Our 60th Class Reunion Is Being Planned For 2023
60th Anniversary Reunion Committee
Greetings
We have great news. Our belated Moline High School Class of 1961 60th Anniversary Reunion will be held at the Oakwood Country Club on May 6, 2023, from 5 to 9 PM, in Coal Valley, Illinois. This happens to be the same location where we held our 50th Reunion. The committee has decided to have Pizza in lieu of a large dinner for this event. A “Cash Bar” will be provided. The charges for the reunion will be $35 per classmate and $35 per spouse / guest. Classmates will be allowed to bring up to 2 guests at $35 per guest.
In February 2023, we will post the registration form on our Web Site and on our Facebook page. Also, we will send the registration form to those that have a valid Email address with us.
Please mark your calendar for this event and let our other classmates know. Further information will follow in February.
Your Reunion Committee wishes you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Lost But Not Forgotten
Our reunion committee member, Karen McCright, continues her efforts to find
missing classmates. This is a very difficult task, particularly in finding
our female classmates because of name changes that occur when they are
married. Therefore, you will noticed that the number of male classmates to
female classmates who have passed is 2 to 1. This is probably inaccurate
because of the difficulty in finding our female classmates. We wish to honor
all of our classmates and we will continue our efforts in finding them. At
this point in our lives, it would be extremely lucky if more than 50 percent
of classmates are still with us. As of October 24, 2022, we have identified
157 classmates that we know have passed. The truth is that probably at least
256 have passed out of a class of 538. Our best estimate is that an
additional 99 classmates are probably no longer with us and we need to
memorialize them. Our efforts will continue as long as possible. In the
future, you will begin to see many belated obits for those who have passed.
We hope that you understand our concerns.
