I thought this information may be of interest of some of our classmates. The mother of our classmate, Greg Long, recently passed away.
Elizabeth Dunn, passed away on November 9, 2024 at the age of 100
A fellow teacher shared:
I believe we both came to Edina the same year in 1968. She was a recent widow then with two young children. She was Betty Long until she remarried Jack Dunn. She taught at Cahill and Creek Valley. She lived independently at least until a year ago when I last visited her. Betty's outlook on life was always upbeat and she had a great sense of humor. Her daughter Barb Nichols also worked for Edina Schools and her son was very accomplished.

Their mom lived to 100 and spent her career teaching in Edina elementary schools.

Thank you for your generous donations!

Following our 60th reunion, thanks to the generosity of many of our classmates who made donations, we were able to cover all of our expenses and have a remainder of $365 in our account. In addition, our website is funded until 3/20/26. Thank you classmates for your wonderful response!

A $75 gift to Habitat for Humanity was made in memory of our classmate, Frank Lushine, who intended on joining us at our reunion. However, Frank died on August 18, 2024 so we felt it appropriate to donate his reservation money to his favorite charity.

Reunion update- It has come to my attention that three attendees at our event last weekend have tested positive for Covid. If you were also there and haven’t been feeling well, you may want to get tested.

Eight years ago today was our 50th Reunion and what a reunion it was! We know there will never be another one like it, and I, for one, am very grateful to the entire committee that worked so hard to make it happen. Your thoughts about that iconic class event??

Frank was my neighbor on the next block over in Morningside. Gail, thanks for the memory of Frank performing magic tricks. I had forgotten about that. I was also looking forward to reconnecting with him at the reunion. So sad that won't be happening. I thought perhaps we could donate his reunion refund in his name to one of his charities from the class.

My earliest experience with motorized toys was with Torrey in the late 50's- he got a go cart which seemed so much fun- racing around low to the ground. My parents were against the idea, but I still lusted after that speedy feeling, so I thought I would build my own! That idea was still born, no place to do it! But I got a Doodlebug scooter which I fixed up for quietly cruising. Then I got caught one night, underage, driving without lights, Harvey Allison was on the back! I lost track of Torrey when the expanding family moved to a newer house, leaving Lakeview Drive behind. But my motoring lust never left, still building things for fun & speed. Thanks Torrey for setting my heart's course in the proper direction! RIP

I'm so sorry to hear of Torrey's passing.  I have so many memories of fun times together.  He was a good friend and a good person.
