A car from our era...1955

1956 Ford Skyliner (Glasstop) We restored this car in 1988 from an original car that came from the Indian reservation here on Vancouver Island. It is full power with all options.

1956 Meteor Crown Victoria We restored this car in 1990 and drove it to Ocean Shores Washington for its first drive. It is full power with all accessories except "air".

Robert Buchholz, (Louise Fox Buchholz husband) sent in some photos of some beautifully restored cars of our era. Here is a beauty...a 1955 Merc Sun Valley with full "skylight" and that long Conteniental Kit chrome wrapped spare tire...oh those were the days!

Class of "55" member mentioned in Vidette

In the "Flashback" section of the local paper "The Vidette"...a Class of "55" member is mentioned in the Pages of the Past...

50 years ago...Sept. 17, 1959...

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sandberg took their daughter, Winifred, to Tacoma on Sunday to take the train for New York on the first step of her journey to Nepal, where she will serve three years as a medical missionary at Kathmandu, in charge of the laboratory at the United Mission Hospital, which is in an old palace. From New York, Winifred will go by ship to Bombay, then by train to northern India, and probably fly on to Kathmandu.

Three Class of 55 attend the class of 56 mini-reunion

Marlene Case Cedell, Charlie Crass and Maxine Fulmer Vogt

The Class of 56 held a reunion picnic at Friends landing on Friday. Since some of the class of 55 have married or were siblings or friends of the Class of 56 members, three class of 55 were in attendance.

Those who attended were: Maxine Fulmer Vogt, Charlie Crass and Marlene Case Cedell.

It was great to be invited to the event and also great to see all in attendance. The Class of 56 had 29 class members or guests in attendance.

Thanks Class of 56 for including some of the class of 55 at your event!
