If you attended the 60th Reunion this past weekend, I know you will agree that it was outstanding!. The Committee did a herculean job of organizing all the details over several months time, and then setting up (and cleaning up) for our social events. I don't really know how we can convey our appreciation~ other than to offer 1000 Thanks!
Diane Hunter Frost and Ann Christensen Anderson took many photos and shared them on their Facebook pages.I went through and saved them to post on this website, but first I want to know if any of you also took pictures you can share? If so, please post to our FBpage, or email them to me and I'll add them to the collection. In a few days I will start organizing them to post here on this site. So please if you have time, share them with us.
Speaking of Facebook, I learned this weekend that some of you aren't aware that we have our own page: MHS Class of '65. Send me a request to be approved (it is open only to our classmates). Nancy Anderson Hansen can also approve you.
For all of you who attended the Reunion, THANK YOU! For many of you it meant days of travel to and from Mankato. But it was worth it to spend time with so many friends, and remember those who weren't able to be with us.

Hi, All -
Please update my email address in your contact lists - it's jhigginsmd1@gmail.com.
I recently retired from my second career, and now I'm starting my third - working in the nonprofit sector and focusing on Global Health (literally trying to save the world).
Looking forward to our 55th reunion.
More to follow ...

Bob and Vicki Roy have done an amazing job of gathering photos from many of you and creating a slideshow on YouTube. This is now posted to our website. Enjoy...and many, many thanks to the Roys for their efforts. Wonderful job!

I want to thank the committee - they are awesome!! The reunion was fantastic and had so much fun connecting with so many people, especially the ones I am not always in contact with. Sorry I might have missed a few along the way and so sorry about that as I tried to see everyone. I don't know how you made the weather perfect also? One of the committee members asked me if I might be interested in being on the next committee for the 55th - I would love it if I am still here which will probably be.
Thank you for a great reunion!
See all of you in 2020!

To the MHS '65 Reunion Committee and a few others: Thank you so much for your tireless work organizing and supervising a very successful reunion. I think your website along with Facebook was instrumental in getting our classmates excited about our 50th reunion. All extra activities planned were awesome and very much appreciated. Dale Menton thank you so much for getting our class video together it is a much cherished keepsake. Jan Jensen thank you for arranging a tour at the Chankaska Creek winery. I must say it was a big hit with me. Jill Johnson thank you for remembering us by giving us each a beautiful flower. Jill you were truly missed. I hope you are feeling better. Kait and Chuck Klammer thank you for opening your beautiful home to our class for our 50th reunion.the food was delicious (loved the root beer floats), great music and most of all spending time with our classmates at your home made it a very wonderful evening. Eric Mickelson aka the most Holy Pope, I would like to thank you for the many blessings you bestowed on our class along with your holy jokes lol. A shout out to Nancy Hansen, Susan Serr Vickie Mickelson and Jean Lorentz and any others who were early at every event, and stayed afterwards to clean up. A Big thank yu to our classmates who are sharing pictures of our reunion. the pictures are awesome. Last but not least I would like to thank my husband Larry McCammon for playing the bagpipes at our memorial ceremony. My fellow classmates it was great seeing you all and we really did miss our classmates who were not able to make it. Thanks again for my new memories. Take are and God Bless... Always your classmate Marianne Bokrosh McCammon

Do you remember how incredibly, horribly HOT & HUMID it was 50 years ago today? As I recall it was nearly 100 degrees. Unlike so many commencement ceremonies now days in the Twin Cities that are held in arenas and mega churches there was no air conditioning in the gym. Do I remember correctly that a bunch of the guys wore shorts under their gowns in an attempt to be cooler?
