I already found 2 mistakes, Beth Clarke & John Smith - both turn 50 this year - not next year...

I havn"t seen any updates for a while. Any word on Mike's son? I hope all is well.  I found out I"m not as tough as I used to be. On the 18th of July I was involved in a 4-wheeler accident and ended up with a broken pelvis. So I am laid up for 6 weeks. It could have been a lot worse, I will heal, it will just take time. I am looking forward to Deadwood next fall! Deadwood is one of our favorite vacation spots.  Take care all, Craig

Deadwood update. I have secured a block of rooms at the Franklin Hotel in Deadwood.  The room rate is $119.00 per night.  To reserve a room, contact the Franklin Hotel at 1-800-688-1876.  Rooms are blocked under "Pierre class of 78." A mixer is planned for Friday night, September 10, 2010, at the Franklin.  A dinner is planned for Saturday night, September 11, at the Franklin.  I am looking into having some activities available for Saturday AM for those interested.  Some of these are golf at one of the local courses or one of several tours.  There are other hotels and motels in the area if you wish to stay elsewhere.  Most of the room rates are about the same as the Franklin. More information is forthcoming and will be posted on the website.  If you have any questions, send me an email.  Spread the word around and lets have a great turn out!

Would be great to see some of you (& you know who you are...LOL). Old & dear friends that I've lost contact with over the years....please email me!

Sounds like a great idea to me!!!  I wonder what time they open :)See you then!Kerry

I encourage all 78ers to continue to use this web site as a communication mechanism with our classmates. Let anyone know we've got the web site for at least another 5 years.  Let's all make an effort to keep in touch somehow. 

People around here cannot believe how much of a blast we had at our reunion. It was great seeing so many good friends. As much as it pains me to admit, I think Dan Sahr got something dead on with his last sentence.Anyone up for a Pierre golf outing every 2 or 3 years?Derek

Hi , Loved the website!  Great job in getting it out . Just read that there might be a dvd of the powerpoint presentation. Since I can't be there this weekend I would  be interested in ordering one. (paying for it of course). Have a good time.

Wow, it is GREAT to read the bios and see all the pictures of everyone......I sure don't remember being ever voted "most miSchievous" though, don't know where you got that.....Mom always said that was Doreen and Jeri !!  Hope to get up there and see all of you, for all or part of the 30th.

Hi, I wanted to let you know that I will not be at the reunion and very bummed out. I have a twisted pelvis and been going to PT 3x a week and really don't think I can with stand the trip. Please tell everyone hello. Thanks Jeanne

Please contact me if you know the whereabouts of any of the Missing Persons on the Home Page, or if you know where their parents are - that might help also.Also to mention:  Friday is "South of the Border" anyone wishing to dress for occasion - will add more spice to the event.Saturday - just come as you are, very casual.

Looking forward to catching up with old friends, (scratch that) with young friends that are the same age as me.  The 20 yr. reunion was such a blast.  It was fun getting to know classmates that were in those other "clicks" that unfortunately I had missed the opportunity of getting to know. See you soon.

Just a Reminder - almost a month away for the big event, anyone wishing to pay for the Reunion, Golf, Cart etc... before & save a little money, and time for committee workers, send your check to me at PO Box 952, Ft Pierre SD 57532 % Class of '78.  It will help committee money takers a lot if payments are made in advance, and we'll see you all soon. CN

Looking forward to seeing everyone, I am sure some fun will be had by all!! Shelly I will probably need a golf partner again.

Great to see all the postings. Not sure if I can make it back in Aug.  Going to wedding in Madison in early June. Will have to see what we can do. I wish all of you the best.Phil

It is really great to see all the comments and pictures!  I hope you will ALL be looking for pictures.  Roxanne Smith Harrison and I would like to do a power point with some great memories.  Please, please, send some!!  thanks!barb

camping would be fun. Is there a local spot where everyone will congregate??????? bon fires??????? Serious, I never got to do that stuff in hs!!!!

the neo-johnsons are playing at sioux falls Jonnos (sp) over mother's day weekend. Anyone from here going to be there? (that is dan sahr's, david gates band). How about, is anyone going to Monk's coffee/brewery shop in SF 5/21 for their 'wine fest" (only $30/person)

A lot of you are signing the Guest Book, but forgetting the Classmate Page for your profile.  That is the best part of the web site, so we can get all the juicy details of your life!Ha!  Try to complete the Profile, it is fun to see what everyone is up to, how many children, grandkids, travels, or what your job is.  Thanks

I just got back from Sioux Falls from our 14th annual "Women's Weekend" with Pam Bonrud, Kerry Johnson Bowers and Deb Jundt Bakeberg("77), and we were talking about the reunion.  I can't wait!!  Oh, and Craig...do you have any Schmidt "Big Mouth"?

I know who stole the Senior Bench and so do the others. This should  be fun in the sun.

The pictures are great.  I will try to dig some up and get them scanned.  I am hoping to make it to some/all of the reunion.  See you there.Thanks to the organizers.

Wow - every time I come back to check things out, the website changes - and looks great.  It's been so much fun reading the bios and seeing the photos.  Man, we look good - don't we?  :) 

Looking forward to seeing everyone, well not everyone, but sounds like a great time. We'll be coming in from Atlanta.

It was great seeing the photos.  I am so glad that somebody is tech saavy enough to figure that out because I'm not.  I'm still trying to work out the details but hopefully will see everyone this summer!

Each time I run into Doreen Wagner at the ball fields or school events (yes, we ended up in the same town in San Diego County!), she asks if I'm going back for the reunion.  Sorry to say, I don't think so.  Sounds like a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed reading the profiles and viewing the photos!  Enjoy!

Where is Marinson? I aint heard from him yet. Looking forward to this one. We plan on campiing. Anyone else? I'm bring a jet ski also. See you there.

I agree with Jill.  It would be great to see more profiles and photos! 

i'm such a loser!!!  i'm in playa del carmen, mexico & i'm checking our reunion site!!!  we need more people to add their profiiles!!!  it's been so much fun to read so far.  i'm really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hi everyone!  I'm very excited to make the 30th, I hope everyone is wearing name tags cause I'm sure I won't recognize alot of you.  I haven't been to Pierre since 1986 so not sure if the loop is even the loop anymore, but can't wait to see it all and to catch up on what everyone's been doing for the past 30 yrs.  It really is true, once your out of high school the years just fly by.  See you all in July!!!

Hey everyone. Seems like yesterday at the legion! Oh yeh, that's the last time anyone signed the message boards!! do it...!! pictures too!

Greetings to all.  We need pictures!  Go through those old shoe boxes, photo albums, filing cabinets or where ever you store them and find pictures from our high school days.  Scan them and send or mail them to someone.  We want to do a power point and put it on disc for the reunion.  Hopefully have something for everyone to take home. 

I made it to the 10th, wasn't able to make the 20th, hope to make it all the way from Indiana for the 30th. Has the town changed much?

After all of the fun we had at the last one, this one should be awesome!!  Looking forward to seeing everyone, sharing memories and catching up on what's new in your lives!!

Looking forward to a trip back to Pierre and seeing everyone again.  I can't believe that it has already been 30 years!!  Luckily the class of 78 doesn't age as quickly as others ha ha..  Thanks to everyone who is putting in their time to make this reunion happen!

I haven't been to Pierre in over 20 years. I wonder if I'll remember how to get around!  I'm so looking forward to the reunion and seeing everyone again.  I can't wait for July to get here!

Well, Finally some breathing room - The Committe has most of the arrangments made.  We appologize for the delay, we had to start from scratch on addresses, married names, & even remembering our own names!   My next goal is to add my profile, and Lionels' too.  It has been a great time organizing with the Pierre/Ft Pierre Classmates.  Thanks to all of you!   Anyone wishing to bring a boat for the occassion, and you don't mind the gas prices, Great - Although we should have plenty of River Toys.  See you Soon

It's been a very long time since I've been HOME! Looking forward to a nice time. 

I've been looking forward to this for 10 years!

It is so fun to read about everyone!  If I get my act together and get my kids to help me I'll try to fill you all in about my past 30 years.  Technology isn't one of my strengths and most of the time I feel and know that I am turning into my mother. As you all know my mother is a great person!!!

Has it really been 30 years!!!  Looking forward to seeing everyone! 

It's great to see pictures being added to the classmates page.  It would be nice for everyone to put a short bio on it regardless either you are attending reunion or not.  Now there's a challenge....

Nice website !!! Look forward to the reunion !!!

Looking forward to a good time at the 30th!

Hope to see everyone there.

See you all there!

Don't miss this one!

July 18-19 will be a blast.  Give classmates you come in contact with any info to get them to this reunion

see you in Pierre!
