Reunion office abandoned, no explanation yet

Visitors to the headquarters of the 2010 Reunion of the Jefferson High Class of 1965 yesterday were stunned to find the office doors unlocked, windows wide open but no one there. The abandoned offices are located on the second floor of the Woodtick Lodge, West Little Lake Darling, Alexandria, Minnesota.
There was no sign of the recently-appointed reunion chairman, Bob Watson, who also serves as office manager. No forwarding address was given.
An emergency meeting of the reunion committee was called late last night in hopes of finding an explanation to offer to class members.
Examination of the Woodtick suite revealed only ordinary office materials: Subway sandwich wrappers, a torn pizza box and receipt (pepperoni with extra cheese), a case of empties, worn deck of World Poker Tour playing cards and a leather-bound dice cup (No dice). Black and red curtains with tiny embossed Cardinals flapped in the cold fall wind blowing off Little Darling.
Searchers were unable to locate the After-Dinner Speaker's Fund Cash Box.
Flabbergasted by this development, a reunion representative, who did not wish to be identified, said that class members should be reassured that the reunion will go on as planned.
"Our earnest money check has cleared the bank," he said. "Our plans have not changed. Bob was doing just a great job getting this thing organized. It just doesn't make any sense. We're flummoxed."
Repeated attempts to reach the absent chairman failed yesterday.
In hopes of getting to the bottom of this unexpected development, the committee has hired a special investigator who will examine the premises, interview associates and get back with a full report.
"Until then," the embarrassed representative admitted, "We just have nothing to go on."
Persons with any information are urged to contact this blog, the unofficial site of the class reunion, by emailing Rolfsrud@gmail.com
All tips will be held in the strictest confidence.
