We have arranged for one or two groups of up to 20 people to tour Washburn on Friday morning before the start of the Reunion

luncheon. People who want to go on a Friday tour must register in advance. Send an email to reunion-tour@washburn-1950.us or

Transportation arrangements will be the responsibility of the people going on the tour and we will try to help people

car pool. The folks from 'out of the Metro Area' will have the first chance at going on Friday morning but no matter where you are

Metro area people can tour before or after the 60th Reunion. Call Marianne Melton at 612-668-3426 and tell her you are from

the Class of 1950 and would like to visit Washburn once again. She will help arrange your personal tour. Our Class Members can

arrange such a tour any time they wish -- even before the end of this school year.

2. Pictures and Images. [Things that will be included on the Official 60th Reunion CD/DVD]

During the Reunion all of the 60th Personal Pages will be up on the walls of the room for examination by attendees. Even if you are unable

to attend you should submit a 60th Personal Page so we can know about 60 years after graduation. Our plan is to put all of the

60th Personal Pages that we receive on the Official Reunion CD/DVD. We urge you to supply us with a color picture of yourself and

some text -- as much as you wish--- so that we can add your 60th Personal Page to the collection. People who wish to do so will be

able to get the Personal Pages printed and bound into a book by Kinko's, OfficeMax, Staples or a similar place by simply presenting

We have scanned the pages from the 50th Reunion Book created by Gene Booker and Con Meloche and which was printed for the

50th Reunion. Not everyone purchased the book. At the reunion we will have these pages posted on the wall with your 60th

We have found that we can make reprints of the Book for $25 mailed to you or we can make a CD-ROM copy for $2 mailed to

you. The CD-ROM can be examined on a computer or you can have it printed at your home location.

If you would like a copy please send an email to reunion-info@washburn1950.us tell us you want a copy. We will arrange to either

send you a copy before the reunion or have your copy available for you to pick up at the reunion.

The individual pages can be seen on this web site by going to the Found Classmates and clicking on the first name of people who prepared

The list of names, phone numbers, addresses and email addresses that we have developed in the process of finding

people for the Reunion will be on the Official Reunion CD/DVD. You can look at it or print it out. It will NOT be placed on the internet

because we want to avoid SPAM generators getting hold of the list. A copy of this list will be handed out at the Reunion.

We are working on arrangements to have two photographers at the Reunion who will take a portrait picture of every Class Member

attending and also group pictures upon request. These pictures will be taken with digital cameras which should allow us to be certain

All of these photos will be made available to Class Members -- whether they are at the Reunion or not --- for the cost of putting them

on the Official Reunion CD/ DVD and mailing. The mailing cost is estimated to be $2.00 per CD/DVD . We hope to keep the

production/copying cost below $3 per CD/DVD. We will have a better estimate of the Official Reunion CD/DVD pricing as the time

We encourage folks to bring their own camera to the Reunion and take as many pictures as you wish. If you have a digital camera

and allow us to make a copy of your memory card we will add your pictures to the CD/DVD.

We are searching for 6th grade pictures from all of the Grades Schools we attended before going to Ramsey & Washburn. Those that

We have requested copies of the GRIST from the years we attended Washburn. We do have a copy of the Graduation Special Edition

of the Grist which will be posted on the wall at the Reunion and will be on the Official Reunion CD/DVD. Any other issues that we are

able to find will be posted on the wall and included on the CD/DVD. If you have any Grist copies please send us an email to

We have asked people to send us via email or regular mail pictures that they have kept from the Washburn years. As many as possible
