Reunions
Here you will find information for upcoming reunions and photos of
past reunions.
Reunion Information
Regarding our 50th Class Reunion:
To see the photo of our classmates who attended on Saturday night
who were willing to be photographed for the group photo click here.
Remember to click on the back button on your browser because that takes
you directly to the file, not to another page. The original photo was
blurry so I edited the photo and took some privileges and added some
fifties images and a new banner. I actually edited the photo several
times. My son said to rework it again and I did.
Our colors were the traditional maroon and gold. The table decorations
were reminiscent of the corsages we wore to the football games. Dot
and Myrna did a great job finding the right flowers for that.
Old friendships from as far back as grade school have been rekindled
from our 50th reunion. That was one goal I had hoped for.
Please note: I no longer make the DVD, sorry.
This is what Brooks Porter posted in the guestbook in my personal
website which is the site marked on the DVD since I created the DVD.
Carolyn's Guestbook
"Comments: I wanted to thank you for the wonderful DVD that you prepared
for our class of 1958's 50th class reunion. And the list you sent
identifiying the various photos was great.
I would recommend that any of you that either didn't get to attend our
50th, or didn't give Carolyn your name, address, (and a check for mailing
cost) do so. You will love the hundreds of photos she's collected.
A side note, the cover you made for the DVD case from year book photos
was clever.
Brooks Porter"
I scanned a photo of Brooks shooting a basket from a photo of a basketball
game in our yearbook. The other photo was a different photo in uniform.
Each DVD case photo insert is personalized on photo paper.
