CLASS OF 1960 FIFTY-YEAR REUNION

Well, we did it! We celebrated the 50 years since graduating from high school, and all our accomplishments since then! When you read through the book put together by the Reunion Committee, you learn what our classmates have been up to since 1960, and cannot help but be impressed by all the accomplishments and by the way we all seem to have grown up okay and survived in a world that has seen more changes in our lifetime than in any other era. We have survived all that life has thrown at us, and in many cases that has been a lot!
