Looking forward to revisiting Minnesota and my old hometown! We've lived on both coasts, Portland, OR to Boston, MA, but have spent the past 35+ years in Mich. and now Indiana. Midwesterners through and through. I retired from teaching (kdg.,early literacy) 3 years ago and I'm now enjoying lots of travel, gardening, reading(of course), church ministries and grandparenting! Our youngest daughter lives near us with her family which includes 2 sets of twins (ages 5 years and 20 months). We have 3 other grandsons who visit often. What a joy!!

www.americanheritagehuntingclub.com ww.americanheritagehuntingclub.com Married 2 ahhc@midwestinfo.net Do I know now more than I ever did then, yes! Did we get the best start from high school, yes! Could we have done better or more, yes! (A couple of do overs would be nice. RIGHT! I bet we all tried to do the best we could have at the time or even now. For some of us, the future is yet to be our greatest days! It is not who we thought we were, or who we became to be, who we are now, but what we will do to transfer our knowledge of what we know now to the future generations. It is what we will be remembered for, our legacy. See some of you soon!

Hi to you all,
It's very hard to believe that 50 years have gone by! But, I have 2 great-grandchildren now, so I know I am OLD!!
I married Dave Trelease in 1995 in Vegas, and even Elvis came to sing a few somgs to our family and friends in attendance! Dave has 2 children, so between us, we have 4 children and 8 grandchildren. Two grandchildren have graduated from college already, and two of them are identical twin boys! And, they are all healthy! So, we have much to be thankful for!
We currently spend 8 months in Florida and 4 months at our summer place in Michigan. It's a wonderful life when you can wear shorts, and be on the water, 12 months out of the year! We love the casual life on Fort Myers Beach, and will be here until we can't remember what we had for breakfast! Then we plan to move into a lifecare village that is in Fort Myers, still along the water!
We are now both retired. Dave retired in 1999, and I was downsized in 2006. I probably would still be working if I wasn't let go! But, I found out it was really the people I loved, not the job!
After retirement, I started to Chair the Social Committee at our place in FL, signed up for a local Town Advisory Board, and then was a Board Member in Florida for two years. I'm also currently on the Board of the Diamond Lake Yacht Club, which is the lake we are on during our summers in Michigan. Dave and I also volunteer for events the Chamber of Commerce hosts on the island. So, all of these volunteer jobs have kept me busy. You know what they say about an idle mind....
Dave and I enjoy traveling and have been on numerous cruises to Asia, Italy, Greece, Panama, etc. We also enjoy our various road trips within the USA.
I am anxious to see all of my Hopkins High School classmates and catch up with all of you!
See you in August!
Love,
Marilyn

I transferred into Hopkins High School from Minneapolis on the first day of my senior year, so I didn't really get to know too many people. I hope you remember me. I was, and still am, that skinny guy. =========================== I attended my very first high school reunion for the 50th year celebration of the Class of 1963 at The Marsh in Minnetonka on August 10, 2013. There was very good attendance and delicious food. This was a once in a lifetime event and I am glad I was able to go. =========================== I enjoyed going to the 51st class reunion at Tuttle's in Hopkins on Saturday, September 13, 2014. I’m sorry that Larry Helgerson was under the weather and unable to stay very long. Although I do not know most of my classmates, it is still good to meet and talk with them. ============================ I enjoyed seeing and meeting many of you for our 70th birthday party at Kip's Irish Pub & Restaurant in St. Louis Park on September 12, 2015. There was a good turnout. =========================== I attended the 55-year Class Reunion at the Elks Lodge in Hopkins on August 17, 2018. Although I didn’t know a lot of people, I enjoyed seeing everyone. I want to thank all the dedicated committee members who worked hard to bring us together. Thank you Verna and Committee Members. I can’t say I am surprised that we will be unable to celebrate our 75th birthdays, but I am glad that we won’t be putting ourselves in harms way. It shows that our generation is acting more responsibly to a very unfortunate situation. My parents, like many of yours, were born into the pandemic of 1918 with fewer resources to contend with the situation. I wish they were alive today so I could ask them how did they manage. I appreciate very much what you all have done to bring us together over the past years. I turned 75 today and I will be “celebrating” alone with a frozen pizza and a bottle of Corona Extra. But there is no rule we can’t celebrate another year, God willing we will still be around. I feel so blessed I am still here. So, until we meet again, thank you again for all you do.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and know I will go away feeling like I haven't had enough time visiting with ya'll. My latest adventure has been our move to Texas from Minneapolis. I am in a wonderful but alien country and slowly learning to feel comfortable. Winters are wonderful, Summers are beastly, the deer are small, fishing is great (free in all the State Parks), no state income tax and on twice the amount of land, property taxes are less than MN. I have two spare bedrooms and love to have company. Oh, I live in an airplane hangar at an air park in East Texas. It is truly an adventure.

What a wonderful event the 50th reunion was.Congratulations and THANK YOU to Larry Helgerson and the rest of the committee. A great job. Time went by so fast, still didn't have enough time to talk with everyone and to spend enough time with each with whom I did. Reinforced what a GREAT experience my two years at Hopkins High was. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly. Great people. And a great experience. I look forward very much to staying in touch and welcome your doing so with me.
