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?

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.

Where is Dick Hays???
It was called to my attention that Dick Hays, who served as Treasurer on our 50th Reunion Committee, was missing from the photo of the committee in the Photo Gallery. I looked for him and grabbed him for a retake of the photo. Sorry it took nine years, Dick! Our apologies.

Don't miss the wonderful article about Bruce Brothers that was published today. You can read it in the Class Stories section. https://www.edina64.com/Class-Stories.htm. A fascinating read about his career in sports journalism and his passion for running marathons. Congrats, Bruce!
