Thanks to the hard working Reunion Committee and all attendees at the Lourdes HS 55th reunion over the weekend 7-31 to 8-2 2015 (especially those coming from a great distance). It was a wonderful celebration! Below is a handsome group photo taken by Dick Christiansen on Saturday evening 8/1 (not including spouses and guests). Most of the (I count 40) classmates are saying "cheese" and are looking at the camera. A slide show of the 3-day event will also be added to this site as the photos are distilled from the many cameras. Click on the photo below to enlarge. The second photo from a slightly different angle is by Jim Walsh, Ann (Wiesler) Casey's guest.
