| Hello All, I was glad see those who came to the reunion. To those I didn't get a chance to catch up with, see you in 10 more years! I'm sorry I didn't make it to the beach party - I was on the road back to Miami. Thanks Misty for doing such a great job getting everything organized. Go Vikes c/o '97 | |||

| Given how thoroughly our erstwhile Senior class president, and the event's coordinator, believe in that rubbish, I'm stunned there wasn't some sort of mind-numbing chant before dinner. For everyone's benefit, I hope there was not... http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28812 | |||

| From what I'm told, the reunion was quite fun. I would've loved to have been there, but, of course, Misty banned me (as was her right as the coordinator; I have no ill will toward her). I hope Misty will find it in her heart to forgive whatever trespasses caused this disdain toward me, if for no other reason than I'd still like to see everyone, even in ten more years. Either that, or someone else plan the next one. I still love you all (even you, Misty, if a little less than everyone who didn't ban me from the reunion). --Greg | |||

| Misty great job so far. Finally, a good reason to get my hubby to go over to the FWB area. We go back and forth to PCB all the time but he never wants to go that way. I think Crab Island will be enough to change his mind. I hope our PWCs hold up till then. He wrecked them last stunt driving. Well, can't wait to see everyone.

| Ok, the solution to the problem. Myself, I make $70,000 dollars a year, Dr. Grelling is a physicist/swimwear model so she estimates around the same, Greg, teacher Alachua County maybe $35,000 and finally Dr. Etheredge (many address him as McDreamy), not sure of his income, but has several contacts as do for I. So between the 4 of us we should pay all who attend. What do you think? | |||

| I've been teaching since October, but I doubt the Alachua County salary gives me enough to pay for EVERYONE (it does, however, offer a good bit of time off for reunions and such). That said, I might be able to float a few people, if necessary. I would imagine a nuclear physicist/swimwear model would have enough extra cash to pay for a few people as well, so step up Dr. Grelling... | |||

| Speak for yourself Greg, but I like to think of myself as above the rules. I think the good Dr. E will attest to that. You see, my height alone allows me to stay above the rules. So, it is through medical necessity that I do not pay. I now open the floor for debate. ;) | |||

| This is probably a violation of friendship confidentiality, but I feel compelled to bring a disturbing development to everyone's attention: Etheredge emailed me last night and said he wasn't going to pay. He said he was just going to use this site to make everyone think he was going to pay, but then he was just going to show up, just "to see the looks on everyone's faces." I was conflicted about whether to bring his note to others' attention, but in the end I felt compelled. It just isn't right that Stephen thinks the rules don't apply. I don't know what they teach in "medical school" or any other kind of "school," but I do know this: rules are rules, and no one is above them. | |||

Other than that-- having the good Dr. Etheredge buy the bar sounds like a plan... --All those for the reunion's "Dr. E Bar" say "I".... There you have it... --Done and done... --Thanks Doc. | |||

Better yet, why not throw the function there in a big tent? :D Just kidding.

| I have money. I swear to God I can afford the ticket. I'm not poor. Please believe me. Anyway, I chose Etheredge as the free-rider because a) I thought it would be funny, and b) because he's a perfect example of a person we would let in even if he didn't buy a ticket beforehand. I just don't think that buying tickets up front will solve the free-rider problem. I mean, if you don't have a ticket to a football game, you don't get in. But is Cash--and I do appreciate the offer, John--going to stand guard and make sure Etheredge doesn't come in? | |||

| Steve, you do not have to be the free-loader? It appears Newburn wants to be the free-loader? Ann was first to offer Newburn a free ticket, I will second and offer to purchase his drinks. Oh, if he needs a place to stay, i have place for him at the Police Department. | |||

| I hope these conversations are indicative of the ones to come----I have missed you people. And don't worry, Greg. I'll pay for your ticket. | |||

| Most reunions require payment up front. Same here. That will help with head count for food and such. I'm all for keeping it as inexpensive as possible and am looking at having a venue by the weekend to get the registration process started. This will give us a few months to get the deposits made. Or if that fails we will all get drunk at the beach. Just kidding! By the way this page will have a message board starting on Friday so we can be exoteric about reunions there. | |||

| Unfortunately reunions are plagued by free-rider problems. No one has an incentive to pick up the tab for the event, because everyone is thinking everyone else ought to do it. In other words, it's rational to want all of the benefits without assuming any of the costs (i.e., "I'll show up, but not pay."). The problem, of course, is that everyone has the same set of incentives (i.e., to free ride on the efforts of everyone else). In other words, reunions are a "public goods" problem, because it is difficult to make them excludable. After all, are we going to turn away, say, Stephen Etheredge, just because he hasn't chipped in when he shows up? Of course not. Until that fundamental problem is solved (and of course it can be, since reunions do happen), organizing anything is going to be difficult. | |||
