In Memoriam - Keep These Classmates In Your Hearts............

As our lives move on and the years go by - sadly, we lose some of our friends and classmates. For me, losing Artie Brierley at the height of our reconnecting as friends was very hard - and so it is with our classmates - some we knew well, some were simply our classmates with that very familiar name but the passing of each makes us stop, pause and remember and maybe wish we knew them a little better.

As this was being put together, we lost another dear classmate and friend - Bill Lauerman. Bill and Brian Alcock had been planning a golf outing on reunion weekend and Bill was looking forward to seeing everyone. He passed away a couple of weeks ago. We also lost Jill Osborne and Brian Taylor recently.

So as we are about to get together for our 40th class reunion, here we honor these 29 classmates and friends - keep them in your thoughts and celebrate their lives!

John Wescott will take a moment this Saturday evening to toast each one of these classmates so please try to be in the dining room at approximately 10pm to raise a glass.
