I think it would be great to have a place to post requests, answers, or just general prayers for Class 281 or any pre-bud family. Everyone is Welcome!

I bet that was heart breaking. THey have worked so hard to get to that day! Mine is class 283 but I hate to think I have to fight to get a seat and then not be able to see. I think the immediate family, mom dad, wife, brother/sister should have reserved seats.
Good to know about the dinner. I have asked mine to check on the numbers now that they are home and let me know.
My son also received an email that said only 9 could attend, period. Apparently they have had too many attendees and are trying to cut down on the number. THis is the first time that this has happened. We went back and forth because I thought as everyone else thought that the invitations could sit and the rest could stand. My son has said all of the guys are very upset and have let people know. Maybe they will change the ruling. We have several more than 9 also. One is coming from Germany. I guess I will tell everyone to RSVP and see what happens. I sure hope all of the family gets in.
love my 2 b's and a mother - read down further, mama maria had said that her son and mine played golf together and I was just responding to that. Hope you guys are having a good day!
I love to hear that the boys are socializing ! Thanks for the update! all work and no play is sad!!!!!
