The reunion was Saturday, August 9. Activities started at Lincoln Brick Park at 1:00 p.m. This was an informal time to get re-acquainted with fellow classmates and renew old friendships. We had a pretty good showing of over 45 alumni, spouses, and children. Some people came REALLY late (Mark Fenstemaker...) and some nearly weren't able to leave (Steve Mitchell...)

Our evening activities began with a social hour at 6:00 p.m. at the Lansing Holiday Inn West. A buffet dinner was served at 7:00 p.m. with music, dancing and fellowship throughout the evening. We put out 6 one-time cameras to document the evening. Some of the shots will be posted on the reunion page. A real good time was had by all (some 85-90 people)..

Our long distance "winners" were:
Janet Romig Hale from Georgia
Dan Balluff from Idaho
Pete Wiseman from California
Cyndi Michael Vann from California
