Hi Classmate;
The 50th Reunion Is only two weeks away!
With only two weeks to go, we are sitting at 85 total attendees
for the Saturday night event at the Crowne Plaza. There is
still time for last minute signups to get in on the fun:

Our Friday night ”pot luck” event at French Park has 35
classmates signed up. This is the less formal event that is
similar to the gathering at the 45th reunion at the
WYC clubhouse. Even if you can’t make any of the other events,
there will be lots of classmates that would love to see you.
It’s casual and all are invited. We hope all is going well with
you and very much hope to see you at our 50th Class Reunion! See
who is attending:

At the Reunion…
The Saturday night event at the Crowne Plaza is casual dress and
we will have a sit-down buffet-style dinner along with a cash
bar and dessert. Rumor has it that there may be some dancing
and music! Everyone attending will get a chance to try to match
the faces (after 50 years) along with the pictures on the
badges. Each reunion, the differences are more interesting than
ever. We plan to have a story wall and will have posters of
every grade school class during our time as students at
Wayzata. While we know most of the people in the photos, there
are still some mystery grade-school buddies that we haven’t
managed to identify.
Everyone will receive a printed directory of the most current
information that we have for each of our class with complete
contact information. We have not made one of these for many
years, so here’s your chance to find some of your friends that
you’ve lost touch with.
One of life’s mysteries:
Where are we after 50 years?
It’s great that we are still in touch with 175 or our
classmates, which is an accomplishment after 50 years. Sadly
we’ve lost some of our friends, too and we will give them their
own spot at the event to remember them.

If you can’t join us…
Drop us line, send us a photo and we will share it with
everyone. Send to:
wayzata1968@gmail.com We will take some photos over the
weekend and get them posted to our website sometime after the
event. We may even try to live-stream some video. Do you have
any memorabilia or old photos to share? Please send it to us so
that we can share it.
It’s not too late, but the clock is ticking………
We know that there is no better time than the present to decide
to join us. The more, the merrier! We are all 50 years older
and wiser, so you’re on equal footing with the rest of us!
Simply visit our reunion pages and sign up. Need help or have a
special request? Let us know and we’ll try to assist:
