65th Reunion Logo
65th Logo – Glenna Stearman Park and her son Dan created the 65th Reunion logo. All those attending received round logo coasters, courtesy of Glenna. A few East High blue t-shirts with this logo were available and quickly purchased with more on order.
Tables Photos – Who are these people? We supplied names where we could, but need you to fill in the blanks and make corrections. Add names in the Comments section below or send to mbellert@niu.edu, and she will add them to the pictures. We did not manage to photograph everyone, but these give you a sense of who came and how they looked (older but happy).
