If you were undergraduate at Hopkins (Class of ‘68), you were with Bruce Fye, Mike Borzy, Jack Hayford…..?
Welcome to our website, Larry! We are glad you joined us. We hope you are enjoying our site and hope you’ll be able to reconnect with some of our classmates. I was born in Montana and have always loved that state. What an impressive career you’ve had in medicine! Hopefully, you’ll join us in September for our 60th reunion.

hello to everyone. For those who lived in Morningside, FYI that Steve Riley died about a week ago at age 77. The Rileys lived on Lynn Avenue, I believe, and they moved to Wayzata before he graduated.

Sixty years ago today, we were all in class when the loudspeaker came on with news of the shooting of President Kennedy. I remember how stunned I was and frightened about what this meant for the future of our country. I remember being angry with Mr Bechtle still making us take our vocabulary test - who could concentrate??!! What are your memories of that fateful day?
Hi, Tom
Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving!
Will try to connect with you next time we are in Austin!

Happy Birthday!
I just love the pictures of Bill with his family! He was such a wonderful man! And I also enjoyed the shot of the 3 hockey friends. It's so sad to keep losing members of our class.
Sadly, Bill Lord passed away September 19th. Our thoughts are with Carol and their family.
Sadly, we received the news of the loss of another classmate. John Berg passed away on August 7th. He has been added to In Memory. Our condolences to his family and friends.
