Wasson High School Class of 1978 45th Reunion
Details: Dear Wasson High School Alum,

In 1978, did you ever dream that you would say this phrase? " My 45th High School Reunion!" And you might be thinking ...

"I don't do reunions"
"There's no one I'm interested in seeing"
"It's been 45 years. What do I have in common with these people?"
“You might be surprised who you may like at 45 years”


To these and other excuses for NOT attending our Wasson High School Reunion this summer - we simply say: "YOU WILL BE MISSED!"

Forty-five years ago, we were all classmates and part of each other’s lives (good, bad, or indifferent!) So come see old friends, or better yet, make new ones at the 45th Wasson High School Reunion from July 21-23, 2023 in Colorado Springs! It will be a fun weekend for connecting and reminiscing as we gather for happy hour, picnic in Palmer Park, enjoy a group dinner, and even tour our old high school. Please join us for some or all of the events. We look forward to seeing each of you there. If you cannot attend, please register so we have your updated information. If you would like to pay by check, please register and send the check made payable to:

Terry Howard 100 Ute Ave Lot D1, Kiowa, CO 80117.

Registration link:http://wasson1978.reunionmanager.com.

Sincerely,

Your 45th High School Reunion Committee - Roger Stewart, Cecile Evans, Kaye (Maas) Mathews, Kris (Slattery) Sandoval, Terry (Menasion) Howard and Natalie Taylor for her help locating everyone
