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.com
I hope to keep in touch with as many of you as possible.
Until next time,
-Nic-

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

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.

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

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.

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.....

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!

Okay, I created a room on snapfish... dchs1988.snapfish.com/snapfish with 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.

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

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???
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!

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!"
