Dear LFTP: the 50th reunion treasurer

• 280 of 550 classmates have not responded to reunion invitations: should the treasurer keep chasing them?

A listener, treasurer of a 550-person class's 50th reunion, is frustrated that 280 classmates haven't responded to emails. The hosts say the bar is too high (a quarter may be dead, they're nearly 70), then read the 'Secular says' answer: only plan for confirmed RSVPs and buy plates for those coming.
