Several have asked this Question...

The class of 55 has received several questions regarding any up-coming Class get-together. In response, we will re-post a previous answer that was listed shortly after the 55th celebration last August.
QUESTION: When will the next Class of 55 get-together be held?
ANSWER: During the 55th two-day event in August, the Class committee mingled and asked class members what they thought should be the next class event. Following the reunion, the comments were compiled and this was the conclusion of the majority.
"The Class of 55 should hold an informal event on a two year basis. There should be no formal reunion with a banquet or program. The informal get-together should be held in Montesano, at noon time with Lunch at a restaurant with class members ordering individually from the menu. This should be a time of visiting, catching up on any class news, eating, and having a relaxed afternoon together."
The majority opinion was that with our ages advancing, we did not need a formal two-day reunion. Just getting together for lunch and seeing everyone again was enough. Having a light and informal lunch at a restaurant would be satisfactory.
With this in mind, the next class get-together will be held in August of 2012. Notifications will be sent out in enough time for all class members to make advanced plans to attend.
Thanks to all of you who sent in this Question...
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2012!

Welcome back to Washington State!

WELCOME BACK TO A CLASS OF 55 MEMBER!

Word has been received from FRED THAANUM that he and Noreen have moved back to the great state of Washington. After living in Search Light NV for many years, the Thaanum's have sold their home and moved back to Hoquiam. The sale took place in December of 2010 and Fred and Noreen are settled in their place close to their home town of Montesano. If you would like to contact Fred, please reply to the Class of 55.

Glad to hear from you Fred...welcome back! We hope to make contact soon.
