I like this idea, and I even like the idea of bringing a "significant guest." However, I think that there needs to be some debate alone time. Would it be completely rude to request that the guests disappear when Frenzel does? There are several reasons for this:

1. Our guests (well...your guests...I don't have a guest) will be bored to death with our stories and jargon.
2. Some of us might not want to meet/spend time with some of the guests (like...Nathan's girlfriend, John Henry's potential new girlfriend, etc.)
3. It'll be more like old times if we don't have a ton of people unfamiliar with the debate world hanging around
4. The guests will be intimidated/overwhelmed by a room full of old friends speaking in what feels like a foreign tongue
5. I don't like strangers. (This is my selfish side.)

Anyway, yeah...Abe and I briefly entertained the idea of a reunion last year. We managed to hunt down names and addresses for almost everyone. (Josh was among the lost, sadly enough.) Abe has also disappeared, but Little Abe emailed me out of the blue a few weeks ago, so...I'm sure I could get Abe's information from Little Abe. (Yes, Abe IS married again, by the way.) So. I'm willing to help out with the organization and such...
