Aquinas Class of '71
50th Reunion

was a HUGE SUCCESS!

 

The events were well attended. There were a few surprise attendees and all had lots of stories and laughter! Photos of the weekend are in the Photo Gallery at the top of the left hand menu. If anyone has more photos, or stories to share from the weekend, please email to me (Paul Pierce). I'll add them to the web site.

Thursday Moon Tunes at Riverside Park had lots of good music and few mosquitos. Joe and Ann Kotnour setup the popup canopy and sign, as our beacon. We also had some “Class of 1970” folks stop to say hi.

Friday at Carly's/Big Al's was awesome! Very well attended also. Food was hot, drinks were cold and stories were elaborate, to say the least.

Saturday golf at Forest Hill's had a great weather day. The foursome of John Kacner, Mike Desmond, Paul Barton and Greg Pederson won the best ball scramble with a low score of 6 under par. Thanks to Jerry DeBoer, Bill Bettis and Mike Desmond for organizing the golf.

The Saturday Grand Finale at Piggy's Restaurant was well attended and the food was great! Dan Marcou's Power Point presentation of all class members pictures, ran continuously through the evening. Thanks Dan for the great work on that! After the social hour we were led in pre-dinner prayer by Sister Mary Ann Gschwind. We also had a short Aquinas Schools update from Ted Knutson, President – Aquinas Schools. Also in attendance was former teachers, Dave Reinders, Mary Ann Braithwaite and Sister Mary Ann. John Kacner was awarded the Grand Prize Golf Trophy and Organizing Committee members were recognized.

The committee would like to thank all that contributed to the great success of our 50th Reunion. Either with ideas, actions or attendance, it all made for a great weekend.

Sadly many of our classmates are suffering and far too many have passed. We are grateful for those who were able to attend this year and miss all who were unable to attend. We offer prayers to all.

Watch for any updates that may be added (pictures, storie, etc.). We are hoping to do an annual Moon Tunes gathering so watch for those updates. Keep in contact thru the web site.
