The fun of going to a high school reunion.....It's seeing people you were close to all those years and visiting about the past!
The 1960's have many memories for all of us. The older we get, the more we treasure those years and all the friends that were made during high school. Life was simple. A gallon of gas was only 31 cents, a postage stamp 5 cents and a London Inn or Henry's hamburger 15 cents! We have some GREAT events planned for our 50th reunion on September 11+ 12, 2015.
THURSDAY evening: The festivities will begin (September 10) for local classmates and those who come early. We have a room reserved at the Pickwick. A limited menu will be available. Come enjoy live music, visit, and see how many classmates you recognize. Time is from 7:00 to 10:00.
FRIDAY....Lunch for 'The Girls' at Tavern On The Hill at 1pm. Please email Linda Thoreson Forsberg if you are coming. ...jmflstf67@mac.com. It is located at 1102 Woodland Ave, Close to where Woodland Jr once was.
