Our Webmaster is on a well-deserved vacation with his family and will work on photos when he returns to Sweden.

How was the reunion? Can't wait to see the pictures.......

Tom, this is absolutely amazing!! Kudos to you and all the effort put into this so ALL of us from HHS, '78 can enjoy these wonderful memories. All my yearbooks were destroyed,so as you could imagine, this is a treat! Looking forward to seeing all "the gang" with many mixed feelings of anticipation, yes-a queasy stomach,excitement,trepidation and of coarse excitement. Most have gone our separate ways and have many varied stories; however we all share a common background as this site has so beautifully demonstrates. Can't wait for Fri & Sat!! See you all there!

This is wild! I could get lost in here. It's funny how I can't remember the names of anyone I knew in my 20's, but show me a 4th grade picture and I can name everyone! Those grade school, middle school memories are amazing. I will look this weekend for any picture I can dredge up. I think I have one class picture not posted here.

Kevin Carboni lives in LaCrosse and I spoke to him the other day and tried to guilt him into coming to the reunion with Paul Patros, who also lives in LaCrosse. Kevin owns his own advertising agency and his home phone # is 1-608-784-9304. Feel free to call him collect since he is not coming to the reunion. (Gotcha Kevin!!)

John Osborne		11-Jun-2008 02:33
Yay Tom. Great job. Sorry I couldn't be there.

Wendy Raymond		11-Jun-2008 02:32
I've had a blast seeing how much fun we managed to have even during those crazy years of trying to grow up. The website is wonderful, Tom, and it definitely pushed me over the edge to make the trip to Wisconsin. It will be great to reconnect with so many people. I'm looking forward to hearing lots of funny stories. Wendy

Thanks Tom for all your time and efforts but most of all for editing the photos that Eddie sent to you,LOL.It was sad to see the members of our class that we have lost but your tribute page was great and made me reflect on how lucky I am to be alive. I wish I could be there to remember the past but I know I wouldn't remember it the same way as McMichael. It was great getting in touch with Jody Wallner, Lois Wagner, and Whittet on e-mail. If you ever come to Vancouver WA. you can stay with us!Love to you all, Debbie Lawson....Hey Stern where are you?

Carmen Sayner		07-Jun-2008 14:52
Mark Stempel - You didn't say that you were going to be at the reunion...you better be there!!!!

CRC		07-Jun-2008 07:03
"Great to see all the NEW posts!"

Mark Stempel (nee Stempel)		06-Jun-2008 20:19
Wow... talk about a flood of memories coming back! These reunions sure do have a way of making your mind race a million miles a minute! Tom, THANK YOU for the time and effort you put into this site... There's a lot of people smiling right about now because of you! I'll never forget the time in a school swim class that you told me that you had an extra muscle in your knee, that most people didn't have, that made you a faster swimmer... and I bought it! Please don't tell Scroggins about the reunion because I know he's going to call me "Stemp the Pimp" again! I just got off the phone with Mark Foote who told me he's been texting Dave Springhetti, (who is sitting in jury duty in Houston as I write this... June 6th, 2:40 pm)and is trying to get him to fly in for the reunion. Also... if anyone is passing through West Bend, you'll have to stop in at a store called "Somedays"... it's a small gift store that Kim Freyer (sorry... no married names allowed during "reunion talk") owns. I think the last time I saw her was at least 15 years ago, but thankfully, some things never change... she still talks a mile a minute without taking a breath! (still not sure how she does that) So when you see her at the reunion, get as much in as you can, as quickly as you can about your life and then just sit back! Sorry Kim! And I'm happy to report after all these years that I've finally learned the secret about Melan... The nose, mustache and glasses came as a matched gift set at birth and he just never took them off! (sorry Mike... not really!) well... I have a 15 year old girl and it's been a whole 15 minutes since the last crisis, so I'd better get going before the next one erupts! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this phase of their lives! Also, if anyone ever sees Mark Kelch, please let him know that I am sorry to this day that I hung his gym bag up on a door hinge in the cafeteria by his jock strap! What the heck was I thinking... he could've beat the crap out of me! I tell that story to my kids and tell them never to mess with a gymnast or a wrestler. The gymnasts are freaky strong and the wrestlers are just flat out crazy! Yeah.. it's pretty sad that after 47 years, those are the only words of wisdom I can come up eith!!

Tom, you did a great job on the website and it is fun to see all the new and past photos of everyone. I wish I could make it to the reunion, I haven't been back to Wisconsin since 1980. Eddie it was good to hear from you again. Any word from Kevin Carboni? By coincidence my mother ended up playing bridge with Kevin's Mom in Virginia a couple years back and I talked to him then, but haven't heard from him since. Best to all and have a great time at the reunion. If anyone happens to make their way to Connecticut let me know it would be great to see you. Andy

Jamie (Frank) Lynch		31-May-2008 01:00
Nicely done Tom! Thanks for making it possible to look back at fun memories, and share a bit about who we are now. The photos are great!!! Thanks also to Suzie and Cindy~ I am sure putting the reunion together took a lot of time and energy. I am looking forward to a great 30th reunion! Hugs,Jamie

Ca rmen(Sayner)Rideout		29-May-2008 03:14
Tom, this is so much fun! Jamie(Frank)Lynch called me today and told me about this. I am not sure if I can be at the reunion but this makes me want to try my best to be there. Thank you so much for the time and effort putting this together. I will try to get some pics to you...Everyone looks beautiful!!!!!Peace and love, Carmen P.S. If anyone of you are driving through Sheridan, Wyoming give me a call! 307-751-7610

Kim (Freyer) Hahn		24-May-2008 20:27
Tom! This site is great~ you've done an outstanding job reminiscing and making the past seem like just yesterday. It's truly amazing what you remember from Mr. Bahrke's 5th grade class and our shared year there. I'm looking forward to the reunion... thanks in a HUGE part to all your efforts! Kim (Freyer) Hahn

Chuck		24-Apr-2008 06:48
Just wanted to thank Tom for the update on the tribute/dedication page. It was sad to learn of the old friends that have gone long before they should have, and really made me take the time to look back and recall the good times we had, and the friends that are too easily forgotten as the years pass by. I see Denise has requested I post some pics, I'll see what I can do about that.

Guest		23-Apr-2008 04:28
Tom you have done an amazing job on this. Alot of time, I'm sure! Hey Chuck Conrad lets see your pic. I think everyone needs to get there updated photo in. I can't make it back for the reunion, so this is a nice way to catch up on people. Denise (Behnke)

Chuck Conrad		14-Apr-2008 17:16
Awesome site! Nice to know most of us are alive and doing just fine. Time does in fact fly by. Ed? I think he's the man that actually located me!

Tom & Helene Suh		09-Apr-2008 13:11
There is one in "new photos" and one from Mr. Diedrich's 5th grade class.

Guest		09-Apr-2008 11:10
Where's are the pictures or Eddie?

Tom & Helene Suh		25-Mar-2008 05:53
Jo, glad you finally got a peek at the photo gallery. Would love to hear more from you. Also, if you run into any other classmates let them know about the reunion. Kevin Scroggins is found now. He was on a "missing classmates" list. He sent a photo and a biography which is posted. I am encouraging others to do the same. Tom

Josephine		25-Mar-2008 02:19
Hello Tom I ran into Kevin Scroggins a couple of years ago. I thought he was working for the electric company. Married with a couple of kids.Don't quote me on that... How is everyone doing? This web site is great! Thank you for putting it all together. Everyone was so cute when they were youngins. Arm wrestling anyone?

jim mcmichael		08-Feb-2008 14:58

Scroggins? hey someone must know where he is at. he must be found! please do not post any pictures of Ed Matejov, for obvious reasons. thanks, jim mcmichael class of '78
