Loosely speaking, the Class of '63 reunion committee is always ready for another go.

No one has ever been awarded a franchise for a class reunion. There isn’t even a standing committee—it’s just a matter of whoever shows up ready to pitch in. That’s the way it’s been for the previous get-togethers held during half a century for the ’63 Teddies.

With the 50-year reunion behind us, we've switched gears to plan a 70th birthday party for the entire class in June. It's another chance to take ownership in something that belongs to you and everyone in the class.

The current committee includes John and Jan Johnson Larsen, Dale and Lynne Nichols Hendrickson, Brian Lundquist, Chuck Deckas, Duane Ostlund, John Selstad, Marlene Iverson Robertson, David Wiencke, John Moon, Jon Mathisrud, Laura Stolpe, JoAnn Normington Fischer, Karen McDonald Schiller, Sally Gorman, Jeff Thomas, and Linda Moe Victor.

The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. April 26 at the home of Chuck Deckas, 3183 Butternut Circle NW., Prior Lake. Phone is 952-447-2618. Any and all '63 Teddies are welcome.

Also, if you move we'd like to be able to keep track of you. So, please, please, contact Marlene Iverson Robertson with your updated address, phone and E-mail.

Remember, we've put in a lot of work over the years, but we're not done yet. We want to make these get-togethers truly memorable events for all those remaining from the 679 classmates who walked into adulthood together.

You're always welcome.
