Hello All Alumni!

Hope everyone's summer has been filled with fun and family. It's been pretty quiet in terms of news updates around here so thought it was time to check in.

Please continue to send us any updates you might have in home or email address. You can give us updates for your own information or if you are aware of a change regarding a classmate, send those to us as well. Hopefully we can keep things up to date for the next reunion.

Also if you have any news items you'd like to see posted here on the website, feel free to send those in to Alan McCollough or Brett Trotter.

Without our roots

   We cannot grow,

By honoring our past

    We define our future.
