No, A funny thing happened on the way to ... Pizza King! Jeff Neuberger, BHS Class of '68 alumnus, was visiting Brookings from his home in Spokane, WA. What began as a few guys meeting for pizza while he was in town on September 19th, turned into a mini-reunion for several Class of '68ers, courtesy the magic that is Facebook.
Prior to his arrival, Jeff had announced the gathering on Facebook's Brookings High School class of 1968 page, which brought in several more classmates and other guests. The accompanying picture shows (almost) all attendees: Carmen and Barry Howe, John Iverson, Steve Hayes, Bob Adams, Mike McClemans, Sandy Frie-Smith, Randy McClagan, Erv Colbeck (husband of Betty Becker), Dave Spaulding, Diane (Stratton) Melby. Missing from the photo is the guest of honor, Jeff Neuberger. He, in his role as Best Photographer of Reunions Worldwide, was taking the picture. It was an even dozen BHSers discussing everything from a few current events to our collective amazement at how much corporal punishment was allowed in schools of our day.
The gathering took place at Skinners, south a few storefronts from Pizza King. Skinners does not mind small groups showing up and ordering a few pizzas from elsewhere, as long as the drinks come from Skinners. Nice!
Check out that Brookings High School class of 1968 Facebook page occasionally. You may be able to join one of these short-notice mini-reunions. Bring your memories!
