Thank you very much for posting this memory from 1956!
It would be interesting to see what became of all of us after 60 years.
Would any of us recognize each other? I can still picture most everyone,
Hi Vic. How cool that you left a comment. 🙂 do you have any pictures of your class?
I did see a class picture on the web about 5 years ago, can’t remember where and can’t
find it again. I do look occasionally and if I ever find it again I will post it.
Perhaps another class member will see this site and have the picture?
perhaps indeed. thanks!
We had the best class of ‘ 56 and the best friends. Wish we could go back and hug each other. Miss you all. Sharon Drinkwaard Barthel living in Phoenix, AZ since 1972.
