We're in denial, but 40 years is a BIG DEAL!!! We HIGHLY encourage EVERYONE to attend...our 20th, 25th, and 30th Reunions were a BLAST - and there's no doubt this one will be as well, especially with friends from other classes attending! We look forward to seeing everyone - let's have a great time on August 23rd! 🎓
Class of '85 Rocks......HARD!
