Ketchikan, Alaska - One hundred and seventeen people attended
the "Kayhi Nifty Fifties Reunion," held in Ketchikan
over the Fourth of July weekend.
The celebration began with
a no-host bar and cocktail party at Jeremiah's on July 1st, followed
by an evening banquet at the Ted Ferry Center on July 2nd. A
picnic and barbecue at Ward Lake took up the afternoon of the
3rd and the celebration culminated with the 4th-of-July parade
and class float.
A local committee did the work
behind the scenes, organizing, setting up and decorating for
events. The committee included Judy (Garrison) Auger, Gail (Meader)
Alguire, Jeanne (Traversy) Burlison, Michael Cusack, Maxine (Munter)
Doyle, Mike Ellis, Shirley (Gregson) Mossburg, Frank (Sonner)
Murphy, Kay (Benson) Sims, Terry Storm, Diane (Clark) Thomas,
Larry Tillotson and Sheila (Bucey) Zastrow.
The reunion included the classes
of 1950 through 1959. Twenty-three classmates attended from the
class of 1957 and 21 from 1955. These two classes boasted the
highest turn-out.
