Class of ‘72 alum Helen Ostapik sent this great picture of our newly installed bench and tree, gifted to Freeport High School in celebration of last summer’s 50th reunion. Thanks to all who contributed!

There have been requests from some class members who couldn’t attend the reunion to show more details of the great memorabilia display put together by Helen Ostapik. Hope these pictures help!

My children (ages 31 and 33) are asking why nobody has posted any selfies. Please prove to me you guys actually took some so they stop calling us digital dinosaurs 🦖🦕 😬😂

Did you think we showed all the tables of attendees in that last post? Heck no, remember we were a BIG class and plenty of us still like to party. Please help identify everyone in these photos by commenting on them. A million thanks to Bob Werntz for being our “stealth paparazzi” photographer!

Your reunion committee is asking for help captioning all these photos of the attendees at their tables. Please identify yourselves in the comments!

Amazing 50th class reunion event for 150 - excellent catering and support. Gorgeous venue - wall murals were gorgeous and barn atmosphere outstanding. Highly recommend for big events.
