ALL CLASS REUNION REPORT
The McClain All Class Reunion took place July 2, 2011 and it was great! And the decade of the 1960s had by far the largest turnout at the reunion. The Class of 1967 was very well represented. Thanks to Connie Clyburn and her team from the Alumni Association for putting the reunion together. Local band Dumbfounded played at the ACR dance and when it was time to shut down, most of the dancers still on the floor were from the Class of 1967. No surprises there!
Larry and Eleanor Snodgrass graciously hosted a picnic on Sunday, July 3 so we got to enjoy some extra visiting.
Keep in mind that 2012 marks our 45th year since graduation! Hopefully a reunion discussion or two took place during the All Class Reunion.
