Looking forward to attending.

The TF Riggs High School Class of \'78 website has been updated for our 35th Reunion this coming July! Registration fees can be paid online or mailed. Make plans to be in Pierre the 5th and 6th and join your friends and classmates for what promises to be...a great time!! See you then!Kerry

78ers, I look forward to seeing all who can attend our 35th reunion. If you see a classmate , please ask them if they plan to attend and to somehow get a hold of the planning committee.  Special thanks to those on the planning committee for all ther wonderful ideas and efforts.

Looking forward to catching up on everyone\'s lives at the 35 year reunion.See everyone there - Have a Great 2012and give Kerry 1,000 % support on this,She\'s doing an excellent job - Thanks

Thanks Vince! There\'s a committee - Dan Sahr and a group of classmates living in the Pierre area. It\'s a team effort and we love doing it! Happy to hear you plan on attending!

nice site just found out about it after talking to kurt woodard

78ers, sounds like a great time in Deadwood. The pictures prove that. Thanks to all who attended and those who helped put the whole weekend on.  When is the next get together ?

Just finished looking through the pictures of the Deadwood trip.  Really great to see so many familiar faces.  I should have made it out there, did not check the site so I did not know it was coming up.  Maybe next year!

Deadwood 2010 Photo Album is now up...including the photo you requested Tim.  Can\'t wait to see some of the others from the weekend! 

What a weekend!!  We had a great turn out and lots of fun.  Hopefully there will be pictures (especially the one you ladies took at 1 pm Saturday) posted on the website soon.  Looking forward to hearing discussion on the "we turned 53" reunion to be possibly held the second weekend of September, 2013  in Deadwood.

Deadwood was so much fun!  My jaws are aching from laughing and my legs are aching from climbing Mt Moriah. (Thanks for putting up with my whining and bitching, Beth and Susan. I promise I will be in better shape next time.)  Everyone looked great (for a bunch of 44 year olds anyway)!  We have pictures to prove it!  Hope everyone made it home safe and sound.  Can\'t wait for our next adventure!  Deadwood will never be the same.  

I\'m truly sorry I can\'t make it to this get together.  The bike rally is nothing to a crowd like you guys.  Remember, a teaspoon of pepto after every beer, in bed by 9, and wear a cap if it\'s chilly. 

Depending on the weather situations, I still plan to be at the Elkhorn Ridge Golf Club, Spearfish at 1:00 PM Mtn. Time, if still raining at 3:00, then I\'ll have a cuppacino or something & head to Deadwood a little later.See You All Soon!  We will miss all of the classmates of 78, that because of other priorities you are unable to attend.  Hope you had a Great 50th Birthday!Thank You,Laurie Schumacher

GOLF UPDATEThere\'s very little interest in the golf thing so I\'m suggesting that whoever wants to play.....just show up. So far just one team on Fri., but Sat. may be different.I\'m thinking that on Fri. night during cocktails we\'ll put a few teams together and work from there.The importance of this to have a good time...golf or not.So far it\'s Hanson,Clelland,Gordon,Doyle,Birdsall,Buhler,Nold,Laurie Schumacher,Mickelson,Furyk and Couples..We will probably scrap the structured scramble type tourney and do the A.two person best ballB.cart vs. cart....or,C.Skin\'s game.Either way we all have fun.If anyone has a suggestion pleas let me know,otherwise we\'ll meet on Fri. night and figure it out.GOT THAT DONNI?? omg,lol, gfyycsmfi.

Hope you all have a great time.  Sorry to have to miss another reunion.  We are hosting get-together for a group of 76\'ers in Tahoe at the same time.  Cheers and Happy 50th to all!

Hey 78ers -Unfortunately the demands of work (big meeting Sept 13-14) will keep me from joining our youthful group in Deadwood. Have one for me (yep, still Bud) and somebody please yell "Buhler" really loud when he first walks in the door.- Derek

Updated information for the September get-together can be found on the Deadwood page.Also, there is a new album set up on the Photo Album page titled "50th Birthday Celebrations" for any of you who would like to share a little bit of your special day, week, month or year.

 Wow, I\'ts been awhile since I\'ve seen or heard from any classmates. I\'m looking forward to seeing alot of you in Deadwood. Chip says to find a team for golf. Can I interest three people to play a round and catch up?

Donni Gordon..Fosters????...last I heard ,you were NOTsupposed to drink because the estrigen meds would have a neg. reaction to your sex change in Oct. Either way, we all support you at this time.See you in Deadwood, DonniJeez,I hope I got that "security" code right since it\'s one inch below my type.

Golly Chippy....I appreciate all your support and I want you to know I am a huge supporter of the humane society.  You hang in there now and for God\'s sakes stay off the roads...especially around dusk.

I say at the first tee box everyone has to shoot a Fosters Lager and then at the end we can have a keg race.........Chippy?

Lets get rollin\'  Bet I can stay up later than you!  Any takers?

DUH !!! I finally figured this out...on my own(almost)thanks Kerry.If I had kids they could have saved me 3 hours of attempted messages.As you\'re aware..I did not take typing at Riggs..would have been very unfair to the teacher,whoever that was.Here is a brief AND tentative schedule on the golf at Deadwood.Fri.11am-four tee times are reserved at the new course in Spearfish(8 miles from Deadwood).Sat.9am-seven tee times are reserved at Tomahawk (Deadwood /Lead)course.Pin prizes are abound for less adept.WHO\'S IN????  finally,whoever takes this golf thing seriously will receive knobbies and monkey bumps from everyone.I\'m sorry I missed the big one at Pierre, sounds like you young bucks and does (and you too Don Gordon) had a good time.NOW...we changed the policies in jr. high...we did it again in high school......so lets show those west river Deadwood people how a real group of gray haired,no haired,or colored haired people party.CHIPPY

Deadwood  Be there!  You won\'t regret it!

A startling revelation from infrequent site monitoring is learning the heartbreaking news about Kelly. Incurably sweet, disarmingly attractive, and always willing to help a classmate. Subtly setting example by making life look easy. I loved those congenial moments when we crossed paths, and delight in knowing someone so endearing in character. 

The hills will be so beautiful in September.  So excited to see everyone. :)

Hi Everyone!  Just got back from Spearfish and the Hills are beautiful!  Hope all is well and looking forward to seeing you in September. 

Bill and I are coming back to visit July 4-8.  Will anyone be a Marso on the first Weds night in July?  If so we would like to catch up.  We will be camping out at Farm Island.  Unfortunatley we will not be able to go to Deadwood for the birthday bash later this year.  Hope to see you at Marso\'s!Anne

Feigum Funeral Home has a guest book for those who would like to sign it in rememberance of Kelly.  www.feigumfh.com

I was so sorry to hear about Kelly.  I think that she was one of the kindest persons I\'ve known. Lets all keep her sons and family in our prayers.  Be safe everyone...

I will be ordering flowers from the Class of \'78 since she was a class officer

78ers,  Kelly will be missed by all of us. Please remeber her and all of our 78 classmates who have passed away.

I am sorry to inform my classmates of the loss this weekend of Kelly Irion, who was killed in a motorcycle accident.  She will be missed by many of us. 

So sorry to hear about Kelly.  We ran away together when we were 4 to Piggly Wiggly.  She was a lot of fun and a great person.  Have fun at your reunion.  Try to do it Class of 77 style  : )

It is such a sad day for our class and for the many people who had the joy of knowing Kelly. Rest in peace, our dear friend.

Hope you all had a nice Holiday Season, and I\'msure the Easter Holiday will be Great!Hang in there, Stay Cool!!  See You in 09/10!Have a Great Day!Laurie Schumacher

Just got sad news about our classmate Kim. I will always remember those special times we all had at the park on Monroe close to Kims house.

I'm one of the old guys 10/14/1959. See you in Sept. I will have a 30 min. drive but I'll  try to fit it in. Tomahawk CC is a great golf course, just up the road from Deadwood on Hwy. 385. 

Happy New Decade!

 Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!  And...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Merry Christmas Classmates!!! I hope every one of you has a very Happy New Year and that only good things come your way!

Brent Pries was named as the 2009 outstanding farmer and rancher by the Pierre Agri-Interest Committee. The award was presented during the committee’s annual Ag Appreciation Banquet Saturday night.  

Happy Thanksgiving Class of 78.  Wishing you all well.

Thanks Connie for listing these!  Happy Belated Birthday to those classmates who have already made the plunge and to those that are coming up soon!  Looking forward to seeing everyone in Deadwood in September!
