Our Mini 2023 reunion has happened and it was a great time for all that attended. It consisted mainly of classmates from the local area although a few drove several hundred miles to make it.

Photos of the 2023 mini reunion are HERE

Mark your calendars, because it's coming!!  Please join us for a mini-reunion dinner at C&J BBQ, 2123 Briargate Dr., Bryan, TX. on Saturday, October 21, 6-8PM.  It will be dutch treat, and we'll pass the hat to try and completely defray the room rental cost not made whole by food purchases.

A group of us (JIm Miller, Martha Austin, Greg Crow, TD Palmos, Sandy Douglas, Jane Poe and I) got to talking and decided that we just couldn't wait until 55 to see each other again.  

We are working to find a hotel that might offer us a break on room rates for anyone who might be interested.  Please let us know whether you might be able to attend the dinner and as ASAP if you might want to take advantage of the overnight option.  

We are certainly open to suggestions, as we'd like to make this a really fun get-together.

With great anticipation,

Stuart

p.s.

For those wondering why the change of venue and why this is planned so far in advance is (1) The Phillips Event Center was severely damaged in the February 2021 winter storm with reopening not planned for a far distant time and (2) with restrictions having been opened up in Texas and the number of events previously postponed the local venues are booking up quickly.

And ... have you made your reservations for OUR SFA Class of 1970 50 yr reunion on April 2, 2022? And hotel reservations at the Stella Hotel at our special rate? More info at our CLASS REUNION PAGE https://sfaclassof70.myevent.com.

The 45 year reunion is now in the history book. The venue was the Bryan Ballroom, otherwise known as the KC Hall. Catering was furnished by J Cody's. Live music was by the fabulous Rockafellas. Michael Kelling Photography was on hand to shoot our group picture as well as individual pictures taken at random throughout the reunion.

The 40 Year Reunion is now a part of history.


Personal photos taken during the reunion will be posted here as soon as possible.


A professional photographer was on hand and took random photos throughout the reunion, which all went onto a CD as photos and a slide show. They also took the classmate group photo. Both items were processed on site and went home with whoever paid for them. You can still purchase either or both by contacting:

 Hello Classmates!
Our site became active on April 10, 2005. We hope to make this a place to come and keep up with class events and to stay in touch, without the expense and advertising encountered on sites like ClassMates.com. It is also the place where we will maintain a database of members for years to come. It is up to you to update your information as it changes. This information will be the main source for sending invitations to the 45 Year Class Reunion as well as future reunions. 

Reunion pictures are beginning to come in. Click HERE for page one, HERE for page two, HERE for page three. Multiple pages are being used in case your internet speed is slow. We will put names to go along with the pictures as soon as possible.

Many compliments and much praise was received by me and the other reunion committee members at the reunion. This included both the reunion itself and our web site. Although our 35 and 40 Year Reunions are now history, more feedback would be appreciated. This can consist of what you liked about it and/or did not like about it. Any ideas about the 45 Year Reunion are welcome. 

Teachers and administrators were invited as our honored guests. Several attended and we thank those that did for coming.

We are accepting pictures of you and /or family or anything you feel is appropriate in either digital format (jpg, gif, etc.) or actual photos to show on the site.

If you own a business or provide a service, feel free to include that information along with any pictures or images submitted.
