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)

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

 Deadwood sounds great!  Also wanted to say it is so nice to be able to keep in touch this way.    Has there been any updates on Mike M's son?

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.

Don't miss this one!

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?

Mike Martinson's son is slowly recovering and boy what a long road it's been for he and Susie. On a bright note his son even had a visit by Will Smith. Here's the latest update : 11-30-2008 2121 Isaac has been sleeping better at night. He even manages a nap during the day like his Dad. Isaac does wake a couple times during the night, usually when he needs suctioning. Isaac does seem to be tolerating his PT/OT sessions a little better. Today he managed almost ten minutes on the tilt table in the near upright position. Isaac does a lot of grimmacing during his session and looks like he gets pretty unconfortable. I am sure it is not easy after spending 9 weeks almost entirely on his back. Isaac is making some small vocal noises on occasion. The rehab doc is confident that Isaac's trach could be capped soon so all his breathing will be through his nose and mouth. When that occurs, speech therapy can start the process of teaching Isaac to talk. The weaning process continues with Isaac's meds. Two of the anti-histamines are gone. The methadone and ativan are getting closer to being history. Susie and I are anxious to see if Isaac's wakefullness will improve with fewer meds on board. Susie and I are aware this rehab process is in the early stages but the progress sure tests our patience. We keep telling ourselves that all the complications have delayed progress and everyone is different in the rate of healing. A look in the eye with a smile or nod from Isaac would go a long way in reaffirming our hopes. Some day that will happen. We are greatfull for all the support and prayers. Love, Mike

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

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

Hope to see everyone there.

Please send me your e-mail addresses, so I can forward any upcoming events for the Turning 50 celebration. Or if you have any classmates also. I promise I won't sell any of them to those magazine companies.....

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

Been awhile since I've been able to check in and it's nice to see folks are still checking in. If I'm ever back in Pierre for the 1st Wednesday of the month, I'll stop on down to Bob's and see what's up. Congrats to Tammy P as well! I wasn't aware of your honor and am very happy to see you be recognized. Glad to hear that we're still working on the 50th Bday bash in Deadwood. Not sure if Deadwood can handle this gang of classmates though!! :) Take care everyone!

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!!

Hey all!  I was actually Googling something for work, and this website came up.  So glad it's extended and we can keep in touch that way, at least.  Was great seeing everyone last summer, and I've even renewed contact with some old friends, so thanks!  The Deadwood idea sounds great, Greg's class (77) is actually doing that (or some of them anyway) this June, so we'll be out there for that.  Let me know on next year!And congrats to Tammy P on the Hall of Fame - although I was sure it'd be ME!!!:)

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

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!

Some of you guys are just soooo organized- it's great!  It sounds like the 50's project is well underway.  Keep the updates coming.  I'd like to come by for a Wednesday meeting, but I can't figure out how to make it to work on time Thursday morning.

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.

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!

Shelley, I like the 1st Wed. of the month idea.  Anything people can do to keep in contact is excellant.  Dan Sahr

New pics under 50 Birthday Celebrations.  If anyone has pictures they would like to share, they can be sent to this website on the Photo Albums page or emailed to me or Trace Beck. 

Actually that should say 50 PLUS Birthday Celebrations.

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!

Looking forward to a good time at the 30th!

Happy New Decade!

A happy 2009 to all.  This past year was a memorable one with one of the highlights being our reunion.  Personally I have a lot to be thankful for during 2008 and it will be hard to top it in 2009, but I am going to try.  Some of our classmates have faced adversity this past year so I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers that 2009 will bring you success and happiness.Tammy, we are all proud of you!  I will be at the induction ceremony giving you the standing ovation you deserve.  Will also slip in a few of our old cheers for old times sake.The bench project is still in the process, although a little behind schedule.  I should be done by this spring.  A big thank you to all of those that contributed.The big 5-0 reunion is still being planned for Deadwood in 2010.  I have some meetings coming up with the management of some of the hotels and resorts, then will put together a list of some room rates and availability of facilities.Take care all and may 2009 bring you all the best!!
