There are a few people we have not heard from and just in case you forgot what I look like here you go!!!  I haven't changed a whole lot since yesterday and this is downtown Minneapolis on top of the Walker Art Center mini-golf place with the church where we were married in the background - just a couple details👫.  If you are looking to do something fun with a view the mini golf on the roof of the Walker is a good place for a view and then of course to see the spoon and cherry in the public gardens! $8-10 to golf and free to walk in the gardens.

July Reunion - Better Late than Never:)

July 19, 2014 - 50 year Class Reunion of the Great Lafayette High School Class of 1964

What can I say except that it turned out to be a great time, went perfectly and we all want to do it again and I am willing to host because the guests were wonderful and helpful.  This made the day very easy for me and Ross!

We had a crazy busy and fun summer at our house so I am getting finished with my "lists" - I'm sure we all have them.  Finishing this was one thing on the list.

Enjoy!

Starting with front row right to left:

DeVerle (Dee) Schultz Jones, Beth Pouliot Solheim, Judy Demarais Bauer

Peggy Cartier Schaupp, Bonnie Casavan Audette, Mary Poirier Luke

In 19 Days we Celebrate 50 Years!!!

I just sent out an email to everyone and have had many replies and it should be a fun and easygoing time for all of us!  If you would still like to attend just reply and if you show up unannounced that will be fine too.  We are asking everyone to bring a small dish to share - whatever you wish.
Directions to my house and the phone number are in the email.

2014 Is Here!! Pay Attention!

This is the email that went out initially a few months ago and we have had several responses which I will try to update very soon by email or possibly on this website.  Please email us if you have any questions!

Lafayette HS 50^th Class Reunion 1964-2014 

Can you believe we are actually going to celebrate FIFTY YEARS? Well, we are - and that means it’s time to get together!  Since summers are busy for everyone (including retireesJ) we want to plan far ahead: 

When:                 July 19, 2014 

Where:                Dee’s house (DeVerle Schultz Jones)                           WILL PROVIDE ADDRESS AND DIRECTIONS BY EMAIL

                             Bloomington, Minnesota 55437

Contacts:           Dee Home (952) 831-6505

                             Beth Cell:  (218) 556-6450     

 Time:                  11:00am-5:00pm 

Since many of our classmates no longer have relatives in Red Lake Falls, we thought it would be nice to have a casual get together in Minneapolis. Dee will provide Sloppy Joes for the group. Please bring a dish to share and the beverage of your choice. 

Please also RSVP to both Beth and Dee so we have a food count. 

We are missing several email addresses and would appreciate it if you would let Dee (daj@jrjnet.net) or Beth (bjsolh@gmail.com) or Judy (bauerju65@gmail.com) know the email addresses of any of these classmates:  Donna Gervais Alexander(have mailing address), Joyce Gervais, Beverly Hagl, Ed Johanneck (have mailing address)  Gladys Lacoursiere (have mailing address), June Marcotte, Carol Theroux Proulx (have only facebook email address), Joyce Thode Matheny(have mailing address)

50 Year reunion - 2014 - Summer!

I've been talking with Beth (Solheim), Peggy (Cartier), Judy (Demarais) and a couple others and we would like to have a 50 year reunion next summer - it is a big Milestone!!!
We hope to contact people by email or facebook if possible and need an updated email list that we could share with everyone - or any other ideas that may help us get this going.
So if anyone is reading this and would like to be included and has contact emails for any others, please let me know.
As of now the plan is to gather everyone at my house for a full day/evening.  I live in Bloomington MN and we feel it would be a central point and convenient for many others.  My preference would be sometime in mid July 2014.
The four of us are headed up to Red Lake Falls for a 3 night road trip next week - party is on!!!
Please comment in the comment section below this post - and thanks!

 

This is DeVerle (Dee) Schultz Jones and Beth Pouliot Solheim back at it again!
I have heard small rumblings that we have a 50th year class reunion coming up in 2014.  I will be heading to Phoenix tomorrow and will see Beth Pouliot Solheim to talk this over.  Our plan so far is to have it in the Twin Cities where I live so we need to contact people and see how many are interested.  I am thinking a good way is email and possibly a Facebook invite page.  Thoughts?
In the meantime I am watching at least 10 inches of snow fall here!
My home email is daj@jrjnet.net and I am not sure who is following this blog.  If you are and know of emails for other classmates please share.
Thanks a whole bunch.
