Moline High Class of 1961 Ring Found!

We have a great 50th reunion story. A Moline Class of 1961 ring was found at Dorance Park in Port Byron, Illinois. It was found about 30 years ago. The ring is small and it appears to be a girl's. It has a green stone (emerald). We are looking for the owner. The ring was inscribed. If the owner can properly identify it, the finder will return it. Please contact Darrel Hagberg (309-762-0384). We thank the finder for contacting the Committee.

Junior Talley To Perform "A Tribute to Elvis" At Our 50th Reunion

Junior Talley will perform "A Tribute to Elvis" on July 23, 2011, at our reunion at the Oakwood Country Club in Coal Valley, Illinois. Junor is reknown for his interpretation and presentation of the "King." He is an eleven time National and ten time World Finalist at the "Images of Elvis Competition" and  has preformed over a 1000 concerts. Junior Talley began his career as an "Elvis impersonator" in 1989 where he entertained a hand full of business owners at a Chamber of Commerce function. The applause and reception of that audience turned Junior's simple love of singing Elvis' music into a life-time career and passion for entertaining. Winning several annual talent contests gave him the esteem that would help him perfect his talent for entertaining people.
