Corona Virus Forces Postponement of 50th
New dates: September 10-11, 2021



The committee for our 50th Reunion has made the difficult decision to postpone our gathering until September 10 and 11, 2021. With COVID-19 restrictions on travel and large gatherings, we have decided it is best to just wait until next year to have it. Please spread the word to other classmates.

Hang in there and hopefully next year we will have much more to celebrate!

Your 50th reunion committee,
