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??

Sadly, we lost another classmate recently. Becky Wingert Glister died July 31, 2022. Her obituary has been posted In Memory. This photo was taken at our 50th Reunion. Condolences to her family and friends.

An article was recently published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune regarding the medical use of cannabis. Classmate, Bruce Bomier, was one of two longtime advocates that was interviewed for the article. Bruce's first experience with marijuana was during his Army service in Vietnam. Bomier later published his first edition of "Marijuana and Responsible Parent" in the late 1980s. The book lauded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse is now in its 12th printing. Read Bruce's fascinating story in this article in the Forum section on our website. The Forum invites discussion among classmates on this and other important topics.

Very happy birthday (tough time of year to have a birthday, but I am sure you are used to it now!).

Does anyone remember Carol Sue Wing (Schreiber) from our class? Her obituary appeared in the Strib last weekend and listed her as being a graduate of our class, however she did not appear in our yearbook or commencement program. I have added Carol to our In Memory page, along with her photo. Perhaps someone will recognize and remember her. To my knowledge, she is the first of our classmates to die of Covid 19.

Carol Sue (Wing) Schreiber·         Schreiber, Carol Sue Wing Died from Covid 19, November 29, 2020 in Willmar, MN. She is survived by husband of 50 years, Michael Schreiber and son, Leroy.

I was saddened to hear of the recent loss of our classmate, Diane Dillner Zollars. Diane notified us last year that she was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. She lived a full and busy life. My condolences to her family and friends.

A celebration of life will be held for our classmate, Tom Anderson, who passed away last September 25, 2020.

This is a sad loss- Mike was so engaged in the larger world & development overseas. We shared the Peace Corps Volunteer life early on, both in Malaysia, but it formed a bond that stayed with us. He often shared what was going on in the Friends Of Malaysia group he belonged to, encouraging my participation. His career gave him a unique insight to World Affairs- he was a valued friend for many of us. Rest In Peace.
