Results of our 40th Reunion!

Hi all,

We had almost 100 in attendance for the 40th Reunion. Many friendships were rekindled and are continuing on Facebook.

It was a great event with Tatoosh playing and a special appearance by "The Chaotics".

Our "Special Mystery Guest" was Teacher Ron Malnar, who continued with his PMA.

Our pre-event at Farrelli's Pizza in Sumner, was well attended and jam packed.

Many have expressed interest in having informal gatherings more often. The information is still there and all it will take is for someone to take the reins.

Want to take a look at some of Dave Burn's Video and find the links to Facebook and other sites? Find them on this Blog and on Facebook.  Look for the links to the right.

See you next time!

Hi Everybody,

The arrangements for the reunion have all been finalized.  We will have 95 people attending the reunion; 67 classmates and 28 guests including our mystery guest. 

Our Master of Ceremonies, Dave Teitzel, has prepared a terrific entertainment program that will include our own John ‘Smiley’ Garrett as DJ who will be playing your favorite hits from our high school years, a special video presentation, the bands Tatoosh and the Chaotics, the Spartan Feud trivia game, and a presentation by our mystery guest. 

Carla Sawyer, Linda Hayford Lind, and Debbie Rushton have done a terrific job of arranging our buffet and beverage services.  We will also have a hosted bar and bartender.

Special thanks to Dave Burns, Marc Aasland, and John Garrett for the outstanding job they did in finding lost classmates, promoting the event online on Facebook, Classmates, and a special SHS Reunion Blog, and we can’t thank them enough for the hundreds of hours they spent creating videos and scanning pictures that take us back to our high school years.

And finally, our thanks to others who served on committees and gave their time and resources to make this a special event for all of us; Gary Montgomery, Pam Moody Stovel, Donna McConaughy Murphy, Chuck Guerrini, Correen Orton, Betsy Rioux Eiford, Nancy Hinckley Russell, and Nancy Teer Wolever.  

We hope our 40^th reunion is a very special and memorable event for everyone.  We look forward to seeing you this Saturday night!

Let's Party!!!
