THE
CLASS OF 1944
EDWARDSVILLE,
ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL
I was a member of the class of 1944 and although I
was serving in the United States Army at the time of graduation I had earned
the necessary credentials to receive my diploma.
The Class of 1944 held its 60th Reunion in October 2004. I do not
know the exact number attending but it was larger than I expected it to
be. Because we are getting up in age it was decided that we would meet
on the Second Friday of October of each year.
The 62nd Reunion was
a luncheon at RUSTY'S RESTAURANT
IN EDWARDSVILLE on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2006 . There were approximately
40+ of the classmates and guests in attendance. There were members from
Indiana and Wisconsin present that I know of. The group has scheduled the
64th Reunion for FRIDAY, OCTOBER
10, 2008
, 11:00 a.m., at Fox Creek Country Club on Route 159 north of Edwardsville
. We hope that more of the classmates can be attending. Our thanks to
the committee for their fine work in making this possible.
If you should need further information you can e-mail me and I can put
you in touch with the committee. My e-mail address is on the first page.
