These are a compilation of all the photo's people sent or posted so far! Thank you to EVERYONE who came out and made it such a fun night catching up. We all need to make sure and thank John Thaler for his generous donation of $1,000! Loopy's Saloon, Grill & Event Dome did a great job getting the tables set up for us and keeping the food and drinks filled! I also want to thank Pamela Zenisek who made the 2 layer cake and to Lisa Jo Malone who helped call and mail out invitations on the Chi-hi side and bought me a few mum plants. Thank you to everyone who helped set up...hopefully I remember everyone: Lisa Jo Malone, her mom, Pamela Zenisek, John Thaler, his girlfriend Stacy, Shelley Johnson Wells, and my husband Brian Eugene Mcilquham who was also the person checking you all in!

Sorry if I forgot anybody! Because a few people have offered to step up and help with the next reunion, it looks like there will be another reunion!

A few interesting facts. I realize I might not have all the addresses correct but I have tried. What I currently show for Chi-hi is:
*𝟵𝟰 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀; 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝟮𝟴 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘁𝗮!
*𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟲𝟱 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗡! (𝘀𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴???? 😁)
*𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝟯𝟬 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 😢

If you are local and still in Wisconsin or in the Minnesota area, please make an effort to come to the reunion. We have fun and everyone is nice. People change. I have heard so many tell me they never fit in, in high school so why should they come or how badly they were treated, etc. I could go on and on. Truthfully, that saddens me that people are carrying hurt for over 35 years. What I am saying is, who cares who the jocks or popular ones were. Nobody is better than anyone else. People have gained weight, lost hair, been married 4 times...Who cares? This will be my last time organizing this event so it very well could be the last reunion we ever have. I wasn't popular. I wasn't in sports and I quit band after my junior year and yet here I have been working on this reunion stuff since starting out helping with the 10 year and then continuously ever since. I have had more health issues than most, many surgeries, in and out of an electric wheelchair or walker for over 10 years now and almost died 7 years ago...If I can organize this and go to event, YOU CAN TOO if you don't have plans! Ok, done with the soap box.😘 Hope to see you there.
