Liked the Reunion? Didn't like the reunion? Wanna help on the next one in 5 years? Wanted to attend but only want to speak to specific folk or couldn’t attend but have web access and want to catch up?
Whatever the reason,
there’s a
new spot on the World Wide Web for Memorial graduates of the class of
1985 to
meet, greet, catch up, etc.
Join, have fun, play nice
and....be careful out there....
Since the reunion is now over, this site will become like a web-based rememberance
book for
the reunion, along with other pages for fun, games and other things,
as well as a source for the next reunion, which will be our 25th, so, keep coming back for further updates soon!
