We are booked for our 55-Year BHS '72 Class Reunion!

Save the Date; Plan on Attending!!

Dear BHS 1972 Classmates--The Big Wheels have made it happen. We are now booked for our soon-to-be epic 55-year BHS '72 Reunion.

The date of the reunion is August 6, 2027. The location is at the long-tried and tested Long Beach Recreation Park Golf 18 Clubhouse--the same site of our successful mingle at our 50th Reunion back in 2022. The time is from 5pm til 10pm.

WIth selfless, heroic efforts and incomparable generosity, the Big Wheels have negotiated a $10 per person charge for a wonderful evening of delectable/succulent eats, enchanting/spellbinding conversation, toe-tapping music and a deeply discounted cash bar for quality adult beverages. The event is priced for maximum turnout.

We all have plenty of time (16+ months) to plan on attending on that date, getting there, and working out any obstacle(s)/excuses/questionable reasons that would keep any of our classmates from being with us all. Given our maturity and the passage of time, we have a statistical probability of having very few opportunities left to celebrate like this with the greatest BHS classmates of all time. 

We will continue to keep you posted on more details regarding this epic event and how to register for it as the 55-year reunion plans fully firm up.

We thank each of you for being so special to all of us. Regardless of how BHS went for you--good, bad or indifferent--you are all beloved members of our special class and we would love to see every one of you  there at our 55th. 

All our best for the time being. We are the Big Wheels--Mara, Kerry, Barb and Daryl--looking out for every one of you, our amazing classmates!

Time until our 55-Year BHS '72 Reunion

Our Epic 50-Year BHS '72 Reunion Was Amazing!! 

Our BHS '72 50-Year Reunion was held over 2 days--Friday, August 26 and Saturday, August 27 in 2022. We had two official events for all classmates:

** The first event was a casual mingle / get-together on Friday night, August 26, 2022, from 6pm to 11pm at the Spanish-style, two-story Recreation Park clubhouse in Long Beach, CA, at 5001 Deukmejian Drive. There were awesome hors 'd ouerves and beverages, live music (2 live bands as background music) and lots of warm greetings and fun.

** The second event was an even nicer dinner, program, silent auction and dance (with an amazing 5-piece dance band) on Saturday night, August 27, 2022, also from 6pm to 11pm, at The Mayne Events Center in Bellflower, CA, at 16400 Bellflower Blvd., just south of the railroad tracks on Bellflower Blvd. It is a great 2-story banquet and meeting space with an attached Los Angeles County Fire Museum with vintage fire trucks on display. The Mayne Events Center has been the chosen venue of the BHS classes of 1969, 1979 and 1971 for their 50-Year reunions as well. 

We held a 3rd optional 9-hole golf event for 25 classmates on Friday afternoon August 26, 2022, and also had some practice swings at 11am, a Noon lunch and tee times set after the lunch. This is a fun event we first held at our 40-year reunion and was back by popular demand for our 50-year reunion. This event was fedor those classmates who want to play some golf or those who have always wanted to try golf in the easiest way to ever do so -- a best ball scramble format. We all had a great time whether one golfed well or not.

When the dust settled on our fundraising efforts, our class, with Harry at the helm and with contributions from so many of you, raised $30,000.00 for our alma mater, Bellflower High School.

 Some say our 50th was our last reunion--and it was the last of its kind, and it was epic, as promised. The pent up energy we all had to get out and celebrate and reacquaint with each other was added excitement for sure. We had/have a most special class and we we had  a most special reunion. We hope to see every one of you at our scaled down 55-Year Reunion some time in August, 2027 as you are a huge part of the BHS Class of 1972 and will be warmly welcomed by all in attendance.

Thanks so much on behalf of our big cheeses--Mara, Kerry, Barb and Daryl.
