MODEL SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF MSSD Reunion 2000 Wrap Up FROM: Yvonne Mattiello Reunion
Photos posted March 26, 2001 WHAT A BIG AND WONDERFUL REUNION IT WAS!Over 500 MSSD alumni participated in our MSSD Reunion 2000 in Ocean City, Maryland last May 4 to 7, 2000. The total number of our alumni and guests who attended the reunion will be announced as soon as Yvonne Mattiello, the host of MSSD Reunion 2000 finishes counting the receipts. NOT READY TO SAY GOODBYES.There was so much to do during the reunion and we all had fun. The weekend went by so fast for us. We were not ready to say our good byes to each other. Some of us actually had tears and sad emotions that we had to leave. How was the weather there? It was in high 80s to low 90s degree and the sun was shining. There was almost no wind, just a light breeze. It doesn’t get much better than the weather that weekend! What did we do and see? There were too many MSSD faces around and inside the hotel and many more at Ocean City Boardwalk and everywhere in the area that some seemed so familiar or strangers to us. Many of us made new friends and reunited with our old classmates and friends. We hugged and talked and talked but we also danced! DJ crew did a great job with music and moving lights. ALUMNI GROUP PICTURESThere were about 400 faces in the panaroma and class pictures. Thanks a bunch to our alumni of MSSD for participating in the photo shooting session on the beach in front of Princess Royale Oceanfront hotel and for their cooperation for making this a success. Very few alumni missed our photo shooting session. For more information about panaroma and class pictures, please contact the photographer: DICK MOORE Contact MSSDREUNION2000@aol.com if you need mailing address. Finally, photos of our Alumni by classes are here for you to see. WINNERS ALL!Congratulations to our 6 winners of MSSD Reunion 2000 raffle ticket prizes. C.
