Forgot to mentioned - will be at Shamrock Fri night (Heard Marlow is buying. - will be at the Gala event on Sat. - both events will be solo.

Greetings, It is unlikely that I will be able to attend. Way too much on my plate right now with teaching and travel. If anything changes, I’ll let you know. Blessings, Pat

I will be attending the upcoming class reunion.

I sure would like to see that attendance list grow some, especially with the locals that still live in Duluth/Superior. 🥲

Pam Haglund and Family have provided an announcement, which you can see on our site home page, for a Celebration of Life for Lanny. We're all invited to celebrate his life with his family on 6/14/25, 1-4 PM, at the Log Cabin, 2821 County Rd E, South Range, WI.

I believe access to our Class Website home page, https://ehs65.com/, is now working again. Failing to get through to their support line for 2 days, I tried poking around the Administration options and located a section where I could access the settings for defining our ehs65.com domain to their service. The entry was marked "Inactive." Evidently, it was set to that as a by product of them deploying the new version of their service. Setting it to "Active" then fixed the problem that was causing the "404" error and now access to our home page appears to be working again.

The web site service hosting our ehs65.com Class Website is currently having problems. Attempts to access the home page, https://ehs65.com/, for our site isn't working correctly and instead displays a page saying "404 Sorry, but we could not find the page you were looking for." This is likely a side effect of them having just deployed a new version of their web site hosting service. I have a service request in to them and will advise all on the status of that when I learn more. Bob

The web site service hosting our ehs65.com Class Website has announced that they've just rolled out a major upgrade to our website platform! An important part of this is that the Guest Book posting interface is easier to use so don't be afraid to use it to communicate. Here are a couple of other noteworthy items on what’s new: Improved User Interface – A cleaner, more intuitive design makes it easier than ever to navigate. Faster Performance – Enjoy a speedier, smoother experience from start to finish. So when you get a chance, check out the website again. I think you'll find some of the pictures being presented better in addition to the Guest Book posting interface more easy to use. Bob

"Merry Christmas to all of my East High Class of 1965 Graduates!!!!" I just wanted to make it a point to wish all of you a 'Merry Christmas for 2022' and for all of us to 'welcome in' 2023!! Let's hope that the year 2023 is going to be a MUCH better year for all of us than the past three years have been due to the pandemic. For me, there's going to be a MAJOR change as I'm going to be moving OUT of the New Perspective Senior Living facility where I've resided for the past five (5) years and into a brand new independent apartment complex which is going to be located where the old St. Joseph's Childrens' Home used to be at the very beginning of February, 2023. My new apartment is going to be located on the Fifth Floor so I'm going to have a tremendous view of Lake Superior after living for over 50+ years near Lake Michigan!! And I'll also have a gorgeous view of the Duluth ski hills although I've never been much of a skiier due to the severe 'crushing break' that I suffered in the summer of 2017 of my left foot and ankle. But now I've TOTALLY recovered from that injury and I'm walking totally independent again and it's now time for me to 'fly on my own' which I'm very anxious to have happen in the very near future. After reviewing all of the many classmates who've already passed away, I think it's time that each one of us cherish the lives that we've been given and vow to remain healthy and happy for the years we have left. I hope to see many of you at our class reunion this summer in August. Due to being an 'insulin dependent diabetic for many years and having another serious medical situation that I have to deal with, I've been labeled as 'immunocompromised' and I've had to be very careful not to contract the Covid-19 Virus but hopefully things will have settled down more this summer and I'll be able to become re-aquainted with many of you 'in person' again this year. Each one of you 'take care and stay safe' in whatever you have going on in each one of your lives and be sure to 'keep in touch' here on our East High '65 Website!! Karin (Harmer) Hanson

Bob, you're certainly right that current times wouldn't see a caption like that for Bob Hengel showing up anymore without causing a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Bob Hengel's caption wasn't prophetic. That is, I believe he has some children. On a related note, our class site home page still lists Bob as "in the care of assisted living with memory issues." Is that still the case? Do you have any updated information on how he is doing? He was such a great guy. I can still see that cheerful smile of his which seemed to be ever present.

Hi, the above is my correct address…looking forward to the reunion

Lanny Haglund passed away at home with Pam by his side of a heart attack. This summer will be announced a celebration of life. FLY FOREVER FREE DEAR FREIND TILL WE MEET AGAIN IN THE THE FINAL REUNION IN THE SKY

Ok classmates and Bob, I have tried to post this message using my phone and it won't take it???? so here goes I will try it this way. Many thanks to Len Moreau for his donation to our fund. It was a big one. I offered to give Bob a refund to the payment he made to secure our new web site. But this is what he said. He didn't need it and to put the whole amount Len donated into our account. So we now have six hundred fifty nine and cents. Next time you see Len thank him for his donation. I thank you Len, hugs PJ

I would like to wish all of my "old" classmates a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, it's 26 degrees this morning in The Villages, Florida, fortunately it's not snowing. As I think back of my youth in East End Superior the memory of how the East End business area was decorated for Christmas with trees and lights on each street light and how Eddie Meyers, who owned the radio and TV repair shop, would pipe Christmas music that filled the downtown area. In my youth I always took this for granted, but now as I think back I realize what a special memory this created for me. Wishing everyone a happy and HEALTHY New Year.

Sorry to hear of Bob Hengels passing. We were best of friends starting with the basketball team at Franklin Junior High and all through High School. I spent several summer weekends with Bob and his family at their cabin on Middle Eau Claire Lake. Even after graduation there were weekends when Bob Jackson, myself and others would head down to Madison to visit Bob and his roommate Jim Nelson at UW. They'd put us up in their dorm room after a night of partying on State Street or at the Bunny Hop out in Middleton. I hadn't seen him for quite a while but we would talk on the phone regularly in recent years and it was always good to share lots of great memories, some of which were so much fun that they are probably best left unsaid at this point. He was a good friend and will be missed.

Special thanks to Larry and Nancy for your photos and sharing them with us. To those who didn't come to this reunion, I am encouraging you classmates that how important it is to come to the next two years of reunion's especially those who haven't been to a reunion for awhile. We have lost forty nine classmates out of our one hundred seventy two classmates the we graduated with. It is just a joy to see and visit with everyone. Time is running out for all of us. It's understandable that some of you are not able to come for health reason's. Also those that live far away it's understandable. So if you can't come to the reunions come into the guest book and chat with us. We have such an awesome web site to enjoy let us know you are still interested that we have this format to stay in touch. Ok I am done now. So I will get off my soap box till next time. Love you all and hugs. PJ

Just to let you all now. A number of additional photos from Larry, in the latter half of our 2023 58th Reunion Photos album, are now available on the home page. Thanks to Larry for all his efforts in taking the photos at the reunion and getting them uploaded to the reunion album.

Another passing….sad. Howard was funny, had a smile a mile wide! Comfort to his family and know we are send prayers .????????????????????????????

Greetings Class of '65! I am sad to miss the reunion this weekend. I've become very involved with Boy Scouts and serve as a leader. We have campouts often and this next one is going to be especially fun. Adult leaders are doing a float trip down the Merrimac (sp?) in MO. We will be kayaking, canoeing, rafting, swimming, hiking, whatever. Camping out two nights that weekend, cooking our own food, and generally having a blast! I'm hoping the weather is good so I can set up my camping hammock. In general, life is good! I'm still teaching adjunct at Bradley University when I feel like it. Taking fall term off as we have some travel plans and they wanted me to teach two courses. Nope! Too much like work. HA! I just finished teaching ecology at Fermilab all last week. Hotter than blazes, but still a great time. I'm happiest when I'm out in the natural world. I credit growing up in Superior for that love. I still enjoy fishing. Caught a 4 1/2 pound bass on a 6-pound test line in MO last May. I need to go down to my dock and pull out more bluegill, but they are so boring. I'm still involved with curriculum development at Fermilab. Some of my favorite projects were for Fermi, including the Energy and Ecosystems program I wrote. I've been associated with them for nearing 40 years. The dolphin program I wrote for Brookfield Zoo is a very close second. Is it any wonder that I aligned with BSA? Once a tomboy, always a tomboy I wish you all well! Hope you have a marvelous time next weekend. I'll shoot for our 60th in 2025 - OK? OMIGOSH! How can that be? I'd love to hear from some who may remember me. We moved in the spring term of our junior year, but I was Grade 1-11 with many of you. HAPPY REUNION! Blessings, P

I hope everyone is doing well and we have a warm summer soon.

Note: The following was submitted separately through a Contact Form submission by Al. I thought it was nice to here from Al and thought others might like to see it to. So I'm posting this to the Guest Book on Al's behalf. Bob Beethcher Hi, just want to commend you guys on your outstanding work on this website!! Especially you, Pat, for your longevity, dedication, energy, and competence in the execution of this project!! My gawd!!, WHAT an achievement!! Happy to see that Mr. Bob has entered the fray to contribute as well. GOOD for you, BOB!! I enjoy window shopping thru th’Past from time to time and the bios and updates are often interesting and/or sad. Nonetheless, most ALL of our class of ‘65 has a definite place in my dwindling memory and heart. Quite extraordinary piece of time those mid/late ‘60’s, I know they slapped me around and around. I’m wondering if’n it’d be possible to put names t’th’faces on those spectacular reunion photos. I know, more WORK!?!? Just a thought. We’ve all gone through the cycle (cyclone!) of ch-ch-ch-changes and for us straggler’s it’d be a wonderful gesture. ??????? One o dese days I hope to shake hands with each n’every one of the Grand Reunion attendees. Until dat time I remain internetly yours, ~~~al Thanks again for your stellar performances!!!

Hi Cousin Bob and all the classmates from Washington school from years ago. So cool that you all got together. love love the photos. Where did you all meet it looks like a really nice place? Would this place be big enough for our class reunions?????

Hi everyone the date for the yearly reunion is Friday the 4th of August. Just talked with Dale and he is still in California but he will be back soon. He then will see if we can have our date for this year. If not we will find a place for that date. So stay tuned to the guest book and we will let you all know where we will meet. But the date will stay the same. So hope all is well with all of you. I am still being weened of the Prednisone but that too will be done very soon. Because of being on Prednisone I have now gone into severe osteoporosis and I have a compression fracture in the T7th vertebrae. I am taking Fosamax for that issue along with my two bulging disks in my back. Not sure if I will be golfing this year or not. We shall see and hop so. That being said our snow here in Solon is melting fast and I am happy about that. My Iris's are poking thru the ground an that too is a good sign. Remember Friday August 4th for our reunion date for this year. We will inform you as soon as we have a place to go to. Have a great day you all Hugs PJ

This is the third time I am posting about the sadness I feel about loosing another classmate and I am not having a very good time typing. I hope that it works this time. I am very happy that others have put up the message about Howard. I got through both messages and the box to click unto to send the message. I wasn't able to find it I looked at the box under the message I wrote to post it the guest book. Not sure I understand what happened, but extremely frustrating. I hope it works this time. My sadness about Howie is saying goodbye to a very good friend. Howie was my neighbor when we were kids. We had so much fun at the skating rink. Black Steads was the place we all got together. But I was always there and Howie and I would help plow the snow off the ice. We worked together and he taught me how to plow snow. To this day when I plow my snow I think of all the fun we had on that skating rink and I always will remember Howie and our friendship. So now as I have said with every class mate. Rest in Peace dear friend and we shall see you again in the final reunion in the sky. FLY FOREVER FREE DEAR FRIEND.

Recently, a few folks who went to Oakland Grade School together gathered for an Oakland Grade School class reunion. A few photos from that gathering are now available under the "Various Memorabilia" page which can be accessed from the "Menu" option on the upper right of this page. Under the "Various Memorabilia" page you can find those photos by scrolling down to the "8-17-23 Oakland Grade School Class Reunion" photo album. For any of those that attended and might have additional photos for that gathering, you can upload those photos to the album using the "Upload Photos" button under the album.

Welcome all to the new class website. Hopefully this one will serve us well for the remaining of our tenure here. Best wishes to all.

Folks, the following message is from Karin (Harmer) Hanson. She submitted it using the "Send this person a message" button on my earlier Guest Book Post about Larry's photo submissions. That is only is sent to me. Instead it would work better to submit a "Guest Book" post which gets distributed out to all folks for whom we have an email address. Here's Karen: Thank you Larry Strack for the photos you've added from the 2023 -- 58th East High Class Reunion !! Hopefully, I'll be able to make it next year ... But definitely for our 60th !!

Just to let you all now. A number of great photos from our 2023 reunion are now available on the home page. I believe they are contributed by Larry Strack. If they weren't uploaded by Larry, my apologies to whoever contributed them. But Larry spent a lot of his time at the reunion taking photos, so I'm assuming he uploaded them for us. Thanks Larry.

Wow, I came across this web site and was touched by the messages and saddened by the number of obituaries. I was a Washington Elementary student for all 8 years and attended East High until October of our sophomore year, when my family moved to Mpls. I left behind my first love Tom Macauley (so sorry to hear of his passing), good friend Linda Cramer and Barb Johnson, Jack Granquist was like a brother and I thought Bob Granquist was the closest thing to Elvis Presley that I would ever meet. Jack and Kathie Kukul came to my first wedding in Spring Lake Park, MN in 1966. I was married for 25 years and had a son and a daughter while living in Fargo ND. I went on to get my Dental Hygiene degree in 1969 and a BS from NDSU in 1995. I married in 1994 to John Stern, following my divorce in 1991. We live in Fgo and spend 5 months in Scottsdale AZ and our 8 grandchildren love to visit on Spring break. My brother Dan Jensen, class of 1966 SLP MN is in contact with several of his pals from South Range, WI. Peace and Joy to all who share our Washing & EHS memories!

Thanks Karen for posting and I will put you down on the list of attendees. so very happy for you and your health, that is really great news. See you there Karen.

I would like to make a suggestion for the 2024 class get together. I think another night of visiting and socializing take place on Saturday, 8/3 at Shamrock Pizza. Whoever would be interested in doing that, please state.

Ok Bob I can see now what you are talking about with the sign above staying open. I have been clicking on that. Now I can see the tab below my post. I am going to click on that now.

Thanks for your suggestion maybe some folks will be interested and let you know at the reunion. Also it is a good suggestion for the 2025 reunion. we can talk about it at this yeas reunion. Will you be able to make it to this years reunion?

My wife Cheryl and I are planning on attending the August 1st class reunion. We will certainly be at the Friday gathering although probably not until later in the afternoon/early evening. Saturday's event is still questionable but will keep in contact through this Guest Book.

I have sad news again about a classmate that we had with us for only 2 two years at East possibly 9th and10th grade. Her name was Marion Burbal Cronin. Even though we don't have a photo of her and she didn't graduate with us Bobby Chase and myself remember her. Hope if you do remember her that you might come into the site with your remembrances if you can. There was a photo in the Telegram they had put up but I can't seem to find it at the all 3 funeral homes. I recognized her from the photo in the paper. She passed away on October 31st 2023 and November 12th 2023 her husband passed away. So sad. FLY FOERVER FREE MARION UNTIL WE ME AGAIN IN THE FINAL REUNION IN THE SKY.

Just wanted to say hi to anyone who remembers me.

This is what I did to get the notice. I used Google on my A14 Samsung phone our url came up and I used that. I used numbers, dollar sign and cents. I tried a second time with removing the numbers and typed them like I did here in my posting on our site, and it still wouldn't except it. But as you see it worked here using my computer. Hope this explanation helps, if not you can call me and we can discuss it some more. I put it up here so that others can read this and help them to pay attention in how they submit there posting. very curious. PJ

Unable to post message or photos.

Hi you all so want to congratulate cousin Bob on his incredible talents to get this new web site up and going. Thank you Bob for the recognition of my long time being your host to our past web site. It all started in 2005 when I agreed to set up our web site. We were using Dale's brother-in-law web site with Homestead. I had only just got a computer and didn't know a dang thing about what I was doing. But I learned as I went along. Now it is 2022 and I am happy to hand over the reins to Bob who is a wizard at this techy stuff. I m grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to step aside and let the master take over. Thank you all for your support over the years with all my typo errors. Carla was my helper with that, she is gone to the heavens now and I will still thank her for all her help along the way. Miss getting on the phone with her now and then to catch up. But someday we will be able to catch up again. I would also like to put out there that we still need more money in our Reunion Fund. We will need to have more funds coming in. Bob has footed the $ 300 to pay for this new site and which will cover the next 3 years so we won't have to be concerned about that for awhile. We have $294.70 in our account which is a good start for upcoming reunions. But we need to pay Bob for fronting the web site right now. We will be closing our account with Homestead and be getting some reimbursement from them which will help put some more money back into our account. So you can continue to send money to me and I will get it into our account. Or you can also send money to Dale Trolson as well because he is also the second person on our account. So in closing this lengthy message I want to say thank you to all of you with your kind words about the work that I have done for all these years. It was a work of fun and frustration at times because I didn't know what I was doing some of the time. I'm not going anywhere just more in the background. So enjoy this new website and use it often it's a good one. I think it will be easier for everyone to use. For now hugs PJ

Thanks to Larry Strack for the marvelous reunion pictures. I really missed being able to attend. My new hip and I will look forward to seeing you all next year.

Sorry to learn of Elise's passing. A Memorial for Elise has been added to the Memorials page. You can view Elise's obituary on our Memorials page by scrolling down to her entry. The entries are sorted by original last name.
