Dianna Platz-Smith
Today, our St.Francis High School Classmate, Dianna Platz-Smith, passed away following a stroke. She had been at home with her daughter, Karie, in hospice care, for just a week following the event, which had sent her to the hospital,. There is no plan for a funeral, as Dianna did not want that. A visit to her class page photos here may bring you a smile or two. She would most likely have enjoyed knowing you were checking in on her.... A Sad Loss for us all....Rest in Peace, Dear Friend....

Maybe you have noticed the ads on our site now.... I have mostly been paying for our class site myself, as it was easier than collecting money from the class. Our discount for 3 years has run out now, and it's expensive, so I took the option of allowing ads on the site, which gives us the site free.. We can always go back to paying, to remove the ads, but the ads are minimal, so it seems OK to do this now.
.. If you didn't look at our photo gallery earlier this year, you can look now... We can thank Roni for putting in photos from the All-Class Reunion in August, 2022, and from our Sept '22 Lunch at Hidden Haven. Thanks to Ginger and Roni for planning that lunch gathering in September and for the future gatherings at Hidden Haven, Class Lunch in September of '23 and 60th Class Reunion in Sept of '24...
Ha... I almost had to Count on my Fingers to Believe that ...60 Years since Graduation...!
I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving... and will enjoy Happy Holidays ahead...
