The 1958 and 1959 joint class reunion of August 9, 2008
at Lino's Italian Restaurant in Rockford


Since Larry Colver is always busy writing checks for Fair winners on reunion night, I visited him at the Fair on Friday evening.   Here we wait for the start of the Blake Shelton concert in the golf cart he drives around the Fair grounds.

Donna, Jan, Deanna, and Dianne before lunch at the Steam Plant in Belvidere.

Mr. Worrell (shop teacher) talked about his experienses with our classes.   He began his career at Capron in 1956.   Mr. Alf took the bus drivers out for training a couple of days before school started and Mr. Worrell said "thank goodness they stopped at the railroad crossing because there really was a freight train."   He took his shop class to Chicago to tour a tool company.   After the tour, they spent a couplr of hours downtown.   He said "one of the fancy hotels did NOT appreciate the many knocks on their guests doors!"

Gayle talked about "our" brick on the "Walk of Pride"
