Reunion goers, we trust you are all safely home by now and have had ample time to reflect upon our recent 56th reunion.​ When time allows we would appreciate your feedback regarding any of the following: 1) venues, schedule, food, publicity/communications, registration, 2) highlights, positive aspects, 3) constructive criticisms, 4) ideas, suggestions for future reunions.​ Please give feedback on our website or on Facebook OR to any of us on the committee...Carlton Bjerkaas, Mary Jo Christenson, Jo Collins, Vicki Heydt, Tom Hintgen, Linda Lorenz, Meg Welle, Bev Runningen, or Dave Steussy.​ See your updated directory for our contact info.

If there's a word that captures the spirit of last weekend, perhaps it is Gratitude. Grateful for beautiful weather the whole weekend. Grateful we were able to come together, to support one another, to renew friendships and even make new friends. Thankful to Tom O for his heartfelt blessing and perfect analogy to stew.​ Thanks to​ Bruce for leading us through a fun class survey and the open mic period.​ And thank you, Dave S, for the relaxing pontoon tour of Pebble Lake. We are grateful for being reminded of the true meaning of "wealth", to realize how wealthy we are and how the Gary Lovellettes of our class and our other deceased classmates who have given of themselves, adding to our wealth, and helping to form who we are today.

Last, we collected $160 for the 544 Ed Foundation.​ If you would still like to give, to share your wealth, send a check to Mindy Fudor, Director, 518 Friberg Ave, Fergus Falls, MN 56537.

So, THANK YOU for coming, be safe, stay cool and we hope to see you all again next time.
