Our Classmates

Introduction

We’ve been managing our Classmate Database for years – Up until our 35th Reunion, it totaled approximately 200 – After our 35th, we decided to include every classmate found in all 4 yearbooks plus a few friends pushing our database total to 434.


While it was easy to append 200+ new records to the database, it wasn’t easy finding our new, Unaccounted-For-Classmates (“UFCs”) – Enter Barb Pirie (Acello) – Barb had a background checking business and when asked, she enthusiastically offered significant time and investigative resources to help find our UFCs.


Sadly, Barb passed in 2020 and we all owe her a debt of gratitude for the success we have had with our reunions – Attendance has been great but her efforts have helped with the rekindling and rejuvenation of many, friendships that go back 40 to 50 years  – Thoughts and Prayers Barb – We love you!!!
