For the class of 1951's reunion #60, they came together at the Legion hall with food being prepared and set up by the Legion Auxiliary, excellent food and presentation.

The evening brought together 14 class members and friends. They shared in memories and the past 10 year's experiences with a poem reading which sent them all into uncontrolled laughter. The poem was offered by Louise FROST.

Coming together as friends who have been through a lot, always brings them closer together. These are lifelong relationships which Carlton GREENMAN is sure will continue for the rest of their lives. After all the food and memories, the evening was topped off by consuming a beautiful and large cake, provided by Christi MILLER, daughter of Sallie DUFTY MILLER.

Everyone left the evening looking forward to their next gathering, wherever and whenever it will be.

Others whom they could not have done without are Glea ANDREWS and many others.
