Sixty-five classmates were present, along with 29 spouses. Faculty class sponsor Mrs. Cathy Touchstone was there, accompanied by her husband, Tommy. Bill Crowther prepared a touching memorial display featuring the photos of the 39 known classmates already passed. The class has reunited five previous times through the past 50 years, and plans are already underway for the next one.
