You guys are great! I love the idea of a "50th" Birthday Bash and a 35 year reunion rather than waiting until 40, 2019 really does seem like a long way off. I would also like to apologize I have been a little remiss in updating some requests that I have had. I have added both John and Sandy Lommen to the 'In Memory' page. Kim if you or anyone else has more details I can add that to Sandy. Hope everyone is having a wonderful fall! Keep in touch!

Rae Ann Hanson Hey Jim One of my friends was on RR's committee I'll check and see if they have had any conversation on 35 instead of waiting for the 40.

Ray Quesnell Hay guys, If you give Diane and I 5 years notice I think there is a good possibility that we will be there. Under 5 years notice and it is highly unlikely, just kidding. RAY

If anyone would like to help with the benefit, please call me--218-791-7336. I will keep you posted through this site, or if you facebook, let me know as I will post through there as well. Keep Julie in your prayers!!

Hey Rae Ann, a 35 year reunion sounds good. Glad to be heard! :) A 50 party would be cool too. For us "out of towners", as much notice as possible would be appreciated. I'm also on the RR website as a guest, and I'll look on their message forum to see if it's been discussed and will report back.

Rhonda, I'm terribly sorry to hear that about Julie, and my thoughts and prayers are with her during this difficult time. I looked for you both on FB and didn't see either of you. Next time you're on, look me up under - James P Sonne. Please do pass on my best wishes when you can.

Rae Ann & fellow classmates, I did check out the RR message forum, and there was quite a bit of discussion similar to ours about not waiting for a 40, and initiating a 35 year reunion or something sooner. They too seemed to be anxious to re-connect sooner rather than later. I think it's probably the norm that reunions happen every 5 years at a certain point (though I don't know this for fact) And..... Rae Ann since you did such a fab job on coordinating this one, and are looking for something to fill in your time........ :)

Signed,

Feeling Left Out In Maryland

Eric Tweton A 35 year reunion sounds great. I only found out about the 30th about a month before the event and I live in Grand Forks. Let me know if you need any help.

Rae Ann Hanson Again you guys are great! We'll see what we can do to get things moving for confirming a 35 year reunion. I guess someone needs to make a decision. Probably a group of someones that would like to be on the committee. I will say it wasn't real time consuming and lots of fun. I'm game (again)!

Had a great time at the reunion! It was good to see everybody. It was such a good idea to have both high schools together as I lived right on the line, having gone to South Junior, but having many friends from Red River.

I travel back to GF to see my dad often. It always feels good to drive by the schools and relive the memories, but it meant so much more this time to have been able to see and talk to those people I made all those memories with.

I don't think we should wait 'til the 40th, waiting 10 more years to see everyone again is just too long!

Rae Ann, As I become better with the computer, I will be ready to help out with the next project. PS Say "hi" to Rob. I will send him an email since I need the practice. Pete

Happy New Year everybody! Finally getting on the computer on a day off from work. With three kids playing hockey I don't have much "free" time. Wished I could've been at the reunion but would love to go to the next one. 35 year reunion or "50th" would be great. We can't be 50 yet, can we??!!! Where have the years gone? I remember it like yesterday walking the halls of Central. Good years for me. I get back to GF sometimes to visit family. Gonna try to give some of you a call when I'm in town and have some time to visit. Take care, have a great day! Kim (Kroeber) Buchholz

John DeMontigny Finally got the pictures posted, although not many. Can someone identify the person standing next to JB? Also, any more thought about a 50th b-day get together? Some of us old timers are curious.

Dave Aamot I would like us to continue with the web site and would be willing to help with the costs. What about doing some type of fund raiser. Would be a great opportunity to get together and any extra can go into the account for an even bigger bash in 5 years! Beers to y'all..

Jim Sonne Dave, I agree with you 100%. In the spirit of keeping this site alive, please write a check for $5,000, made payable to me, and I will see that it gets put to good use and oh yea the website too. Let me know if you would prefer to have it directly deposited into my bank account...

Any suggestions for date for a 50th birthday party for us next summer (2011) sometime, that way depending on the date most all of us will have turned over to the big 5-0! I think we should keep this simple, find a location that has a private room that if we order food and beverage that won't cost us much or no fee! Those that can make it send an email to a specific person so we have a number and everyone pays for their own. Maybe add a cake into the mix for the party feeling, what do you all think?

Well once again I thoroughly enjoyed seeing just another typical moment in history like all the rest as the Grand Forks Central Skins "Crushed" the RR Rats 8 to 1 in Hockey tonight!! Grand Forks Central was missing 3 players due to injuries, brought up some JV and the rest again is history! I'm not sure if anyone will be able to see this blog as it appears as though the web site has expired. However I couldn't think of a better way to at least and hopefully get this information out to all of you. Somethings just never change. I can only hope that some how this blog will also get to long time Friend/Lake Mermaid and former RR Rat Lori Edwards.... Ha! Cheer's to any and all who will have the pleasure of reading this.

State Hockey Tournament will be soon arriving in the 3rd week in February. This would be a great opportunity for any of us in the area to get together, as well as anyone who is able to travel in as well. Would be fun to see some games, hang out and of course go to the Red Pepper afterwords......................................................
