewis (Grad who traveled the greatest distance to be with us) from London, England. Proceeds of a portion of the money charged for the night's beverages were given as a Gift of Friendship to The Hope River Classic, a fun walk/run/wheel event launched the morning of the reunion by The Hagkull Family to raise awareness and funds towards Spina Bifida. The hall was then turned over to our DJ to take us into the next day...

Toasts were given... Memories were shared... It was truly a night of nights....

Here's to Glory Days.... Here's to the Class of 86.... God Bless.

I Will Always Think Of You...

Now & Forever

Words & Lyrics by Carole King

Now and forever, you are a part of me

And the memory cuts like a knife

Didn't we find the ecstasy, didn't we share the daylight

When you walked into my life

Now and forever, I'll remember

All the promises still unbroken

And think about all the words between us

That never needed to be spoken

We had a moment, just one moment

That will last beyond a dream, beyond a lifetime

We are the lucky ones

Some people never get to do all we got to do

Now and forever, I will always think of you

Didn't we come together, didn't we live together

Didn't we cry together

Didn't we play together, didn't we love together

And together we lit up the world

I miss the tears, I miss the laughter

I miss the day we met and all that followed after

Sometimes I wish I could always be with you

The way we used to do

Now and forever, I will always think of you...

Who Says You Can't Go Home...Bon Jovi

I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place

I was lookin for something I couldn't replace

I was runnin away from the only thing I've ever known

And like a blind dog without a bone

I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone

I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold

I've been there, done that, I ain't lookin' that.

The seeds I've sown, saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone...

Who says you can't go home.

Who says you can't go home

There's only one place that call me one of their own

Just a hometown boy, born a rolling-stone

Who says you can't go home.

Who says you can't go back

Been all around the world and that's a matter of fact.

There's only one place left I want to go

Who says you can't go home.

I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face

There isn't one of these lines that I would erase

I left a million miles of memories on that road

And every step I take I know that I'm not alone

You take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home

These are my streets, the only life I've ever known

Who says you can't go home.

-Bon Jovi
