Regarding our 60th reunion, here is the text of a letter that was emailed (or snail mailed if your email address was unknown) to us in September.
-----
Greetings to the MCHS Class of 1961 Classmates!
We are the “Committee” working together to organize our next Class of ’61 Reunion and we need to hear from you, especially if you are interested in joining our planning committee. Currently, our planning committee members include Sue Whorley Frelund, Georgia Froning Holm, Robert C. Miller, Carolyn Mott, Gary Mott, Tom Wilson and Martha Dunbar Zuke. Would you volunteer to join the committee help us plan a GREAT REUNION?
WE NEED GOOD IDEA PEOPLE AND WE NEED PLANNING FEEDBACK FROM EVERYONE TO SET UP A FUN EVENT!
This past spring, we surveyed members of our class via our MCHS Class of ’61 web page, asking whether you preferred to hold our 60th reunion in 2021 or 2022. Given that the COVID-19 virus was still a major threat, the consensus was to hold the 61st reunion of the Class of ’61 next year, in 2022.
We have settled on the Reunion Dates and venues:
Friday Evening, September 16, 2022 at The Sports Page, 100 South Federal Avenue, Mason City, Iowa 50401
Saturday Evening, September 17, 2022 at Prime N’ Wine, 3000 4th Street SW, Mason City, Iowa 50401
Sunday Morning, September 18, 2022 at Prime N’ Wine, 3000 4th Street SW, Mason City, Iowa 50401
We have confirmed these dates with the two restaurants. The dates are in sync with the dates of our previous reunions. We have selected the venues based on their quality, their pricing and ample off-street parking.
Our next tasks will be to determine who is planning to attend the reunion, establish reasonable pricing and set the agendas for each gathering. We also sincerely need your suggestions for what you want and do not want to experience. Our goal is to have fun, meet “old” friends and create great memories. Please help us by letting us know what would be the most fun for you!

If you just want to talk to a class member about your ideas, call Tom Wilson at 651-775-6003. If you happen to get a voice mail greeting, be sure to leave all pertinent information in your message. He will call you back.
As of September 1, 2021, we have lost nearly 100 members of our class. Not a single one of us is getting younger. Implication: We’re not sure whether or when there might be any future MCHS Class of ’61 Reunions, so be sure to get to this one. We are really looking forward to catching up!
SAVE THE DATES!
PLEASE SET YOUR CALENDAR DATES FOR SEPTEMBER 16-18, 2022!
SEARCHING FOR LOST SOULS
Hey! We’re still searching for contact info for a few classmates. If you know the whereabouts of any of these classmates, please let us know. Thanks!
