During the August of 2008, the THS class of 1958 gathered in Tomahawk to reunite after 50 years. For some of us it was almost 50 years since we saw each other, I being one of those. It was a joyous weekend for me, and my husband Paul, enjoyed it equally even though he knew no one prior to that weekend.
It was you, Mary Lou and Bill who made the weekend so memorable for us. You invited us to stay with you at your little red cottage on Somo Lake. From the first moment to the last, you made us feel comfortable and welcome. Perhaps the highlight of each evening was the return to the cottage and the bonfire Bill lit. He saved the best for the last night when he set a hollow stump on the fire. We watched it act like a chimney by shooting flames up through the hole in the center. It was enchanting, especially for us since we no longer doing any camping, and wouldn't have access to such a treasure.
Thank you for granting us such a pleasurable reunion. We loved your cottage and love you as well!
Mary Lou, you will always remain in my fondest memories of THS as being a part of the quartet that sang "To Sing Awhile". Too bad we didn't sing more songs together. I am sorry that Jane and Mary Jo were not with us last summer to reminisce about the 'good old days'!
May God bless you and grant you many happy, healthy years ahead.
With love,
Paul and Gwen O'Brien
