The 2021 Class Reunion -- re-scheduled from 2020 -- will not be held this year (i.e., 2021) due to continued restrictions and concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to have a reunion in 2022 once a number of issues have been resolved, most notably COVID-related.
Considerations for future reunions include:
● one-day event
● day-time event
● Princeton (or Pctn. area) location

WOW!!! What a fine miniReunion at Pat Smith's school house on Sat., Oct. 12.

(Thanks Pat.) 16-or-so classmates plus guests/spouses made for a special gathering.

The hot dogs were fabulous with "Bill's Drive-in" chili and finely chopped, creamy cole slaw -- thanks Linda Mills. Rumor has it that we might do this again. Hope to see more classmates next time.
