Rick Bamman Presents...

We’re beyond thrilled to have Rick’s Photography—yes, the legendary Viking Logue’s, Prologue and Valhallan's own Rick Bamman—on hand to capture every unforgettable (and mildly embarrassing) moment at our golf outing!
Whether it's breathtaking scenic shots, triumphant tee-offs, or accidental sand-swimming and unexpected lake baptisms, Rick will be there to document it all in high-resolution glory.

So go ahead—strike a pose, flaunt that “perfect” swing, and maybe even challenge Rick to find at least one straight shot among the chaos. (No promises. He’s a photojournalist, not a miracle worker.) Check out his work at hrickbamman.com

WILLIAM FREMD CO'75 50TH CLASS REUNION - WE MADE IT!

Save the Date - August 22nd - 24th!

Hey Fellow CO’75rs!

No doubt growing up in our era, along with our shared past, helped shape our futures.  Fifty years is a daunting number, but I refuse to put an age on the reflection in my mirror!   Never should it hold us back from expressing that youthful spirit inside, of a life-time ago!  Let’s not pass up an opportunity to mark this milestone, by reconnecting with past friendships and memories!     

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on reunion preferences.  After reading so many of your responses, most preferred holding our 50^th over Palatine Street Fest weekend, which is Friday, August 22^nd – 24^th.  There are many advantages to holding our reunion over this weekend.   Their planning committee spares no expense in bringing the best talent/music and cuisine to Street Fest – great throwback bands, too!  Year after year, many Fremd and Palatine alum of all classes return to Palatine to reconnect at this festival.

You will find updated reunion, golf tournament and hotel/restaurant information on the '50th Year Reunion' link.  We will continue to update with more details as they become available.

Hope to see you all there!

"WISHING YOU WERE HERE" link - updated 9/19/2023

This page of our site is particularly near and dear to our hearts, as it pays tribute to many exceptional individuals we've lost over the years.  Thanks to those who have contributed and continue to contribute information, pictures and/or articles on these classmates.  The committee is continually searching for any information on these classmates, teachers and school staff to honor their lives, however, we are having difficulty locating information on some.  The families may also like to know that we have dedicated a page in their memory on our site, and that they are not forgotten.  We do our best in confirming the information we receive.
