Looking Towards 50

Next year will be the 50th year since we graduated from high school.  As one classmate quipped, "My math must be wrong.  At most, it's only been 30 years since we graduated."  Plans, though, are underway to have our big reunion next August 1-4, 2019, here in Brookings, which is not the Brookings it was in 1969.. 
 
We want as many as possible to attend, so we are trying to contact everyone who graduated with us. Paula (Hoffman) Platz has a facebook page for this reunion.  If you are familiar with facebook, you will probably have little trouble finding information for the Brookings, South Dakota class of 1969 upcoming 50th high school reunion. 
 
 
 
We have lost at least 18 members of our class.  We have seemingly lost contact with a few others.  These include Dan Holm, Bob Lee, Patsy McKeown, Eugene Mueller, Wayne Nelson, Donna Rieck, Joanne Sauer, and Jackie Walsh.  We could use your help in locating these classmates. 
 
We have sent out an email to all of those for whom we have email addresses with the above  invitation.  Additionally, we have sent out a list of lodging establishments and a class list of last known contact information.  There are undoubtedly some errors on our class list, as people have retired and moved.  Again, if you  can be of assistance in correcting any information on our class list, it would be greatly appreciated by the committee. 
 
Our last gathering a few years ago was well-received, but we think we can make this "Golden One" even better.  We are hoping that everyone can pitch in and do a little bit to help this milestone.  Thanks in advance.
