You might be saying, gosh, they look great for their 75th high school reunion…That’s because we celebrated our 75th birthdays!

Betty Ann Pacheco and a committee of grads organized and executed five days of fun, fun, fun for the 75th celebration. Two days in Los Alamos, two days in Santa Fe, and the one day in Albuquerque was topped off with a happy hour and dinner at Sandia Resort and Casino in Albuquerque. We had a great time catching up with over 40 of our fellow classmates who came from near and far.

Thanks to Brenda Edeskuty the wife of our classmate Fred Edeskuty and our well informed guide on the Summer Walking Tour for the Los Alamos Historic Society. We learned a lot. Thanks to classmates for giving us feedback and updates from details for entering Bandelier; where Arturo Chavez (Art Usner) shows his artwork at the Galleries in Santa Fe; informing us of the latest feature at Museum Hill to tips on buying tickets to ride the Tram and where to meet inside Sandia Resort and Casino. Dan Carothers lead us around Bandelier and kept us in the shade and we were surprised with all his interesting information We appreciate the many classmates who shared the invite with friends. We couldn’t find and apologize to those we missed.
