The Robert E Lee class of 1963 will celebrate its 60th year Reunion on October 6 and 7th, 2023. Our Reunion dinner will be Friday, October 6th at the Hilton Garden Inn, 4910 E. Chase St. at 6:30PM.
For those of you that will be staying at the hotel, you may “early check-in” beginning at noon, as rooms become available. In addition, information will be provided by the hotel as to a “gratis” continental breakfast. If you would like a full breakfast from their dining room, it will be at your expense.
Beginning at 5:00pm we will open the registration table for the Reunion dinner check-in. “Cash Bar” will open at 5:00pm – 11:00pm with dinner beginning at 6:30pm. Classmates will receive a full buffet prepared by the hotel and the “cash bar” will provide cocktails and drinks.
After the buffet the Reunion Committee will recognize class President, Kelly Rushing to speak, Kay Hester will then give the class an update of classmates who have passed on, and our on-going program that provides the REL Library a book donation in the name of the deceased. Drawings will be held for “Door Prizes” cummulating in a special give-away of a wonderful painting donated by fellow classmate, Kenneth Parker (who was, sadly, unable to attend.)
Reunion festivities continue the next evening, Saturday the 7th with a gathering at 5:30pm at “O’Neal’s Sports Bar and Grill on the Water” – (at the Fred Hartman Bridge) for dinner. Live music starts at 7:00. Again, this is at your expense.
The Committee wishes to thank all the classmates who helped put this reunion together and also the Hilton Sales Event Manager, Veronica Hanson, who navigated the difficult task of reorganizing and re-negotiating costs for the class.

As a sidenote, if any classmates are willing to car-pool, there are some that would like to catch a ride to the reunion. Check with the committee to see if one of these is near you and you could provide ride services.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments or concerns about the reunion may be directed to Regina at (615) 243-3201. If you’re thinking about attending but have not yet sent your money … please let Regina know IMMEDIATELY. We’re unable to accommodate walk-ups due to a final count on dinners for the Hilton’s Restaurant.
Thank you,
Bill Mc
