June 16 & 17, 2012 the Class of 1962 had their
50 year class Reunion. The hot hot weather did not stop classmates from attending the All Class Reunion at the Fairgrounds Saturday. We were able to reunite with many different classes and rekindle the good old days.
Our reunion was held
Saturday evening at the lovely home of Frankie & Linda Williams. Surrounded with our school colors of green and gold and a beautiful yard and home, fun was had by all.
38 alumni, spouses and friends attended. Jena Marshall (and her servers) catered our dinner. Jena outdid herself.
Jim Croll created the fliers, invitations and
memorabilia for each class mate. Jim & Betsy (McNally) Croll, Barbara (Smith) Schouten and Trent Williams were the committee members.
Those who attended were: Trent Williams, Frankie & Linda Williams, Barbara (Smith)
Schouten, Jim & Betsy (McNally) Croll, Bobby & Artie Ball, Terry Bird, Dennis Bunning, Kirk & Jeanne Crum , Carol
(Dewhurst) Martin and Mike Tanner, Sandy & Bill (Foley) Sommers, Joanne (Johnson) Warnes and friend, Richard & Sallee Lang, Tim & Sandi Meagher, Gary & Denise Preston, Clair & Darlene Peterson,
Doug & Diane (Phillips) Kanarowski, Nancy (Remington) Billings, Richard & Pat
(Stoel) Hill and grandson, John & Rosie Upton, Len and Marva (Worley) McWilliams, Ralph & Pat (Kirk)
Wass.
Those who came the longest
distance were Bobby & Artie Ball from Neosho MO, Kirk & Jeanne Crum from Idaho, followed by Len & Marva (Worley) McWilliams.
We missed those
who were not able to attend: Rick Ponte,
John Shimer, Terry Steeley, Lonnie Joe Cook, Mary Jane Scroggins, Jimmy
Rust, Joe Erlie, Bruce Fladmark and Roxie Sheverland.
Our precious Room Mother Pearl Williams at the age of 95 was unable to attend but her heart was with us all.
Sunday most everyone went to the Miners Inn for a wonderful
brunch.
The photos below
are just a small part of the pictures, video and memories that will be in our hearts forever.
