Glasgow, MT High School Class of 1996

06/22/2026

☀️ Weekend Weather Update for the Reunion –

Classic Montana June: warm days, surprise rain, and zero chance it’ll stop us from having a blast. We’ve survived high school together — a little weather doesn’t stand a chance.

💨Friday Evening – Glasgow, MT
Highs in the mid-70s with a chance of scattered showers or a dramatic thunderstorm rolling in later. Perfect timing for pizza at Sam & Jeff’s — we’ll just call it “free dramatic lighting” and keep the party going. Pizza will still arrive dry… probably.

🌦️Saturday Afternoon & Evening – Fort Peck / Stathos Cabin
Highs around 75–78°F with a decent chance of pop-up showers or thunderstorms. Not to fret about the lake day though — there’s plenty of covered porch, cabin space, and zero shortage of time for games, stories, and laughter at the cabin. If it pours, we’ll just turn the snake dance indoor. Bring a light jacket for evening and we’ll make the most of it no matter what! 🔥

🥂Sunday Morning – Glasgow
Milder, around the low 70s with a mix of sun and clouds. Ideal for a relaxed send-off brunch at the Cottonwood.

See everyone soon!

Final Reunion Update: Class of ’96 – Ready to Go

Our hearts were heavy Tuesday as we sat with Matt and his family after losing Marky. 💔 It’s moments like this that remind us how strong the bond of this class really is — no matter who sat at your lunch table years ago.

Onto the reunion stuff… food is locked in.

Pizza is ordered (Bobbi, we got your request 👍🏻). Rocky’s “keep it simple” plan quickly turned into him spilling his secret scotcharoo recipe with DeAnna, expect some legendary treats.

Quick Weekend Schedule Reminder:

- Friday, June 26 – Sam & Jeff’s
4:00 pm cocktail hour, pizza ~5:00 pm. After 6:00 pm, bring family, friends, and favorite teachers to stop in and say hi.
📣We'll get Ms Bachtold Valley County's official Social Media dispatcher to help spread the word.

- Saturday, June 27– Stathos Cabin (85 Poverty Ridge)
Lake Day starts at Noon. BYOB, bring a snack if you can. Gary & Sandy are handling pulled pork, beans & potato salad at 4:00 pm (Ryan’s bringing buns).
📷 Class photo at 5:00 pm Tshirts for everyone! 👕
Hang out, hit the lake, and stay as late as you want. Mel’s heading to Footloose the musical at Fort Peck Summer Theatre🎶 (7:00 pm) — join her for some childhood nostalgia! See fortpecktheatre.org for tickets. Maybe head back for a campfire 🔥 if the party is still rolling

-Sunday, June 28– Cottonwood Lounge
Muffins& fruit at 10:00 am. Come for final laughs and safe travel wishes.

Bonus idea:💡 Big Brother Mike Pehlke (Class of ’93) stopped by and offered a suggestion for a Saturday morning tour at the High School to see what’s changed (and what hasn’t). Interested? Let’s discuss over pizza Friday night.

💵All meals and shirts will be free will donation to cover expenses. The class bank account will be closed out in an attempt to save the earth 🌎 from monthly statements that would remain unopened over the next 10 years. Monies leftover will be donated to causes we all feel are impactful to the class. 💙🤎♥️💚

If you haven’t RSVP’d yet, please do it soon.

🕕 Reunion Update: Ryan’s Back at It & We’re One Meeting Away from Greatness

Ryan has officially rallied the troops for one last planning meeting before showtime. All classmates are welcome — come pre-game the reunion, throw in some ideas, or just show up for moral support.

🗓 Planning Meeting
Tuesday, June 9th at 6:00 pm
Sam & Jeff’s

Agenda includes finalizing pizza orders (got a favorite? Speak now or forever hold your pepperoni), tallying up registration numbers for Gary’s BBQ, and other "important" reunion business. Pulled pork and fixings are locked in for Saturday. 🥩Hopefully Patrick got his Gary steak fix at Sunnyside County Club last night.

We’ve got some solid attendance numbers rolling in, and we’d love to see even more of you. If you’ve been waiting to see who else was coming (or not coming 👀), now’s the time — jump in! The more the merrier.

Quick Weekend Recap:

- Friday, June 26 → Activity #1 at Sam & Jeff’s starting at 4:00 pm. 🍕Cocktail hour, pizza served around 5:00 pm for reunion guests. After 6:00 pm the public is invited — tell your family, friends, favorite teachers, and old staff to swing by and say hi!

- Saturday, June 27→🚤🏖️🩴 Fort Peck Lake Day at the Stathos Cabin starting at noon. Snacks, apps, boating, games, and good times all day. 🥛🍺🧉BYOB and bring some snacks to share (or cleverly hide your favorites in the cooler, we won’t judge).
- Gary will serve up dinner around 4:00 pm, followed by the official 📸Class Photo at 5:00 pm. The rest of the evening is yours — hang out, camp out… just be out by Monday so Tom & Linda can get their paradise cabin back.

Bonus: 🎭Footloose is performing at the Fort Peck Summer Theatre Friday and Saturday at 7pm. Because of course it is — that movie basically raised us. Nothing screams "I grew up in the 80's" like watching Kevin Bacon fight for our right to dance🪩🤘🏻🎶👩🏻‍🎤🎸

-Sunday, June 28→☕🥞🍊 Send-Off Brunch at The Cottonwood from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. (We probably should’ve scheduled it for 6:00 am since we’ve all officially reached “that age” where we wake up with the birds.)

Come out, have some laughs, and help us make this 30-year reunion one for the books.

Drop a 🖤 below if you’re planning to join us and your pizza request.

Sending love to Tana Furhman. She lost her dad and brother in the past couple weeks.

As many of you have probably already heard, Tadd passed away unexpectedly. He battled many health problems for the last 8 years behind the scenes quietly.

Tadd would not want his employees to suffer financially so we will be open as we are able.

Please allow us time and privacy to grieve.
We will throw a celebration of life party at a future date.

Hold your loved ones close. 💔

Thanks for all your support over the years.

😂 Reunion Update: The Chaos Continues… and y’all are loving it.

First off, the attention is getting us spammed - little do these bots know they are wasting their time - they don't know we KNOW everyone - see this post for the official tshirt communication!

Over 5,000 views on the last post. That’s over half of Valley County laughing at us. We should’ve known this would happen — we had T.Ed as our commencement speaker in ‘96. The teachers and administration were sweating bullets, wondering which lane the class clown was going to take. Legend has it Mr. Viara was one step away from inventing a remote mic kill-switch… which probably inspired his famous holiday light shows. You’re welcome, G-Town.

Current Planning Updates:
Gary is locked in for Saturday BBQ at the lake — traditional pulled pork or burgers for the normal people… and of course one very special steak for Patrick. You guys can arm wrestle for it. We’ll sell tickets.

We’ve now reached classmates from California to Maryland (and yes, we hear there’s one brave soul in South Carolina — Jeremie, you out there?!).

New Jotform T-shirt survey is live! Even if you’ve already RSVP’d, please go back into the form and answer the T-shirt question. We’re just trying to get a rough estimate of how many we’ll order. If we get over 20 interested, we’ll circle back with sizes, quantities, and (if you’re lucky) maybe a little input on the design.
We’ll just see what direction Carielle takes us… Brent is on standby to keep things classy.
Side note: Carielle is basically turning this into her the annual girls trip. Consider this your formal warning.😳

Patrick’s daily coffee chats have produced zero new contacts so far. We’re still sitting at about 50% RSVPs (counting the No's - and one Hell No). We need more of you to jump in so we know how much food (and steak) to order.

Still waiting to hear from these legends:
Brian B, Brad, Celeste, Scarlett, Brian C, Matt, Tana F, Joe, Malisha, Angela H, Somer (!), Jennifer, Jeremiah, Ryan J, T.Ed, Sam, Jeremie, Mike, Amy, Tino, Stephani P, Josh, the Schultz’s, Justin, Heather K, Andrea, Tribby, John T, Tana M, Siobhan, Stephanie W, Laura, Arthur, Levi, Zeller, Chaz.

Come on guys — don’t make Patrick hunt you down in Glasgow. Please tag, text or just call any of these people, we really do want to see them

Drop your info in the Jotform, vote on the t-shirt, and let’s make this 30-year reunion worth the wait!
Who’s in?

😂 Last night’s reunion planning meeting was pure chaos (in the best way possible).

After furiously going through the class list, messaging everyone, and getting distracted by endless “what are they doing now?” stories, Ryan finally got us back on agenda. Apparently his “I’ll make breakfast for everyone” ambition has completely dwindled since the last meeting. Turns out 10 years later, he’s also aged 10 years — no more all-nighters!

So we’re officially moving Sunday Brunch to The Cottonwood on Sunday at 10am. Fruit, muffins, or just order whatever you want — eggs, Bloody Marys, pancakes, regret… the menu is yours - so is the bill.

DeAnna has officially been crowned Social Media Queen of Valley County. She friended half the county and probably knows what your cousin’s dog had for dinner last Tuesday. If you haven’t gotten the Jotform in your messages yet, check again… or just ask your grandma, she has all the connections. Sign up or gracefully decline — either way, we just wanna hear from you.

Tyler was bartending last night, clearly with zero intention of participating in the meeting. But every time he came by to drop off drinks, Melani tried to draft him into planning duties like she was recruiting for the reunion military. As the night went on, we somehow ended up with a new bartender… coincidence? We’ll never know.

Patrick is still fighting for his life to get Gary Maczka’s steak on Saturday night. The rest of the committee is pushing for kabobs or some normal BBQ, but Patrick is out here acting like it’s a hunger strike until he gets that ribeye. Prayers for the committee.

Melani showed up with the class list in hand, delegated most of the messaging to the guys, and dipped with pure “See you June 26th” energy — completely ignoring Ryan’s desperate plea to schedule the next planning meeting.

President Nate was working from home ready to hit up his entire contacts list, even if you already signed up. Because let’s be real — this is technically his reunion.

A few mailers are going out to folks we still can’t track down. If Patrick doesn’t find you first… because apparently he sees everyone in Glasgow on a daily basis. Good luck hiding.

Several signups rolled in throughout the night and we’re pumped for more!

Drop your name in the Jotform, bring your stories (and your tolerance for Patrick’s steak obsession), and let’s make this reunion one for the books!

Who’s coming? 👀
