UPDATE - May 1, 2022 - The twice-postponed 2020 Reunion is happening August 4-7, 2022! Registration is now open for events on the 4th and 5th. The Reunion Information page (link in menu at left) has details.



Logo for 50-year Reunion UPDATE - January 31, 2020 - Planning for the 50-year reunion is underway.

We want to gather as much contact information (especially email addresses, but phone and postal, too) for our classmates as possible. Facebook pages are also helpful.

The "Classmate & Contact Info" page (see menu at left) has a list of classmates with an icon showing if we have an email for that classmate. The "Missing Classmates" page (see menu at left) lists people for whom we have neither an email nor a postal address. Both pages are updated weekly.

Please send any missing info to Sherrie (Hansen) Kunkel & Deb (Johnson) Smith.

The "Departed Classmates" page has many new entries added since 2010. We are up to 67 classmates who have passed away.

The "Reunion Information" page (again, see menu at left) has current 50-year reunion details. More details are added as decisions are made.
