40 year reunion book


1976 -2016
Alliance High School
40 Year Class Reunion
September 9 & 10, 2016



Classmates are listed in the same order as they were in the yearbook. Married names are in parentheses. An asterisk denotes someone who attended school with us at some point, but did not graduate with us. You might skip the rest of this page to read what our classmates have been up to, but come back when you’re done.

You enjoyed that didn’t you? Did you write anything? If yes, thank you. If not, shame on you. As I was typing (ok, copying and pasting) the stories into this document, I enjoyed reading what every single one had been up to, even if we weren’t that close in high school. We all have a shared experience and even if you think your story will be boring, people will enjoy reading it.

I volunteered to put together this book at the first meeting of the reunion planning committee. I didn’t realize it would be such a short book (less than a third responded). I’ll go on record now to volunteer for the 50 year reunion book. Surely I’ll be retired by then and will have the time to track everyone down to get at least a “no comment” or “expletive deleted” from every classmate.

I also started this blog about the reunion. Almost all the content on the blog is stuff that I had. I did get some pictures from Shirley Johnson Sellman and Kathy Saylor Feininger – thanks to them – and I would be happy to post anything anyone else wants to share.

There is a “Contact Information” page on the blog – if you move or change email address, please update on the blog site. I know, one more thing to remember to do, but if we can keep the list up-to-date it will be that much easier to keep you informed about the next reunion. If you have never received an email from me and you have email, please go to the blog and update your info. (FYI, when we started this, I only had four email addresses. I now have 41 – still a long way to go.)

I posted on Facebook every time I added something to the blog. You can “follow” the blog and get email alerts any time something new is added.

The blog doesn’t have to be just about the reunion. Keep it going; brag when you get a new job, have a new grandchild (or dare I say great-grandchild), retire, move, etc.

I hope you enjoy the reunion. To those who didn’t make it there, I hope to see you in 10 years if not before.

Paul Phillip

p.s. This will eventually end up on the blog, so you can still send me your story.
