Akeley All Class Reunion A Great Success
I would like to thank all that
attended the all class reunion for Akeley, for you came from all
parts of the U.S... There were approximately 300 registered.
I personally want to thank Chris
Congers and all his helpers for the use of the gym, and for setting
up all the chairs etc., co-workers that worked with me such as Gary
and Carole Hendricks, Marie Erickson Crosby. Leroy Miller, Deloris
Lamb and our web page coordinator, Larry Stiffler, who did a
fantastic job, and I thank him for that.
Then there were the ones that spoke,
registered names, worked at food stands, provided music and judged,
plus the many other jobs of just getting things ready for the
weekend.
Those attending and receiving awards
at the reunion were: Oldest female, Frances Lamb, (class of 1933).
Fred Johnson also graduating from that class was unable to attend.
Oldest male attending went to Clarence Olafson, (class of 1940).
Those coming the furthest were female, Verna Olson Herrero from
Orange County, California and male, Louis Hart from Tampa, Florida.
The award for the male and female that changed the least was given
to Frank Lamb Jr., class of 1980 and Wanda Lamb Lindow, class of
1981.
The class of 1965 had the best
representation with many other classes just
under them in numbers.
The teacher attending that had the
most years taught in Akeley was given
to Jan Lundsten.
Recognition was given to all former
teachers, bus drivers, custodians and
school board members in attendance
The Saturday program ended with
singing the Akeley High School song led by
Lanny Schmeideberg.
Big Thanks to Akeley VFW for
providing a place for us to have a dance
and those that set in using their
musical talents.
Sunday was spent with individual
class picnics and an all class picnic at the lake
which were all well attended.
Thanks again to all and we will see
you all in the year of 2010.
