News From the Class of 1960

Thanks to Bruce Dietrich, the Class of 1960 now has a basic website. It features photos from the 40th and 45th reunions (awaiting captions), news about the date for the 50th reunion, and a list of missing classmates.

The dates for the Class of 1960's 50th reunion are July 30 & 31, 2010. The location is still to be determined.

The website also has a list of "missing" classmates. Since people from many classes visit this blog, I'm going to post the names of the "missing" here, too. If you have any contact information about the following members of the Madison Central High School Class of 1960, please contact Bruce (there's contact information on the Class of 1960 website), or send me an email and I'll forward it to him. Here's the list:

John Barnett (no photo in the 1960 Tychoberahn)
Jack Blankenheim
Nancy Cheesbro (last name Chesebro in 1960 Tychoberahn)

And if you're still trying to match a face with the name, here's a photo of the first string of the Madison Central High School 1959 football team. Bruce Dietrich is number 70.



Notes on the photo (double click on the image to enlarge it in your browser window): The photo is from the 1960 Tychoberahn. It was originally printed across two pages, so the above scanned image shows a crease through Bill Tompkins. According to the caption, the players in the first row (in this case the back row) are, from left to right: John Colletti, Ed Corcoran, Ken Grauvogl, and Junior Harris. The players in the front row are, from left to right: Nick Fiore, Bruce Dietrich, Bill Olson, Ed Allen, John Novick, Bill Tompkins, and Arnie Jensen.
