RJHS Class of 1969 45th Reunion

Roosevelt Junior High School, Class of 1969, 45th Reunion
Lake Shawnee Shelter House #6
September 20, 2014
Yet another great potluck spread of food for the 45th Reunion... ...and at the end of the table,  combination Reunion / 60th Birthday cake... ... worthy of a close-up shot. AND yet again (left to right) Claudia, Mary, and Jan handled the lion's share of the work putting this event together. We met at Lake Shawnee Shelter House #6 again, and there was discussion later about maybe meeting elsewhere and how long we should wait. Stay tuned to the web page for news on that decision.
The best part of this class is not the reunions, but the fact that we have all stayed in touch this long, and it seems like no time passes. Though we have indeed all experienced many changes along the way.
