This is a copy of an email I sent out tonight. If I don't have your email address, you didn't get a copy. I am posting in case someone logs on and sees it. We'd be happy for everybody to attend this 55th reunion!

That felt good typing Good News for a change. It's reunion time - 55 year celebration of our graduation! 

The reunion committee met this past Saturday and here is what we have so far -first, mark your calendars for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 25-26, 2026. It is Chautaugua weekend, so make lodging reservations early.

9/25 - Friday night; Meet and Greet at the Broadway Fountain at 6:00, which has turned into a well-attended event. After visiting, you are encouraged to travel up to Harry's for your evening meal and to continue visiting. We will have a banquet room reserved so we can all sit together.

9/26 - Saturday morning - Not official yet, and no details yet, but pretty sure we are going to set up a golf outing.

9/26- Saturday night will be our main event at the Moose;

5:00-6:00 Sign in and Happy Hour

6-7 Meal

7-10 music, entertainment, more visiting.

I'll send out more details as they are available such as costs, how to register, and the such. Also Diana Ison Dryden has a Facebook page set up to help spread the word "MCHS Class of 71 - 55th Class Reunion - Madison In". 

So far we have had a lot of interest and positive feedback of who is coming and we are making as many contacts as possible. The best way to help spread the word is the Class of 71 itself. If you see someone tell them - invite them - save my phone number in your phone and pass it around if you have someone interested (618-554-5620) and I'd be happy to give them details. I don't answer my phone because of spam, but return calls and texts quickly. We'd love to have a large attendance once again - the more the merrier!!

Later - Don Bickers
