comment by Tammy (Antonson) Sather

Thanks so much to all of you for making our reunion worth all of the time and effort!!  Terri, Blaine, and I are very grateful that so many of you showed up!  It was so AWESOME!!  I hope you all had as much fun as I did!  OH, and I still don't have my voice back!  I also think everyone looks fantastic!!  I am just wondering if John Welch is able to walk today??  Thanks again everyone!  We will keep in touch about what is next!  :) 

comment by Tricia Johnson

Good Morning Friends, Friday night was absolutely so much fun . It was just wonderful to see old familiar but such young looking faces!!! And I just loved those name tags!!! Everyone seems so happy and yes, looks great too!!! I really enjoyed gabbing with all of the kids I went to elementary school with. I think everyone grew but me!!!   Again, it was soooooooooooooo nice to see ALL of you!!!! Keep in touch and take great care!!!! Love Tricia I also wish I could have gabbed longer with everyone but I had just a tad bit of trouble hearing. Anyways ~ I believe we're quite fortunate to have such a nice group of kids as classmates.

comment by Tammy (Shelton) Hanson

Hi Everyone!I had soooo much fun at our 20th!  What a rush!   I did not want it to end!!!  We had the best class and hope to keep in touch with many of you.  I agree- let's do a 25th and make it bigger than our 20th! Thank you to all of you who made our 20th happen.  I can't even tell how grateful I am!!I wish I could have talked to more of you.  And, for those of you I did talk to, I wish I could've talked to you longer.  ;0) Stay in touch.  Feel free to drop me an email (dreembig@charter.net).Big Hugs,Tammy (Shelton) Hanson

comment by David Croke

Real nice Jim!  :)  Hey - I have 2 people who were with me that said you and your truck were safely brought home early that evening.  I am sure this joke will last for years however (at my expense), and I'm OK with that.  See a few of you at Enger Golf Course Friday.  Tee times start at 11:00 a.m.!

comment by Jim Walrers

The picts are great.  I will not be able to attend as I have a birthday party for my 2 year old boy.  I am sure it would be a blast.  Hopefully not as much damage to my truck as the 10th re-union.  Advice:  Don't Let Dave Croke drive your truck.....Hope everyone has fun.  Drop me a line after the reunion so I hear about how it went.

comment by Michelle Ethier (Ihfe)

Thanks Terri, Tammy and Blaine for all your hard work.   Great times were had.  I have a lot of pictures I'd like to share, is there any way we can put something on this site or another site so we can all share pics from this reunion?

comment by Kevin Sifuentes

I got tee times reserved at Enger Golf Course Friday July 25th starting at 11:00 am.    Show up if you can and we will start the party a little early.  Mahalo!

comment by Aaron Bastien

Hello all!Lost, but now found.  Elders have always said the 20 year is better than the 10.  Let's prove that correct! I can't wait to see you-~Aaron

comment by Merton J. DeWitt

I had a great time while I was there.  It was great to see everyone again.  I was especially touched at how many of you had stopped me and thanked me for what I do.  I guess I am not used to that.  So to you that did.  Thank you!  If you would like to stay in touch just shoot me an email.  Until we meet again.  Merton "Jim" DeWitt

comment by Terri Amendola

WOW... just left DubhLinn's... what an awesome night we had! I LOVED seeing all of you! Everybody looked so GOOD! I am already excited for tomorrow night and a possible 25th... what do you think guys... are you ready for an encore? I also loved seeing the Denfeld and East grads... thanks for coming! I wish we could have more time together! I can't believe how hot all the guys still looked! I'm thinking we should do this more often!

comment by Craig Lambert

See ya'll Saturday night! I have a stack of 80's hits to spin! (sorry, no RATT! or DOKKEN!)

comment by Brian Rud

Hello to all you '88 alums! I've decided to jump in the guest book & give a pre-toast before the big night happens (no offense meant to anyone but I might enjoy a cocktail or 2 or 22 that night) so here's to: forgetting people's names often, not recognizing people right away, making a fool out of myself, and enjoying a big thick Guiness @ Dublin's with everybody! Skol!

comment by John Cox

Fight in the alley?  Sweet!  20 years?  I feel old all of a sudden.

comment by Mark Hagen

Ok in this age of the internet and everyone being so connected why do we have so many of us still not found. This is a big deal for us, Lets make an effort to make sure all of us that can be there are there. I will put $5.00 on the Nic VS Adam   alley fight (I just saw Nic he can still rock so unless the Polish power has been training it will be a short fight ) Love and luck to all Mark Hagen

comment by Adam Ward

less than 3 weeks, never thought id see this day?

comment by Jeri (Stevens) Collier

I had a fantastic time at the reunion!  Thanks to everyone who had a hand in putting this all together for us. It was great to talk with so many old friends!  I'm already looking forward to the next time.  Email me anytime at jeri_collier@yahoo.com.

comment by Nic Tucci

Great to see everyone! Thank you to our organizers for all their efforts in putting this together.

comment by Rick Stein

I have not attended any reunions. I am planning on trying to go to this one. (2018)

comment by Kimberly Ouillette/Williams

I am looking forward to coming to the reunion 2013.  I hope i see some of you i have not seen in years. 

comment by Terri Amendola

Hey Guys, Has everyone recovered from the first two weeks of school?  Hope all is well! Keep in touch and add more photos- we love them!

comment by Kimberly Ouillette/Williams

Had a great time seen so many people that I have not seen in a minute!! Sorry I did not stay long but I can\'t wait till the next reunion.

comment by Nic Tucci

Wow! I am still reliving some new memories from seeing so many of you at the reunion.The whole thing had a very comfortable feel for me. I will quote Karl Bodin and say, "What a great group of people we had in our class, I don't think there's a real a-hole in the bunch".I was actually sad to see it all end. I felt like I had been transported back in time, and we had so much fun dancing on Saturday (thanks again Craig for the tunes). Jon Welch is an amazing man, that's all I have to say about that.I have heard it said that your high school years are the best years of your life. I don't know if I totally agree with that statement, but I do agree that some of the best people I've known in my life I got to know in high school.Take care everybody, and please keep posting those pictures, they are priceless.You can reach me at: nictucci@hotmail.comI hope to keep in touch with as many of you as possible.Until next time,-Nic-

comment by Brandon C. Scott

What a terrific time.  It was great to see everyone again and it had been much too long so doing it again in 5 would be perfect.A huge thank-you to everyone that put the time into making this happen.  Also a big shout out to John Welch.............how many "Instant Classics" has Welch provided for us over the years?    Stay in touch.bcscott@sbcglobal.net

comment by Heather Bjornaas

It was great seeing everyone on Friday and Saturday, even if I could not stay to late because of work. Hope to see everone again. My email is peppielepew5@hotmail.com.

comment by Michelle Ethier (Ihfe)

I reposted my pics out on this website.  I kept them also on snapfish for anyone that might want to order.  See you in 5 or 10!!!

comment by Brandon Scott

i would like to say it will be a great time for all of us to get together  again.  see you  soon

comment by Craig Lambert

I wish I hadn't missed out on the Friday night gathering! Sounds like I missed quite a party! I didn't get too much talking done on Saturday so if anyone wants to catch up, send me an email. It was great to see you all!

comment by Dave Lokke

Awesome weekend everyone -- I'm still tired.  Great to see so many people and everyone having fun, especially John Welch who will next be seen on America's Got Talent.  I guess I hung with the people with cameras :)  The guys got taller?  Don't know but I know the women looked great!  For those of you who saw me drop my pants at the Sports Garden, thank you for not taking a picture of that.  CHEERS!

comment by Brian Rud

Cudo's to the reunion organizers!!! Great fun!!! If we don't have a 25th it would be a shame. I had a great time catching up with everyone and reliving all of those great stories from back in the day!

comment by Joanne (Harrison) Hillestad

Too much fun!  I had forgotten about Odie pillows, crazy band trips, fun summer nights just hanging out and being silly.... Thanks to Tammy, Terri, Blaine, Michelle H, and everyone else who helped that I'm forgetting.... for the website and all the planning and organizing.  You all did a fantastic job!  It was fun to see how much taller all the guys got... what's up with that???  Maybe I'm shorter.  I don't remember so much height at the 10 year!  How many of you are pulling out your yearbooks today???  mikeandjo4@frontiernet.net

comment by Stacy Hedrick (Shelerud)

Thanks to everyone who put on the reunion it was a blast!!! Had a great time seeing everyone!! Keep in touch stacyinaz34@yahoo.com

comment by Forrest Williams

I also want to thank Blaine, Terri, Tammy, and everyone else who was involved in organizing the reunion. I had a great time, and it was over much too soon. I would have to say that the highlight for me (besides seeing everyone again) was the John Welch Dance Experience (I’m tempted to produce a commemorative T-shirt). As for the next one, I would also like to see a 25th, with two days at least (there never seems to be enough time to talk with everyone). If you guys need some help with the next one, let me know. over & outforrestwilliams@charter.net

comment by Michelle Ethier (Ihfe)

Okay, I created a room on snapfish...dchs1988.snapfish.com/snapfishwith room entry code being dchs1988.  I think the folders on this site will be filling up fast.  Anyone can post to this folder and we can share and order any pics we want.Funny, I have lots of pictures of Dave too.  He definitely made the rounds!!  Of course, we never spoke 20 years ago and now I had tons to talk to him about.  Strange how that works.

comment by Tracy (Keppers) Ruotsalainen

Friday nite was such a blast!  Tammy, Terri and Blaine did a great job.  I had SUCH a great time talking with people I haven't seen for 20 years - it was all so surreal!  Everyone looked so great, happy and healthy.  I know there were people at Dub's that I didn't get to talk to and wished that I had..such a great turnout!  I really hope there is a 25th.  If any of you want to keep in touch, feel free to email me at tlr@hanftlaw.com.  Hope to see everyone again in 5 years! 

comment by Ed Chabot

Like the other comments, Friday night was great. Blaine, Terri, and all the folks involved did a great job. Thanks for all your time and effort..On a side note, looking at the pictures posted so far I do have a question. Was there more than one Dave Lokke at the party? If his picture keeps popping up any more we will need to change the website to "Dave Lokke Presents the Duluth Central Class of 1988....Featuring Dave Lokke"OK....now let the discussion begin.....

comment by Angie (Titus) Mortvedt

I had a great time at the 10 year and look forward to seeing everyone in July.  It has been fun touching base w/old friends and seeing how our lives have evolved over the past 10/20 years.  A lot of great memories!!  Thanks to everyone who has helped put this website together it has been a great way to get reconnected.  Thanks also to everyone who is involved in making the reunion happen!

Didn't we just have our 10 year?Looking forward to catching up with everyone and enjoying the weekend with friends from near and far!Bob, does your letter jacket fit this time too?

comment by Craig Abernethy

Hi everyone!  This will be my first reunion.  I missed the 10 year..wow!  It's  weird saying "10 year" but now it is already the 20 year.  It might get to a point where it is just best to say, "See you at THE reunion."  You know, we may have to forget about the numbers soon if we keep going the way we are-getting old I mean. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone this summer.  I'm still out here in Scottsdale.  It was about 100 degrees today.  It's only June 3rd!!!!  I get back to Duluth usually once a year.I'm married now and have two kids (9 and 6).  Life is good and busy!  For those of you in AZ -there are several, it might be fun to have a pre-reunion gathering here before he travel to Duluth.  Send me some email.Oh and for all you military people, "Thank you for your work!" Craig

comment by Brandy Soderlund

Looking forward to seeing all of you. Super excited for our 20th, has it really been that long?                 Brandy Soderlund

comment by Matt McClernan

Dave,I look forward to the fight in the alley.  Shouldn't there be a card with Rob Diver on it?  Last I heard from Rob was hes gonna try to make it.Adam, I'd gladly golf with ya all Saturday but alas Leonard, Sifuentes and me are playing the Nemadji Tourny that day.

Just spent the day in Canal Park with my family... I am in awe... we live in such a beautiful and special town! I can't wait to see all of you at the reunion and I hope you all get a chance to spend some time enjoying Duluth with friends and family. We had a really great class of people in '88 & I am looking forward to reconnecting with everyone!Much Love,Terri 

comment by Terri Amendola

Hey... forgot to mention... if you get a chance to take a walk on the boardwalk, you have to stop at Jay Broman's shop for some Bridgeman's ice cream! It is so delicious!

comment by David Lokke

Make sure you prepay and RSVP, even if you are only attending Friday.  The $10 helps pay for this site and for other things that have been done for the reunion and paid for already by Terri and others. VIVA LA TROJANS!

I agree that there would be a warm welcome to see our Denfeld friends Fri. night as well!  I am very excited to see everyone and very grateful to all of you that have been working to put this all together. 

comment by Tammy (Antonson) Sather

Hi Lane,I actually went to Woodland, the cooler school, (hehe) so I don't know you.  But, Friday night is just at Dubhlinn's and anyone is welcome there!  We do have a room reserved but I know everyone will wander out into the bar.  We'd love to have you!  See you there!Tammy :)

comment by Lane Harstad

Hey Central 88 Grads, It seems that the Denfeld 88 class reunion is the same weekend as yours.  There are a number of us Denfeld Grads that would love to see some of the Washington Jr. folks while people are in town.  Denfeld is having only one night (Saturday).  What are your thoughts about some us crashing the Friday nite festivities? 

comment by Alex Freeman

This should be fun.  Can't wait to see everyone.  And i agree, where did 20 years go?

comment by Tammy (Antonson) Sather

Not that my opinion counts either, but I would love to have anyone come who wants to come!  Dave is right, the more the merrier!  Spread the word!!

comment by Dave Croke

Hey gang!  I'm still in Duluth, married, no kids, 1 old dog.  Looking forward to seeing everybody at the reunion.  I hope we get a good turnout - the more the merrier!I think Lambert has to go to the reunion regardless if he's our DJ - get your butt there buddy.  Rice - you might as well come too.  Although, I'm not sure my opinion counts.

comment by Mike Rice

Hey Guys! Was looking up reunion info for my high school - thought I would check out Central class of '88. Between Woodland JH and UMD - many good memories! Work for the US Forest Service, live in Walker, MN - Married 10 years, 2 kids. Have fun at your reunion - cheers! Rice
