Alumni honor deceased members

Last year’s Alumni Banquet tables set and ready for the annual event. The 2020 event had to be canceled, but the traditions of the past are being carried on.

Submitted by Paul Heinrich, Class of 1969

One of the features of the program issued to all who attend the Annual Alumni Banquet is the Memorial Listing of all those alumni lost during the year between banquets. Sadly, the 2020 banquet had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, The Alumni Association Board of Directors wanted to share with everyone the names (as we have them) of those who died between the 2019 banquet and the date this year’s banquet was to have been held. All these Alumni will be missed by family and friends.
