Skip(py): Just a belated note of thanks for all the hard work you and your crew did to plan a successful 50th reunion weekend! Enjoyed the fish fry and despite the wedding I had to attend on Saturday, I probably would have attended only one event anyway. Was good to see some of the old crew. I discovered the women were easier to identify then the men.

Enjoyed meeting your wife--she seemed like a keeper to me--no wonder you've been married for 33 years!

I especially was glad to see Dave Koepnick--as we grew up in the same neighborhood. As we were entering the Waterfront, Susie said to him--should I know you and he replied I don't think so--we later laughed about that! Thanks again, Barb

Ron Nordstrom, Carole Ellis Roesh and her husband Louis

Tons of pictures from Dave Koepnick

Behind Joanne Delaney is Leonard and Forman

We need more pictures.

This is actually a repost from a committee meeting a year ago. Larry DuBois and Frank DeVoy braved the all women committee. Pam has agreed to chair a reunion in five years and I hope some new classmates jump in to help.

Coffee at Sue's

Sue & Dick Alter recently moved to Lake Geneva and invited us over after fish at the Waterfront for coffee and more talking. She sent this picture this morning of Jim Forman, Joe Neumeier, and Ron Nordstrom.

Thank you

Thanks to all the classmates that were able to attend the

"DDHS 50th High School Reunion."

We had a wonderful weekend to socialize, reminisce, laugh, and even eat and drink a little. It was great to see all of you. We haven't changed a bit!!!

To those of you who were not able to attend -- YOU WERE MISSED. Hopefully you will be able to attend our 55th in 5 years.

Frank will be emailing our classmate information (address, telephone numbers, and email addresses) as well as the bio information we collected. We encourage everyone to keep us updated on any changes so we can contact all of you for the 55th reunion.

Even at this age

Pam's reunion picture

Pam sent me a couple of pictures...probably emptying her camera before leaving on her vacation to the west coast. Before I forget who all these wonderful people are I'm going to try and name them. If you can't make the image bigger it won't make any difference if I'm wrong but if you can and you weren't there you may not recognize us anyway so just take my word for it.

Seated in the front row going left to right:

Mary Ann Seely, Lynn Gregg, Kathy Bruce, Carol Benkovic, Joan Smith Myrtle Klaske, Theresa DeWolfe.

Second Row: Karen Uhen, Barb Willard, Bill Behrens, Nancy Lipps, Joy Meyer, Carol Wendorf, Bruce Cutting, Sue Johnson, Butch Jones, JoAnn Delaney, Chuck LeRette and Michelle Scheurell.

Third Row, beginning with Sandi Schauer (Behind Barb in the black top), Carol Ellis, Sue Deschner, Pat Varoni, Sheryl Craig, Pam Woodford, George Wilkins and Bob Schneider just behind Pam, Wayne Brown and I'm pretty sure that's Joe Neumeier sandwhiched between Wayne Brown and Butch Jones, then it's Dick Popp in the black shirt and Larry Du Bois, Butch Boutelle.

Back row on the left in the blue shirt is Dave Koepnik, Kent Bridges, Frank DeVoy Ron Nordstrom, Rolph Egnes, Larry Schutt, Mike McSorely, Tom Skelton, Ron Vegter, Leonard Logterman, Jim Foreman, Bob Speri with his drink in the air and I believe that is Jerry Stimfle's ear. Dick DeKalb's forhead is in front of Speri and behind Wayne Brown. I don't see John Richter anywhere.

So there you have it. You'll be getting your official class photo soon if you ordered one. All spelling errors belong to me.
