"Dear KP Friend Pat: Just a quick note to thank you for your countless hours of dedication and ceaseless hard work in organizing such a wonderful and memorable reunion for the 50th anniversary KPHS classes of 1958. Your extraordinary time and effort on our behalf is very much appreciated. You should not only be very proud of yourself; you should be congratulated many times over. Your "partner in crime," so to speak -- your son, Tom, of course -- is also to be thanked and congratulated for his continuous and numerous efforts on our behalf. I'm sure you were most grateful to have such a devoted worker alongside you. With warmest regards and many, many thanks, J" - Janice Akerheilm
