When lumber was King in Willits...

Hello everyone,

Hope this finds all well! The attached Class Planning Group Meeting Minutes have information about the Scholarship Program, Class Time Capsule, AND, AND, AND .....a Schedule of Activities for the Homecoming and 60th Birthdays get-together. It looks like Homecoming weekend will be October 16th. That means we are only ten weeks away from enjoying each others' company again. I had a super time at the reunion and am looking forward to Homecoming this year. When you see "Float" in the schedule, don't panic. We are going to use Runyan's trailer and have some fun. See you in ten weeks. '67-on!!!!!!! TT
