The PDF file to the right is a story which was published on February 21, 2008, concerning a new Hall of Fame established at Shawnee Mission North. One of the four persons profiled is Merlin Gish, math teacher, football coach, and track coach during our days at Shawnee Mission North.
A BIG "Thank You"... Our entire class owes a huge debt of gratitude to Linda Jones McGuinn, John Sulley, and Bobbi Ulrich Wills for their dedicated work in planning, publicizing, and carrying-out our very successful 45-Year Reunion Party. All of us appreciate the good work these loyal classmates have done over many weeks and months to make our reunion a terrific success.
Reunion Survey
Hi All, now that you are back home and have had some time to reflect on the Reunion on October 7, we would like to get your input and thoughts on what went well and what didn't go so well.
Give us your feelings on:
The Communications about the Reunion
The Location
The Food
The DJ
The Laptop presentation
The Photographers
The Program
Anything else that you would like to comment on and anything you would like to suggest for our 50th....it will be here before we know it.
If you click on one of the links below for Bobbi, Linda or John you can send your thoughts to one of us and not to the website.
Of course any glowing accolades for the committee can go directly to the Website...just kidding.
Classmate Bobbi Ulrich produced a spectacular PowerPoint show which was presented at our 45-Year Class Reunion on October 7, 2006. This show contains hundreds of pictures from our school days as well as nostalgic reminders of those years of our lives, all set to the music of our era. If you saw this show at the reunion, or if you were not at the reunion, and you would like to have a CD of this PowerPoint show, just click on the PDF file to the right and download an order form. Print the form and mail it to Bobbi at the address on the form. All proceeds will go to our class fund for our next big reunion, our 50-Year reunion in 2011. Note: You must have Microsoft PowerPoint on your computer to play this show, or you may download a free PowerPoint player from the Microsoft web site.
Below are some pictures from our 45-year reunion in October of 2006.

A special "Thanks" goes out to Cindy & John Sulley, Marilyn Clayton, Marilyn Roy, Rick Reynolds, Tom Foster, Gary Thomas, Judy Clifford, Bobbi Ulrich, Tom Hufstedler, and Nancy Kirchhoff for contributing these reunion photographs for all of us to enjoy.
NOTICE to those who ordered reunion group pictures from the photographer: The group picture of the entire reunion was printed with an error in the caption... It says "Class of 1966." If you ordered pictures and would like this corrected, the photographer has ordered corrected prints and will replace any bad print with a corrected one. They are only going to send corrected prints out to those who request them. If you would like a corrected print, contact Wilborn and Associates at 816-531-9000 or email them at wilbornphoto@earthlink.net.
