New CA School in Process

After 97 years, Central Avenue Grade School was torn down in the Summer of 2020.  Last year, on Thursday, March 12, 2020, several old-timers met to say, “goodbye,”  and now a year later here's some photos from Larry Archer of the new school in process. Click on "Grade School Photos", then "Central Avenue" to get a view.  Thanks, Larry.

The 60th-Year Reunion??

Summer 2023

Okay, this is scary.  We actually aren't that far away from our 60th anniversary of high school graduation.  FYI in late summer 2023 we will hit 22,000 days since graduation.

No plans yet, but think ahead, and start saving some time to get together with some old friends.  We had a great turnout for our 50th, and 55th.  Let's make the 60th fabulous.

Year 56 at the 2121

Thursday, August 22, 2019

We met once again at the 2121 Pub for a few hours of talking, and sharing.  There were at least 50 of us old-timers and guests. Thanks to all who came for talking, eating, talking, laughing, talking, eating, reminiscing, and maybe tossing back a drink or two. It's a great way to keep in touch between our big gatherings.

55 YEARS??  -- IT'S HAPPENED

SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2018

On Saturday, September 8th, 86 of us gathered to celebrate our 55th year since graduation.  There were 54 classmates and 32 guests.  During the night several people referred to us as survivors.  We met at the Emerald Queen Casino Ballroom and Conference Center in Fife. The buffet and dessert table were plentiful and delicious.  If there was supposed to be light background 50s and 60s music playing, it would never have been heard over the talking and laughter. 

See pictures from the event.  Click on the "Class Reunion Photos" tab on the left column, and select the "55th-Year Reunion".

Thanks to all who came and made this a fun event.  Think about 2023 for the 60th (yikes).

Keep your address and other contact info up-to-date, so we can keep in touch.  See ya in August 2019 at the 2121.
