Over 400 people gathered to Vanha for the great anniversary ball on Saturday night. The more serious and boring parts were taken care in Friday afternoon. Exellent speeches. Soome funny missspellings or should I say misspronaunsiations. Kasvatusmiesten maisteri instead of kasvatustieteiden maisteri was my favourite. That was in Friday.
Saturday
We had "etkot" = pre party coctails in our home before the main gala. Plenty of champange and bubbling was drunken by 30 happy party goers. Tapes/bands got some heat from iron and birds were pimped.
We happened to have exellent seating arrangements with good view and the right people. My contribution to this party was mostly on that field. It is part of my special knowhow that I have gathered during all these years.  Boy-girl-boy -girl,  can not stand each other, will make everybody else aroung them to enjoy the night. Never together- in fraud since 18th century... Important things to know as you make the seating assignements.

Somehow the party itself was such a anticlimax. So many people you knew and would have liked to chance more than a wink. Lots of warm feelings as you saw people that you had not seen in 10 years. Many exellent speeches. No eveningdess above others. Lots of hansome men. Funny details to be noticed.

One more thing I do wish to share with you: Friday after the "Day-Party" most formal part of the celebrations, many of us went to Urkki. We sat and gossipped with Paula and our table became quite international as the visitors from Germany and Sweden joined us. We almost were polite hosts with Paula. Then Seppo came by. I introduced him to the table saying: "With Seppo we met here in Osakunta 17 years ago". That was really shattering moment. 17 years! Ok, there was a misscalculation there, but still. We see each other and specially ourselfs pretty young. But thosee people sitting around the table were about Wilhelmina's age then when we were fuxis. That was 1991.
