From: Marc Honincx:

  I understand that when I made my short speech at the dinner, some people couldn't hear me in the back, therefore I would be very thankful if you could forward the following message to all our frien
  "Participating in this wonderful reunion, I am frankly embarrassed that Joani is thanking me - the foreign exchange student from Belgium - for my presence here tonight. Instead I feel that I am the one who should be thanking all of you. It is hard for me to find the words to express my gratitude for all you gave me during the year that I spent in California in 1965-1966.
My experience in La Cañada literally chartered the course of my life.
  First my thanks go to you, Joani, and the team who organized this superb event.
  Next I wish to thank my "American brothers and sister" John Knight, Annie Knight and Mike Donnell and their parents who so generously welcomed me into their homes.
  My special thanks go to my football friends since they were my first, somewhat hard, contacts during summer practice before school started. We suffered under coach Mahoney, we were bruised but we emerged as winners and built an indestructible camaraderie.
  Someone wrote on Facebook, that we were fortunate at La Cañada to have the most elegant girls. I appreciate how true this statement is after meeting so many lovely ladies again this week-end.
  There are so many other people I would like to thank - fellow students, seniors and non-seniors, and our community at large in La Cañada Flintridge.
  While I was a student here I was literally adopted by an American lawyer who convinced me to study law. I attended law schools in both Europe and the US, and was fortunate to have a legal career that brought me to live and work in the US for five years before returning to Europe.
  When I left California and returned to Brussels to complete my Belgian high school studies. I cannot describe how homesick I felt for La Cañada and all of you. By sheer coincidence I met an American student who had moved from Palos Verdes and was brave enough to study in my French-speaking school. We dated and shared our feelings about missing the US. At the end of high school we both went our separate ways.
Five years ago we reconnected and resumed our relationship as if it had never stopped. I am very happy that, at our reunion, my wife Jane has a chance to meet so many of my friends that I talked about 50-years ago.
I  t all started in La Cañada, our Alma Mater.
  My sincere thanks to each and every one of you.
May God bless you and our beautiful country, the United States of America.
