We hope you have received the Save the Date postcard for our 55th class Reunion and plan to join us on campus September 12-14. There will be planned tours, guest speakers, and a dinner on Thursday. Our class meeting, luncheon, tours, and a class dinner are scheduled for Friday. Pre-football game activities and then a football game are Saturday’s events. Throughout the Reunion there will be plenty of time to reconnect with classmates. Many classmates who attended the 50th Reunion have remarked that they enjoyed seeing fellow classmates and enjoyed seeing the changes on campus.

Earlier in retirement, they had explored 47 states throughout the USA. Since the pandemic, Lorna has traveled to Austria, Greece, and Turkey. She wrote that her eight-year-old granddaughter keeps her active and young at heart.
