Below are two group photos of most of the people at the reunion. Some had either left early or chose not to be present for the photos. I've numbered everyone in the top photo and have identified everyone by number below the photo. If I've made any errors, please let me know by return e-mail. The first photo is one that my wife took. The second one was taken at almost the same time by Charlene Beauclair.
1997 174th Reunion Photo: (Note: There were perhaps half-a-dozen guys who for some reason or other did not get in the photograph. Ya snooze, ya looze.
Thanks,
