Photos of the 15-year Reunion

On Friday night of the reunion, it all began with Coach Park giving us a tour of the newly remodeled high school.

 A group picture on the steps in the commons area:

I wish the lighting had been more ideal, rather than making rows 3, 4, & 5 appear like ghosts.

 

Dinner was catered by the Pie Dump in the commons area following the tour.

About 80 people came to dinner on Friday night. We had a delicious meal of roast beef, turkey, both kinds of gravy, dutch oven potatoes, green beans w/water chestnuts, salad, roll, and brownies with homemade ice cream.

I somehow managed to forget taking individual pictures of the first two tables on the right in this photo [sorry!]. There were also classmates Janae Jensen Langford, Debra Darley Snow, CJ Earl, Ian Esplin, and Janelle Phillips Esplin.

After dinner & clean-up, some people just didn't want to leave the building! ;)

On Saturday afternoon, we had lunch and family day at North Park in Tremonton. There were only about 30 in attendance, but we had a nice, relaxed afternoon together!

A bounce house/slide combo was rented and the kids had so much fun playing in/on it the entire time!

It was great to see all of you who came to the reunion! I was glad for the opportunity to be the chairman and get to speak with so many of you! Jessica Johnson has offered to be the chairman of the 20-year reunion. Thanks so much Jessica! See you all again (hopefully) in 5 years!

BRHS Class of '97 15-year Reunion Chairman

HELP!!!

Since the 10-year class reunion 5 years ago, when I was nominated to be on the next reunion committee, I have been working on gaining more contact information for all the members of our class. There is now a facebook group for our class, as well as this blog site, to assist with those efforts. I have come up with a list of 345 classmates from the Bear River High School Class of 97, and out of those, there are just 65 classmates that I still have NO contact information for. That means over 80% of our class either belongs to our facebook group or has an email address on our class email contact list! That's a majority of us (which is great!), but there is still about 20% that are being left out of the communication loop and I'm hoping to lessen that number. PLEASE HELP me, and future reunion chairmen, by looking over this list of classmates with no contact information. If there's somebody listed that you have contact with or information for, please do one of 3 things to help:

1. If you belong to the facebook group ("Bear River High School Class of 1997"), and one of these classmates is your friend on facebook, add them to the group. INSTRUCTIONS: on your home page, click on the group "BRHS class of 97" on the left sidebar. After being directed to the group page, on the top right there's a rectangle with a plus sign and the statement "Add friends to group". Just type in the name of your fellow classmate and friend in that box, and they will become a member.

2. If you have their email address, please send it to the class email (brhsclass97@yahoo.com) and I will add them onto the contact list.

3. Or, if you know their phone number, please email it to brhsclass97@yahoo.com and I will call that classmate to find out their email or mailing address.

Thank you for your help!!!
