the reunion

Finally, after so long, I am taking the palin to Tucson in Denver. Up to the up with people reunion... In the airport there is already a 'one to one' reunion. I am meeting up with Senta from Germany to take the plain to Tucson. It has been a while since I see here, so we have to talk a lot in the plain. Before I even relise, I am already in Tuson. We even get an official welcome in the plain... "welcome to all the UWP alumnis in the plain".

Arriving in Tuscon, the first thing we see are cactuses. Amasing how many cactuses there are. We recognise a lot of things because we were already in Tucson 5 years ago.

We are at the hotel some days before the official reunion starts. It is still quiet... but that will change very fast. The entire hotel will be packed with uppies :-) One by one they are arriving and we start to see some people we know. It is amasing, we haven't seen them for 10 years, but it feels like yesterday...

We all know that it will be a very emotional reunion. We will miss Joanne, the girl that was murderd 2 years ago... we will miss her, but she will be with us in our hearts. Joanne also recieved an award at the reunion. We went on stage with the entire cast and I read a letter from her parents. They are so happy that she recieved the award. We collected some money for the organisation she started. The organisation, is working in Africa and is building a school and a church. We recieved the award in her name, and we will bring it to her parents very soon.

We also went on stage and did some songs from our show. We dedicated the show to Joanne. We also relised that it will be the last time that we will be singing the UWP teamsong on stage. In 5 years, at our next reunion, one of the new casts will be singing that song on there first reunion.

It was so amasing talking to the people. knowing how many kids they already haven, if they are already married, what are they doing in live. We had a lot of talks, and still the feeling that the time was to short.

The last evening we went for dinner in 'the red lobster' for my b-day...

A b-day that I will never forget because I have spend it on the plaine :-)
