6/8/2022 65 Years Reunion Update: 

Dennis has received checks from several classmates and relatives of classmates!

Also, just to let you know, we mailed 293 postcard invites. Of those, 19 were returned for incorrect address or persons unknown. Not too bad. Of the 19, sadly, four were found to be deceased. They have been added to the 'In Memory' page. We're trying to contact the other 15, and have found a couple so far. Still trying.

We don't know how many classmates visit our website. 74 classmates have joined or registered, 243 have not.

WE MAILED POST CARD INVITE TO ALL KNOWN CLASSMATES ADDRESSES

IF YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE THE POSTCARD, HERE IT IS
