Remembering: What We Did Shortly After Graduation
Over time we've collected a few pictures from our years shortly after graduation, and some more recent, showing how we have kept in touch for the past 60+ years. Sometimes, one of the classmates is the photographer! Sharing these photos with you is the goal of this page.
We'd be more than happy to add your pictures to this page. Just send them to us with names, dates, location and story, if there is one. See our FAQ page and/or our Contact Webmaster page for ways to send them.

Nancy Belding Petrzilka (Co64) posted this picture on Facebook saying it was in the 60's and the guys were getting ready for a trip out West. Someone mentioned Ricks Italian shoes and the unsuitability for that occasion.
