Belden, it's hard to pin down, but there have been at least a few who have mentioned it when they registered. You can reread their comments from the guestbook. There were also 5 non Wagner folks who wrote me directly. They all said they envied our group and wished they were alumni! I won't repeat what two of the female writers said <grin>. To my knowledge, the program
has run 3 times (it is repeated during the day it airs). I was told
by TLC that it would air 5-6 times during the season. So there is
a good chance we will see more registrants, particularly during the holidays
Don't know if I mentioned this before, but the Executive Producer (Banyan Productions), Chris Emmanoulides, told me that they had pushed to expand our episode to 1 hour. He thought is was one of their best shows! I knew that, ha ha. I also heard a rumor that our show was being nominated for a Cable TV award in the category of "Best Reunion Show Featuring a School Destroyed by a Volcano." Ha ha. Wouldn't that be something!?!
