I hope by now you’ve made arrangements to attend our 60th reunion June 12-15.

There will be class meetings and professional school breakfasts and a memorial service for deceased classmates.

There’s still time to sign up for the reunion! Contact Clark or Happy Griffiths at clarkgrif@comcast.net or Mike Tompkins at miket@infionline.net.
