My sincerest condolances on Patty's loss this holiday season. I remember her sense of humor and her great spirit in Pep Club. Always smiling. She will be missed, but we were lucky to have had her in our lives.

Hello, Vikings all! This is the first time I've posted on our site, and I'm glad that my interest, which began as a personal request for some financial help for some dental surgery, has resulted in a genuine curiosity about so many of your lives! Yes, we've had the sadness of premature loss of some of our classmates, but it seems that overall, we're all doing pretty well. I'm especially happy for those of you now enjoying retirement and financial security. My artistic path, especially playing and teaching the cello, has led me in a more tenuous direction -- I won't be retiring any time soon. However, that's why it's good that music and photography are passions for me, as they continue to get me through these years where I'm still able to work. I am trying to raise funds for some dental surgery, however, and for that, I'm posting a request here. If you're able to kick in some money toward that goal, I'd be so grateful. If you're interested in my crowd funding site, go to GoFundMe.com and type Kristin Halgedahl in the Search Box. My site should pop right up, you can read my story, and make a contribution as a Tooth Fairy now, or in the future. Or here's a link (I hopeā¦I'm so bad with things tech) that will take you right there.

Meanwhile, other than that, I'm doing pretty well. I now live in Traverse City, Michigan, a beautiful town in upstate Michigan, near Interlochen, the fine arts camp my father taught at in the summers, and which brother Fred and I attended growing up. It's a good place, except for the winters. I don't like snow and ice, and may be moving south, but for now, it's home.
I'll be updating my profile, as I now realize how important it is to have current information here. A HUGE thank you to Janie and Connie (and others) who do so much to maintain our site. And all the best to everyone. Hope to see you at the 50th Reunion!

I doubt if anyone remembers me but I have kept up with the class website. First, Merry Christmas to all!! I will always remember how several of us were riding in this dark green (foreign made, I think) car - built somewhat like a VW bug. Anyway, it was a car that Janie was driving at the time. We drove it on the road that surrounds Island Park- on top of the dike there. Anyway we went down on the north side of it - can't remember why, but in the process the exhaust pipe came off. Somehow we figured out a way to fasten it to the side (?) of the vehicle and drove it to the dealership where Janie's Dad worked. The windows on that CONVERTIBLE car would only go down part of the way and I can still remember us laughing at our reflection in the windows on Main street as we drove it across town. Just a memory that came to me recently. Hope everyone is enjoying life as much as I am!
