2026

This is the year!
The stars really have aligned ⭐

We are truly—REALLY—planning a Class of 1963 reunion this autumn. It’s been 63 years since we graduated, and that feels like a milestone worth celebrating together.

Save the dates: September 15–16–17 (Tuesday–Wednesday–Thursday). We’re retired now—weekends are optional! We hope to hear from classmates in Helena and from friends scattered across the country.

Our desire to keep gathering comes from the generosity and spirit of Dennis and Priscilla Dickert, whose annual picnic at their valley home reminded us how precious these reunions are—especially as time moves on and our numbers grow smaller.

As always, the surrounding days are yours to reconnect however you wish—over coffee, on the golf course, by the river, or in one of Helena’s fine spots.

The survey requires you answer the first 3 questions.  The four question is optional.

Please respond soon. If possible, vote by February 17 (survey closes February 28). This is not formal enrollment—just a quick way to be sure there’s enough interest to make this mini-reunion happen.
