• Class of 1967 - CONCLUDED

  It doesn’t seem that long ago since we celebrated our 50-year

  reunion! Your reunion committee has begun preparations for our 55-year reunion, and here are the dates:

  • Friday, August 19, 2022 from 5:00-9:00 p.m. at the Whitnall Park Beer Garden
  • Saturday, August 20, 2022 from 5:00-10:00 p.m. in the WLHS Atrium

  The Whitnall Park Beer Garden will be a very casual evening, where we will have a reserved area, and you can order fish fries, refreshments, sandwiches. Previous reunions have done this, and
  it’s been a real highlight.
  
  The reunion will be more casual than previous reunions, with a minimal program and available tours. WLHS is working on an outstanding athletic field expansion, which should be finalized that week, so you’ll be able to get a firsthand look at what was done.
  
  One additional item that we could add to the reunion is a Brewer game, which will be on Thursday, August 18, for anyone interested. We’ll send out more details in the spring, but please mark your calendars with these dates!
  
  Finally, below is a list of classmates who we don’t have current addresses on. If you know any of their addresses, please email Russ Geiger at geigerruss@gmail.com.
  
  Trusting you have had a Blessed Christmas with your families!
  Happy New Year!
