20 YEAR REUNION


The 20 year reunion was a rousing success. Thanks to all those who helped. As we get more pictures, we will post them, visit this site often.

The pre-party took place at Dockside (Hamm's Harbor) and went well past most bedtimes!!

A fine meal was served at Arrowhead Country Club complete with video music entertainment. Cocktails started at 6pm and essentially did not stop!! Participants from as far away as Japan attended, and many contributed to "What I've learned in the past 20 years", and who has changed the least/most, both of which you can see below. Both nights included a memorium to our missing classmates (Gregg/Charlie/Darby).

The parties were followed up Sunday by a picnic in Chillicothe to meet the offspring!!

All those in attendance have been heard:

Least Changed: Jackie Anthony-Simmerman
Most Changed: Tony Lake
