Classmates,

Some additional reunion information:

Due to multiple very generous donors, class donations exceeded reunion costs.
As a result, $1,685 will be donated towards the IVHS Alumni scholarship fund.

If you enjoyed your time at Deer Creek Vineyards and Whisper Canyon Ranch, please post a positive review on their websites.

Thanks again!

Ron

Classmates,

During the weekend of 6-8 June 2025, attendees from Alaska to Florida and many parts in between, enjoyed time together at 3 planned reunion events. We were saddened that not all were able to attend, but 32 classmates plus others, for a total of 45, were able to participate during the weekend. Most were able to attend all 3 events, but some attended Friday or Saturday nights only. The main event occurred at the Whisper Canyon Ranch’s (WCR) Cosmic Café Saturday evening. There were many photos taken and posted here, so please review them to see your friends.

Mark Rathburn was vocal and guitar entertainment accompanied by Ryan Bleser on drums Friday night at Deer Creek Vineyards (DCV). Ryan, Mark and Glenn Woodbury hosted our Friday gathering. DCV and the weather combined for a very pleasant time, food and drinks together on Friday night. See pictures.

Ron Sprinkle gathered Bob Coffman, Steve Saffer, Bob Mitchell, Mike McCain, Glen Terpening, Mark Rathburn and Ryan Bleser for 9 holes at the IV Golf Course. Golfers led class attendance Saturday morning at the IV Senior Center for breakfast. Among those tracking scores, Ryan recorded the lowest strokes for the 9 hole outing at the golf course. See pictures.

Mark Rathburn was our MC on Saturday night. Jacky Darveau Sweetland coordinated services and setup with Sheri Newton Corgill and assistance from many others at WCR for the entire weekend and especially for Saturday night and Sunday Brunch. Jacky was very busy all weekend! An excellent dinner was provided by Sweet Tea catering, arranged by Ryan Bleser. Kim Robinson Spezza took pictures, some of which are posted on the IVHS Class of 1975 pages on Facebook, Classmates.com and Alumniclass.com. Photos will continue being posted on those sites as they are curated and become available. George Michels provided the sound system and music for Saturday as well as Friday evenings. Mike McCain handed out reunion coins that he designed and produced as a thank you to the reunion planning committee members. Sheri, Jacky and Cindy Chamberlain LaBree organized and provided “gag gifts” for categories such as youngest child, longest traveled, least hair, etc. Toasts and laughter were shared by all. See pictures.

The weekend concluded Sunday at noon with a very nice brunch provided by Amazing Graze, also coordinated by Ryan Bleser. Again, many hands led by Jacky, set up and broke down for the event. Like all other weekend events, there was time to catch up over food with long-time friends, the true intent of the reunion. We then said our goodbyes as we returned to our separate lives.

Many discussed that our next reunion could not wait another 10 years, so was tentatively agreed among attendees to be in 5 years (2030).

Thanks to all attendees and a very special thanks to those who contributed the hard work to make the reunion such a class event and so much fun!

Warmest Regards,

Your Reunion Planning Committee

Classmates,

Forwarding the below message from Mike McCain.

Mike has been working to support our class reunion since we started planning our reunion weekend this coming month. He has designed and implemented a unique and stunning challenge coin that commemorates our happy 50th Reunion.

Please contact Mike directly at his email below if you are interested in a coin.

Thanks,

Ron

Classmates,

IVHS Class Commemorative Coins are available. These coins are a healthy 40 mm or 1 2/3rd inches across. They are currently available at $25 per coin.
There are nine available now, but more can be made if there is interest. These coins take more than an hour to produce, so please express your interest so that there is time to make yours before our Reunion.
Thank You, Mike Mccain @ motormccain@yahoo.com
