The pictures below are from the DYC reunion party. The idea was to invite as many old time members whether or not they were still members. There were over 400 people there, so I would say it was very successful!.
We were invited to go to the party, and stay with the Bakers at their very beautiful 100 year
old house. Naturally we accepted! We flew to Detroit Fri, went to the party Friday night.
Saturday, the Bakers took us to a matinee of Sweet Charity, at the Fisher theater. We went to Bayview Yacht Club sat. night, went to The Ford Museum Sun. and stayed at theDearborn Inn
Sun. night!! Flew home Mon. What a whirlwind weekend. Never had such a good time. If you got this far, but not before I finish the posting, you'll see that we had a good time at Bayview too.
