MULTI-SCHOOL REUNION

It has come to my attention that a multi-school reunion is being planned. While I am not personally making any arrangements to include Milne alumni, there may be some of you who are interested in attending. Here's the information:

CLASS CONTACTS

Please check the Class Contact page here and provide updates and/or corrections.

CLASS REUNION PLANNING AND RECAPS

We have discussed this before, but it would be wonderful if class representatives would share their class-reunion plans and then a recap of their respective reunions to use on our "Class-Reunion Planning" and "Class Reunion Websites and Other Links" links on our website. That would provide ideas for future class-reunion planning so that classes don't have to "reinvent the wheel." Currently those pages aren't up to date and contain no-longer-working links, so if information you have posted is now out of date or you can provide new reunion information, please let me know.

FROM FRED BASS, '59

"Well, Jan and I finally took the step of selling our house and 'downsizing' to an apartment. Moving from 3,000 sq.ft. to 1,450 was interesting, to say the least. New apartment has K, LR, DR, computer area, 2 BR, 2 BA, and large one-car garage. Trying to rent another garage for second car and overflow...

"Still trying to eliminate some of the 'stuff' accumulated over 57+ years of married life and 22 years in the last house. Many trips to Salvation Army, ReStore, and dump. Also donations (4 boxes!) of books to the local library. And multiple artworks to children, grandchildren, and brother-in-law. Still have stacks of pictures in the spare room and under our bed…

"Looking forward to being able to travel again (we have 4 cruises booked)…

"Hope all is well with former classmates and friends. Stay safe…"
