Dear Class of 1958 Classmate,
All plans are now complete for our 50th Reunion as
outlined below. There is a lot of enthusiasm about the
reunion. Lots of people have told us that they are
planning on coming, some who have never come to a
reunion before. If you have never come to a reunion, you
have missed something special. Our reunion will not be
complete unless EVERYONE comes. So please join in
celebrating our 50th Class Reunion!!

Donnie Mabe Rupp is creating a 50th reunion memory book
that will include biographies and pictures of all the
classmates who send them to her and obituaries for all
of the deceased classmates that we can locate. The
memory book will cost $30. If you cannot attend the
reunion, you can still order the memory book from the
registration form. Our memory book will only be complete
if all class members send in their biographies and
pictures. The biography should be about 250 words long,
telling what has happened since graduation. Tell about
college, military service, work history, spouse,
children, hobbies, etc. Send your biography and picture
to Donnie NOT LATER THAN JULY 15, 2008, as follows:
