~~  60th Year Reunion  ~~

The 60-year reunion is over...it was great to get together with so many classmates, spouses/partners, and friends.  A special thanks to Beverly (Rigby) Boyle and Carla (Smith) Clark for their leadership as Co-chairpersons and their work at putting the reunion together.

Another special thanks to Brent Peterson for providing and supporting the luncheon and the bowling activity.  After so many years of reunions, we've learned that we love to get together and, basically, just eat, have fun, and talk.

The venue, The Westover Family Ranch, was a comfortable and convenient place for the reunion and we must give an additional, special thanks to Willis Kortright, his cousin Sherrie, and their family for offering the Ranch as our reunion venue.  So good!  We hope our class donation of the wall-mounted projection screen will serve the Ranch for years-to-come and be a reminder to them of our class of 1966 reunion.

And, of course, a super thanks to everyone who attended and who made the reunion a great success.  Many commented at how impressed they were that everyone pitched-in and did whatever was needed.  And I mean everyone, including spouses, classmates, and friends.  Thank you, spouses, for bringing and attending with your classmate...we hope you always feel welcome!  Thank you to everyone who helped cook (many), decorate (Cheri and more), set up and clean up (many), brought specialty cars, those who shared talents and hobbies, talked and made presentations, took and shared pictures, and a special mention to those who did so much up-front work to advertised the reunion and invite folks to come (Dorothy, Dale, and many others).  As Cheri Wilson told me years ago at one of the prior reunions,"These are such good people to associate with!"  And I fully agree!

One other monumental task I must mention here that was done just before this reunion.  If you look at the 'Youth Photos', you will now see that most of the class pictures are annotated with names of the kids there.  Dorothy Ann (Perry) Kenedy did that!  All I can say is, "What a great job...what a great memory you have, Dorothy!"  The names make it even more fun to review those old class pictures.  Thank you for that!

As the Treasurer, I was impressed that we were able to charge so little ($20) for the attendance fee and still come out ahead when it was over.  There were a number of reasons for this, but I want to thank all those who were so generous by donating more than the minimum fee to support the class.  I have already been able to extend the Madison66.com domain on the web for another five years with some of those extra funds.  I certainly hope you all continue to enjoy our website.

~~  63rd Year Reunion  ~~

So, it was decided that we will hold the next reunion in three years (2029) and the committee Co-chairpersons will be Bryan Fujimoto and Cheri (Hulme) Wilson.  They will need lots of help, so if you are interested in making the next reunion another great one, volunteer now and don't wait.  How to volunteer?  Go to Bryan's or Cheri's 'Classmate Profile' and send them a message.

If you haven't done so by now, please update your profile information on this 'Madison66' website so we can send you information about future reunions and so classmates can communicate with you.  If you haven't created your Profile, just go to 'Classmate Profiles' in the top menu bar of this 'Home Page' of this website, then when the list of classmates appears just click on your name from the list and follow the prompts to complete your profile.  You can add photos and any other information you want, but please include a correct email address so others can communicate with you.

If you have any info on missing classmates, please email the website. We would like to have our participation go from 70+% to 100%. If you need help updating your profile, grab one of your kids and even more, your grandkids. They are great in this social networking age we live in.
