60th Reunion 2017

  What a great 60th Class Reunion!

Joe and Judy Hartman hosted the Friday night gathering.

Their house was full of people and there were classmates talking on their patio plus others sitting around a fireplace in the barn.

Many met for lunch at Carmie's on Saturday.

And on Saturday evening, the dinner was held at AmVet's.

A big Thank You to Don and Clarice Kimmel for this and the beautiful fresh flower centerpieces.

Maria Wahl stood on the roof and took pictures of classmates 

followed by a memorial service for classmates who have died and in their memory, releasing balloons into the sky .

Lucy Lather updated a class booklet and did a wonderful job of including a high school picture and current picture of classmates.

It was decided that instead of waiting 5 years for a 65th Reunion, we will get together again in 3 years!!!!

   To wrap up the 60th reunion festivities, a Farewell Brunch was held at T.J.Willies on Sunday morning.

All in all, there were smiling faces all weekend.
