Class of 1969 – 40th Reunion

Posted by mcauleyhighschool on July 1, 2009

Saturday, June 27, 2009, Easy Street Café, downtown Toledo.

 

A wonderful time was had by all and we were especially appreciative of Kathy Farkas’s traveling all the way from Prescott Valley Arizona, Jackie Elder traveling from Craryville (Hudson Valley), New York, Mary Pat Nahacky traveling from Franklin, Tennessee, and Michelle Alger from Benton Harbor, Michigan, to be with us.  Karen Mundwiler came a little late due to another commitment, and missed the photo.  With 28 in attendance that was nearly one-third of our graduating class.
