One can see the latest issue of the Tiger Tales for information on reunions.
We will be having a record number of reunions this coming Blossom. 17 Classes will be gathering to share memories and rekindle friendships. They are 1971, 1972, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2011, 2012, & 2017. The reunions don’t end at Blossom. The Class of 1962 will gather in August and the Class of 1970 will come together in October. The Class of 1977 will be kicking off their 45 plus 1 in 2023 and we expect many of the classes that end in a 3 or 8 to also be having festivities a year from now.
The Class of ‘61 held their 60 year reunion this past September. It turned into a smaller gathering of primarily “locals” due to the pandemic. Thanks to the couples that made the trip in. Special thanks to Karin Knutsen, Linda Kreycik Phillips, and Betty Magyar Burbach for supplying the food and Parlin and Bill Meyer for supplying the drinks and the venue. They ate, they drank, but…mostly they talked. They were able to zoom with several classmates that could not be in attendance. Although the numbers were lower, classmates still found it enjoyable to reconnect. Celebrate 65 in 26???
