Class of 1966; It looks like we have three diffent Irvin Reunions coming up this year that we can attend.  Please see information below:

Reunion # 1

Class of 1968 and Classes from the 1960's

Back in June 2019 several of us attended a Mini-Reunion in Houston. Gary and Mary McGarr were kind enough to host the event at their home.

Well……………………we feel it is time for another Mini and we want to let you know of our plans and gauge your interest in attending.

Our Mini Reunion event will be held Saturday, September 14th in Houston. Alan and Gayle will host the event at their home in Cypress (Bridgeland), 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

More details will follow depending on the number interested in attending. Please note that we need to know the total number of attendees by June 1, 2024. You can reply/respond to the names and numbers below.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to catch up with classmates and friends. And we want to invite everyone from all classes who attended Irvin in the 1960s.

Wow, 56 years since we graduated, and September is a great month to hold a Mini. If you recall, school used to start in September, after Labor Day.
