The event we've been waiting for finally happened as the Mason Mustangs Class of '66 held it's first-ever reunion since we left the hallowed halls a mere 39 years ago. Approximately 60 classmates converged on a remodeled Mason school on July 17, 2005 for a tour and most took pity on the poor chief custodian who gracefully tried to point out unique features of our "old" home amidst the loud and constant chatter of classmates renewing friendships of yore.

Highlighting the tour was the appearance of principal Gil Nelson, looking dapper in his mid-80's and willing to regal us with a few stories. Using her effective teaching skills, Kathy "Kat" (Scott) Willard was reasonably successful in keeping the tour flowing in the right direction. Peering into the library was not one of the highlights. Leaving the school and heading to Harmon's Brewing Company WAS one of the highlights.

As we were leaving, principal Nelson discovered that everyone was headed downtown for food and drinks and promptly decided to join us. Ok, think about it....when was the last time YOU had a beer with your junior high principal. Gil stayed for two hours, talked to just about everyone, and left smiling as a raffle winner of 20,000 Alaska Air miles courtesy of Dennis Whalen.

Photos are attached for your enjoyment and we are hopeful that classmates who were present will send more photos for us to share. The good news is that we decided that a 40th class reunion is a must and so in the summer of 2006 we will meet again for all of those unable to join us this first time around. A date will be announced in November.

Please help us find classmates and send us their email address, regular address, and home and cell phone numbers as we update the directory. You may contact us as follows:

  8. Joyce Cumby (black dress with arms folded)
  9. Carol Brooks (brown top, black dress)
  10. Karen Hanson (green top, total wordly possessions in her Big black bag)
  11. Spiro Manthou (up against wall with gray hair--now a Tacoma City Councilman, notice how he is trying to hide and stay out of the limelight, unlike at Mason)
  12. Kathy Pearson (I think you can see her hair as she talks to Spiro)
  13. Diane Michaelson (white capris, red top--now married to classmate Dick Cvitanich)
  14. Marcia Pearson (tall blonde unsuccessfully trying to hide behind Diane)
  15. Brian Anderson (blue shirt, brown pants)
  16. Pete Brady (you can see Pete's very bald head just behind Brian)
  17. Gail Berto (black capris, arms folded)
  18. Jeanne Muir (standing behind Gail, no neck brace which is why you don't recognize her)
  19. Brian Phill (the only classmate to have two first names, wearing navy shirt)
  20. Kathleen Knowlen (now, this is a REAL stretch but I actually think you can see her left foot and long red and white dress in the lower portion of the photo next to Brian--if I guessed right, you can tell I was really paying attention to all of the beauty in the room).
