Wrapping up the 50th reunion with this post to call out some thank yous, and to provide links to photos and additional information that may interest you.
Thank you to the reunion committee for putting the whole weekend together. The team met every month from May of 2025 through August of 2026 and worked hard to find the right venue, pick the food and drinks, prepare the nametags, create the picture slide show, gather questionnaires and ephemera, assemble all of the picture boards, create the beautiful flower arrangements for the tables, copy filkes to the thumb drives, and so much more. Using maiden names that we knew in high school, thanks go to Marianne Laurent, Barb Paulson, Kathryn Vork, Laurie Hunt, Jim Pohtilla, Toni Henke, Jane Gustafson, Pat O’Brien, Lee Eckman, Deb Hagman, Debra Wamsley, Connie Hart, LeAnn Smith, Dan LaMere, and David Boline. Great job everyone!!
We’d also like to thank Jim MacLachlan for creating the amazing art for our reunion. Jim did the word cloud for our 35th reunion as well! You rock!
