Calling All ’69 Classmates!

A committee of our classmates will be reaching out to everyone by phone to share information about the Reunion and to invite your feedback about what we are planning and who is planning to attend. Here are lists of those planning to attend, not sure, and not planning to attend.

Do you want to help call classmates or share your plans now? Contact Bruce Strom, our Outreach Chair.

Share who you’d like to see at Reunion for our next class letter. Write to Class Agent Murry Nelson.
