WILLIAM FREMD CO'75 50TH CLASS REUNION - WE MADE IT!

Save the Date - August 22nd - 24th!

Hey Fellow CO’75rs!

No doubt growing up in our era, along with our shared past, helped shape our futures.  Fifty years is a daunting number, but I refuse to put an age on the reflection in my mirror!   Never should it hold us back from expressing that youthful spirit inside, of a life-time ago!  Let’s not pass up an opportunity to mark this milestone, by reconnecting with past friendships and memories!     

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on reunion preferences.  After reading so many of your responses, most preferred holding our 50th over Palatine Street Fest weekend, which is Friday, August 22nd – 24th.  There are many advantages to holding our reunion over this weekend.   Their planning committee spares no expense in bringing the best talent/music and cuisine to Street Fest – great throwback bands, too!  Year after year, many Fremd and Palatine alum of all classes return to Palatine to reconnect at this festival.

You will find updated reunion, golf tournament and hotel/restaurant information on the '50th Year Reunion' link.  We will continue to update with more details as they become available.

Hope to see you all there!

"WISHING YOU WERE HERE" link updated 9/19/2023

This page of our site is particularly near and dear to our hearts, as it pays tribute to many exceptional individuals we've lost over the years.  Thanks to those who have contributed and continue to contribute informationpictures and/or articles on these classmates.  The committee is continually searching for any information on these classmates, teachers and school staff to honor their lives, however, we are having difficulty locating information on some.  The families may also like to know that we have dedicated a page in their memory on our site, and that they are not forgotten.  We do our best in confirming the information we receive.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

To the incredible Fremd Class of 1975,
What a weekend! From teeing off at the golf outing to reminiscing at Lamplighters and dancing through Street Fest, it was truly unforgettable. Seeing so many familiar faces, sharing stories, and reconnecting after all these years reminded us just how special this class really is.
We want to extend our deepest thanks to each and every one of you who joined us. Your presence brought the energy, the laughter, and the love that made this reunion shine.
🙏 Special thanks to our amazing volunteers — your behind-the-scenes work made everything run smoothly, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
💚 And to our generous donors — your contributions helped bring this vision to life. From signage to snacks, every detail was made possible by your support.
Let’s keep the spirit alive. Whether it’s another gathering down the road or just staying in touch, the Class of ’75 continues to prove that some bonds only grow stronger with time.
With gratitude and Viking pride,
Your Reunion Committee

Hopefully all of you have either made it home safely, or are safely on your way!  

You could feel the gratitude for friendship and the positive energy the entire weekend!  It was as if 50 years in between, never happened and picked up where we left off.  THAT is special!  To the classmates who couldn't make the reunion, you were missed!  

To all of you who were brave enough to get up on stage and share your H.S. stories, you are our hero, and provided us with a good hour of laughter.  Mitch... we should have given you the $900 we paid the DJ for entertainment!

HRick Bamman camptured some fantastic moments this weekend and is currentlly uploading them to the site.  Thus far he has uploaded at least 190 photo's!  You too, can add your own photo's to any of the three gallery pages:  Richard Sharpe Mem. Golf Outing / Friday Night at Lamps / Saturday on the Towne Square.  The gallery's are located on each event link, same format as our 40th.

Here's to health and happiness, until we meet again...

KAREN HUNTER AND MITCH GULLETT - UNSTOPPABLE ENERGY!

Thank you to those who donated, post-reunion.  We have reconciled w/ a little bit of $$ left over.  Thought it would be of good use to keep our class website ad-free.  We paid some $$ prior to the reunion to remain ad-free during the reunion.   We can now renew shortly.

It would be great if we could keep up with our profiles w/ updated photos of significant others, kids, grandchildren, friends, pets, vacations, ... any and all of it!  

There has been talk of alumni working on a Fremd 70th anniversay, reunion, in the Fall of 2026.  Something to think about!  

PLEASE SHARE ANY PICS YOU TOOK AT THE REUNION!  We would all love to see them!  It is easy to add them to each of the events.  If you have any issues, just send a message to HRick Bamman, right HRick? lol 

... until we meet again
