I have missed the last two reunions, so this is it! It will be great fun to see everyone.

Will we recognize each other?  Hopefully, we won't all seem like we're at the wrong reunon.

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.

My name is also David Gysland and this is my father. He passed away in August of 2009.  In his life he worked as a photographer, welder and machinist.  He spent his later years woodworking and restoring the victorian house he and my mom lived in.  The stories he used to tell me when he was younger usually centered around the cars he built and drove and of course, got in trouble in!  He was good man and father.

Fifty years has flown by! The image in my brain and the mirror do not match.

I had 32 great years with classmate Sherry Gartner!  Another 16 Great years with Jane (Polkey-Else) Smith are continuing!

We have the pleasure (?) of interacting with 4 kids-3 of their spouses and 7 Grandchildren (no?)

Twice a year I get to see classmates Doug, Burt and Pete as we relive our fading dream of winning the US open.

I’ve had enough strife to stay humble and enough success to stay solvent.

I’ve had several mentors who have helped me along the way, not the least of whom was Harold Toupin from Hopkins High.

Through the years I have either worked or traveled enough around the country and the world to appreciate living in Minnesota.

Trying to retire like the rest of my friends with no success, still working like a dog in a grimy bog!

Looking forward to seeing how everyone is doing at the 50^th.

We have lived in various places in norther California for the last 40 years.  Currently reside with the mountain lions and golfers in the Lake Wildwood community.  Current interests are tennis and snow skiing.

Happily married, retired elementary school teacher.  Wish I could make the reunion, but send me an email thru link below if we were friends at Hopkins.

 High school was years of shyness and timidity. I rarely spoke, didn't date or go to social functions. The reunions have been entertaining events where I have essentually introduced myself to classmates who have no memory of me, as I am sure the 50th will be similar. 

 Fate has provided me with a parapetitic life style of five colleges, two degrees (unused), one marriage, zero offspring, and no money. I have traveled to 30 countries, motorcycled to Alaska and back, lived in Europe for a year, Alaska for two years with one year as a "man-friday" for a homestead family. I have survived many bottles and myriad injuries and exotic illnesses. I live in a small house on a small lake in a state forest with no pets or house plants. A simple life for a simple guy!

 Looking forward to connecting with those who wish to.....

 I enjoy traveling, hiking, running, cooking, hanging out with friends, and being with our three children and six grandchildren. We are not going to the reunion but would like to thank the organizers  for all of their work.
