Class of 1958

The Class of '58 celebrating their 70th birthday

The Class of '58 will be celebrating their 70th birthday party on Sunday, August 29, 2010 at The Chart House restaurant in Lakeville.  We are looking at additional options for Saturday,  perhaps a picnic or skydiving or a hot air balloon ride.  Yes, we really are.  If you have an email address and have not been receiving any class information, please contact Gail Anderson at gailmeredith@msn.com and we'll get you on the list.  More information will be coming when we have any.  In the meantime save August 29th and we hope to see you then.

50th reunion was held on September 19, 20, and 21st

Our 50th reunion was held on September 19, 20, and 21st -a three day extravaganza kicked off on Friday with a cocktail party at Jax Café, hosted by Bill Cooley, and followed by dinner in the main dining room. On Saturday 58 from ’58 hopped on a bus at Minnehaha Falls and toured Memory Lane right down to lunching at Curran’s. We returned to the Falls Pavilion, where other classmates and their guests joined us. The music was from the ‘50’s, the entertainment was inspiring (“Those Were the Days”), the food was Pizza, and the reminiscing was great. On Sunday we gathered at the Nicollet Island Pavilion on the river - beautiful setting, beautiful people, and a chance to watch the sunset on the river from the veranda. Most important of all was reconnecting with each other. It was truly a celebration.

In the process of planning this event we established a fund with donations from classmates and revenues from advertisements in our Directory. We were pleased to be able to present Richard Green Central Park K-8 School (on the site of Minneapolis Central) with $4,000 to be used for activities normally unavailable to their students. Hopefully other CHS classes will join us in supporting this effort. For more information contact John Bostad at jbostad@aol.com. We are also hoping to organize a volunteer group to work with the younger students on reading and/or math skills one or two hours monthly. Please contact Beverly Berg Brucciani or Gail Ziegler Anderson if this interests you.

Please check the missing classmates list. If you have any news about a classmate, a change of address, or would like to learn more about volunteering at Richard Green please contact:
