Classmates,

If you did not attend this past Friday night’s social hour(s) at OHSO, you missed a great time.  The weather was beautiful, and we had great turnout.  There was about 30 Classmates in attendance and lots of new faces.  Mark McChesney brought each of us a copy of our last printed Blade for our class.  (Thank you, Mark!) It was full of fun stories and info about the class of 1972.  Several photos taken at the event are attached below.  I am certain that at least one is sure to bring a smile to your face.

We are also looking ahead and plan to celebrate the “Class of ‘72 Turns 72” with another Social Hour event in early April 2026 (Happy Birthday).  This event will likely be at the OHSO Brewery again, as it is the only place that is large enough to accommodate this large of a group with ample parking and no room charge, and no minimum order or group check requirement.  Not to mention the great atmosphere.

We received a consensus from the attendees plus our website that a 55 Year Class Reunion would be welcomed.  We will soon begin the planning process for the event, but first, we would like to invite a few volunteers to help organize and plan an enjoyable 55-Year Reunion.  If you are interested, please submit an expression of interest on our website or email Boyd Heckel.  We would like to have a Planning Committee organized no later than January 2026.
