Memories...





If you missed our 40th, you missed a fun time! I forget exactly, but there were something over 60 people there.

I know folks have been looking for the photos. You can view them online here. I seem to be somewhat technologically-challenged and Tim Usher had to duplicate the DVD that Mary Pat made of all the photos she took. It's really lovely - there's music to go with the slideshow!




And...Tim has kindly donated the DVDs, labels & cases to the cause. So all you need to pay for is getting them from him to me & me to you! If you'd like a copy of the DVD, send $5 per copy using the Paypal "send money" function to djmartin541[at]gmail[dot]com. Please put your mailing address in the note area - Paypal doesn't show them to me in this mode. If you want to send me a check, email me for my address (if you don't already have it from purchasing a reunion ticket).

See you in five years!

Mpls West 40th FAQ


WHAT??? Yep. We're all getting older (well, you are, we aren't) and it's time to celebrate 40 years since we graduated. To that end, the reunion committee has been getting together via email for the last year, wringing hands and making decisions.

When? Saturday, August 16, 2014 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Don't forget the all-school reunion at Williams Pub the night before!)

Where? The Bakken Museum, 3537 Zenith Ave. S., on the "western" shore of Lake Calhoun. The class of 1973 had their reunion at The Bakken and it was so nice, we decided to copy them!

Parking? Available on the street. You may have to walk a couple of blocks but you're not that old, are you? If you have special needs, please let us know.
