There's an old Dolly Parton song with the lyric that says "You can't make old friends...". So true! How blessed we are to have friendships that have endured all these years.

Reunion Quilt Raffles

Our talented classmate, Gerald "Gary" Andress, created and generously donated two quilts for our upcoming reunion. These photos don't do them justice so come see them in person! We will be selling raffle tickets for the quilts at the August reunion.

 Website Security

Whenever an email change or a password change is requested, I now will ask you to answer several questions so I can verify the request actually originated from a classmate. Please do not be offended by this extra step to try to maintain the security of our website and keep scammers out.
