The Sexagenarian 46 Year Reunion isn't 

 a significant number, but why wait until the 'BIG 50'?

Reunions aren't about...

Waistlines, Hairlines, or Credit lines
They're about Lifelines
It's about reconnecting with our friends from some of the best years of our lives...
It's about caring for our classmates, teachers and their families - our families!
- Remember -
We're not getting older...We're becoming a classic!
Make plans to reconnect with someone today,

you'll be glad you did!

Life is fleeting...

You Know You Are Getting Old When:

or

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you,

who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,

sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."

We give the ClassCreator Web Site and team members many plugs due to their

outstanding service,

response, support and communicating system all in one place.

You can't get that from any other web site!

There are no other social networking systems like this

on the internet used specifically for communicating for all sorts of reunions:

e.g.: Military, Class, Medical, College, Family, High School, Jr. High School   

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter Snapchat etc. don't hold water compared

to the bells and whistles on the 'ClassCreator site

There are no fees and we don't phish you in, like:

'Classreunions', 'Alumniclass' etc.

to join and come to find out that you can't do anything unless you pay a fee

and
