Thanks Bob for putting the reunion message up on the home page. Just to add to that message is the time. 5:30 PM till ??? I also put up a message on FB as well so this should help get the message out. Thanks again and hope this message works today. I will let you know if it appears today or not.

Attention all classmates This year's class reunion will be held at Barkers Island on August 2nd at 4:00 pm till ? We will be discussing the 60th reunion plans for August 2025. We will be looking for volunteers to help get the plans together for this our last mail out reunion. So put your thinking hats on as what we would like to do for this significant reunion. Patty Little.

Walked by Howard Mackey's house every day on my way to school. Remember Howard as being a very nice, happy, some comical individual. Very likeable person to know. So sorry to hear of his passing but happy his suffering is over. A loss for his family, community, and classmates.

So sorry to hear of Elise’s passing. Hugs for her family

So sorry classmates to see on FB that we also have another loss in our graduating class. Devon Eccles has passed away. I have no other info as to what happened other than it was unexpected. He was a great guy full of the dickens and love to laugh. SO I SAY TO YOU DEVON AND BOB FLY FOREVER FREE TILL WE MEET AGAIN IN THE FINAL REUNION IN THE SKY.

Looking forward to the 2023 RHS Reunion.

Is the 60th. going to be just one day or two?

Very nice tribute to Elyse, Sharon. It reminds me that I forgot to mention something in my earlier note about adding a Memorial for her. That is, under each Memorial there is a Tribute button which allows you to add your personal tribute/memory to the person's Memorial for others to see in the future. It's a nice place to share your fond memories of the classmate we've lost.

Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This is one of my favorite times of the year. Getting together with family and friends to celebrate is what makes this time so special. It was certainly nice to see everyone at the reunion this past August. I had been 30+years since I've seen many of my classmates. In some ways it seemed like no time had passed at all, just spending time with old friends and familiar faces. Congrats on the new website, very impressive. Hoping everyone has a happy and healthy 2023.

Hi Classmates, I have mailed out our Sixtith Class Reunion invites this morning. If you don't receive it in a reasonable amount of time, email me or post a Guest Book entry. My email address is shown in my entry under the list of classmates on the Classmates page. A big thank you to Alice, Irene, Kathy, and Margret for helping organize the reunion. A special thanks to Margret for the special snacks to feed us. Thanks, PJ

Sad news classmates we have lost another classmate. Lanny Haglund passed away. I don't have any more information about his passinf at this point. Well let you all know when we get more info. Also lets send out prayers for Dale Trolson he is going into have a defibulater put into his heart in the next few days. so sending prayers out to Dale for speedy recovery and that all goes well. Dale and Bonnie didn't go out to California this year. Hugs to all of you. Love PJ

Dear Linda, your message brings tears to my eyes. You where a rock for me when Carla passed. I remember our conversation like it was yesterday you made it more bearable to try to accept her passing. So now I will remember those words for you. I will pray that your last days are as free of pain as possible. We will meet again in the final reunion in the sky and I will be able to give you a hug then. Bless your heart dear friend and classmate. Love and hugs PJ.

Now it makes sense to me, maybe its just me that is confused by the tab above not going away and not seeing the box below to add your post?????

Bob Hengel passed away this morning. I spoke with his ex-wife Ann, she said he passed peacefully. I believe there will be an obituary in the Mpls. Star Tribune and the Duluth News Tribune in the next few days.

Looking, Bob. Thank you Patty & Bob.

I look forward to next couple years in keeping my fingers crossed that you will be able to attend either next year when we have the 60th. We will all be happy to see you. Thank you for the kind words about my song at the 50th reunion it was a heartfelt song that I felt fit how all of us feel about missing the friends we all miss from high school. Those are special relationships that seem to mean more the older we get. So take care of yourself and look forward to seeing you in the future. Hugs PJ

Any body out there lets start a conversation about anything??????

Just passing this along which came in from the Contact page: From: Joyce Hatanpa [michael7631at msn dot com] Sent: 2025/03/21 12:19pm Joyce and her husband plan to go to the Shamrock…Thank you

THIS IS A HUGE REMINDER WHEN USING THE GUEST BOOK. AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED WITH TYPING YOUR MESSAGE IF YOU WANT YOUR MESSAGE TO APPEAR HERE ON THE GUEST BOOK YOU MUST SCROLL DOWN PAST THE WHITE BOX AND LOOK FOR THE BLACK BOX THAT SAYS TO POST TO GUEST BOOK AND CLICK ON THAT BOX WITH YOUR MESSAGE. TO VERIFY THAT YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED SCROLL BACK UP AND THERE WILL BE A GREEN CHECK MARK THAT TELLS YOU THE MESSAGE IS GOOD AND POSTING TO THE GUEST BOOK. HOPE THIS HELPS IF YOU DONT SEE YOUR MESSAGE IN THE GUEST BOOK.

Yes Kathy I received your package With the addresses. I thought I sent a reply to you that we can work it all it will be fine.

In looking through the web site I came across the senior class pictures, I took particular interest in Bob Hengel's photo and the accompanying caption, "I'm never serious, but always gay"! Can you imagine that caption appearing in ANY yearbook today? How times have changed !!

So Sorry for the news about Bob Hengel prayers for him. I also have a message to Nancy Nordswen. Dale was looking into Barkers Island again for this year and I think it would be best if we keep the yearly place we meet at the same place each year to help people remember. Haven't heard from him yet but will check with him. But my suggestion Nancy is this you will need to see how many people that the restaurant can handle. And how much it would cost to rent. If it could be a place for the 2025 Reunion. How much would it cost for the class or per person. Our normal amount of people for our yearly meeting is about 30 for annual meetings and up to 60 or more for the for a mail out invitation for our 60th reunion. Thank you for your suggestion and anymore info you can find out. The other option was on the table for the Log Cabin for the 60th. If I remember correctly that cost to meet there was free but a charge for food. Not sure anymore it's been a while since we looked into the Log Cabin. Thanks again Nancy.

Thank you Patti and Bob for all the work you have done on this site. Hello to all you fellow EHS classmates. Looking forward to the 2023 reunion.

Folks, the following message is from Pat (Wild) Franzen. She submitted it using the "Contact" page, which only is sent to me, the site administrator, instead of the "Guest Book" page which gets distributed out to all folks for whom we have an email address. I wanted you all to see it, so I am submitting it as a Guest Book post on Pat's behalf. Here's Pat: Such fun to see the FUN! Sadly, I do not recognize many faces. You need bigger nametags! I hope to be back for the 60th in 2025, Lord willing. I did not graduate with the Class of '65, but I was with the Nelson Dewey/Franklin crowd until Grade 11 when we moved to Iowa. I remember with great fondness my years in Superior. The North Woods remains a draw for me. I travel to the Rhinelander area with my Boy Scouts every so often. I'm an assistant scoutmaster for a female troop. I'm just now completing Wood Badge and having a blast. My granddaughter and I are honored to be OA Brotherhood and typically spend 20+ nights each year in our tents/hammocks in the forests. We earned Zero Hero last January when we spent 24 hours in the woods at Tomahawk Scout Reservation up there. It hit -7 that night. I know, I know... That's nothing to a true Superior dweller. :-) May you all enjoy a beautiful fall season. Blessings, P

I, also, want to make sure to thank Larry Strack, for posting the reunion photos of this year's attendees. Some of us had great plans to be there, but something else just kept us away, but we were with each one of you 'in spirit' ....

Hello to all my EHS class and friends. I am looking forward to the 2023 reunion. It sounds like there just might be one. I have to say I like the new format for the site, and I thank all of you who put so much work into keeping it going. You're doing a great job. Pat and I are in Thailand for a few more weeks before going to Bali for another month. If all goes as planned, I think we will be in Florida for about a month before heading North to visit family and friends. I hope all is well with everyone and you are trying to stay safe and healthy. Jim and Pat

I plan on attending both nights of the 2025 class reunion.

Sorry to hear that we have lost another classmate Elise Reid Banard. She passed away on October 3rd at home. She was a sweet lady. May she FLY FOREVER FREE UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN IN TH FINAL REUNION IN THE SKY.

So Sorry to report that we have lost another dear classmate Dawn Koistinen, has passed. Cheryl let me know but we don't have any particulars as of yet. So if anyone has anymore info about this please come into the guest book with that info. Or contact me.

Hello classmates, hope everyone is doing well. Thank you PJ & Bob for all you do for this website. Your time & work are truly appreciated.

I would like to volunteer to help with plans for the 60th reunion in 2025

Hi Karen hope that you will make a reunion soon. How is your new apartment? Is it just as nice as you described it in your previous message to the Guest Book? In addition to Pat Wild Franzens message you have such an active life it will be great to see and talk to you in person so I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will make one of our reunions in the next 2 years. You go girl. Hugs PJ

Elyse was a great person. Laurie Nord and I decorated their apartment when they got married. Condolences to her family.

Classmates, we've lost our classmate Howard Mackey. Howard passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, with his loving wife by his side. He courageously fought and beat cancer three times before dementia took over. Our condolences to his family. Thanks to Alyce Lenzen for letting us know about Howard's passing. You can view Howard's obituary on our Memorials page by scrolling down to his entry. The entries are sorted by original last name. An announcement of his passing has been added to the Home page.

Pat so good to hear from you. You are one busy lady you go girl. Hope to see you at the next reunion or the 60th. Take care till then. Hugs PJ

So sorry Kathie I was looking forward to seeing you. I had a big question for you do you still have the list of addresses from our covid cancelation reunion???????

A few folks have inquired privately about our reunion gathering this summer. To try to let folks know the current status, I'm reposting Pat's earlier, 4/24/23, update here below. She posted that prior to my adding Guest Book support for automatically sending new postings to all folks for whom we have a verified email address. Hopefully, this reposting will get the status out to most of you. Here's Patty Little's post from 2023-04-24 at 12:22: 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.

We owe our thanks to Nancy Nordswen Hossalla for all those great reunion pictures that were just uploaded. My apologies to Nancy for being unable to determine who had uploaded them. At least one of the pictures of the whole group of attendees came from Larry. So he deserves our thanks for that. I believe Larry has a number of other photos that he plans to upload as well when he's finished reviewing them. So, likely there are more to come.

Larry Strack, thanks for the reunion photos, great job.

The older I get the more my mind does a life review with snippets of conversations or events that often include you folks. Remember them announcing JFK assassination…I was in German class. I’ll turn 76 tomorrow….probably my last birthday. I’ve battled breast cancer off and on for 29 years and now I’m at the end as it’s in my spine. I feel pretty good most days but it’s gaining on me. I’ve had a great life with three kids, 8 grands and 3 great grands and for 35 years the best man I’ve known for a partner. I’ve been a nurse and foster mom and had good friends…can’t ask for more. I miss my buddy Carla and we were in daily contact her last two years…we talked a lot about high school….she could remember so many things I’d forgotten about. Thanks to any of you who remember me fondly. I’ll eventually see you all and we’ll have a great reunion.????

Oops, I did it again!! I was looking forward to our gathering this weekend, but the oldest hip replacement decided to jump “ ship” , leaving me in the lurch for the next six weeks, and full recovery taking a few months. I will be missing great conversations from Brest class members. A toast to those no longer with us, and , I am certain, greatly missed. Hope to meet up next year…to the greatest and last grads of Superior East High School, ❤️????????????????????????!

I would also like to add a message to note that I would like to volunteer to help with our 60th East High School class reunion in 2025 Pat. I would appreciate it if you would keep me informed and add my name to the list of people who have volunteered. It you pm me privately, I will be more than willing to provide you with my personal cell phone # so that you will be able to reach me easier. I also have a nice private location where you and the rest of our 60th volunteers can meet. I hope you and everyone from our class are enjoying a nice summer!! Karin H

Sorry to hear of Howard’s passing. My thoughts and prayers for his family. So sad that we are loosing so many classmates.

Thank Kathie for your message and offer to help with the 2025 reunion. Thank you for the offer and will contact you when we get a little closer. Enjoy your trip to Idaho. Your message didn't appear here in the guest book but came to me personally. So your message didn't appear for all to see, unfortunately. If you want to send a message for all to see you need to go to the bottom of your message and look for a green arrow and then it will post to the guest bookd for all to see. Thanks Kathie.

Just passing this along which came directly to me by way of a response to my prior Guest Book post. Bob Marlowe reported: "The Lord willing, I will be at the reunion both nights. Looking forward to visiting with former classmates." For anyone else who would like to report on their plans for attending, it would be best to do so by posting a new Guest Book message on the "Guest Book" page. The steps to do so are provided near the top of that page. Adding a Guest Book works the best because that will be forwarded out to all our classmates rather than just going to me.

Just to let you all know, you can view  Lanny's obituary on our Memorials page by scrolling down to his entry. The entries are sorted by original last name.
