The Final 62nd Reunion of the Class of 1959
While an early 62nd OHS Class of 59 Reunion was held in Louisville, Colorado at
The Huckleberry Dinner
on May 12, 2021 a super final event was planned for October 3, 2021 by the board members of the class of 1959.
The board members of the OHS 1959 year planned a really nice final Grand 62nd Reunion for the 1959 Class of OHS. It was a wonderful event. A dinner was held at Hotel Ottumwa. There was a good turnout and would have been even better if a few more of the class had attended. There was a social hour that was followed by a dinner event with several plate options. Which included Grilled Steak, Baked Pork Roast, Creamed Chicken and Shrimp Scampi.
While the food was very good even better were the communications between those that attended the event.
I have just learned that it has been decided by the Reunion Committee that this will be the last Class Reunion for the Class of 1959. I also learned that some of the folks attending were actually the parents of our classmates that could not travel for the event. But overall I think it was an excellent event and a wonderful opportunity to renew long term friendships with our class members. It was very nice to travel to Ottumwa and relive in the super town that it is.
Thank you all for attending and reliving our education years.
