The Abbotsford class of 1956 held its 50th class reunion Aug. 12 at the El Norteno Banquet and Conference Center, Curtiss, Wis.

Galen Olson led us in prayer and welcomed out two guests, Rosalind Kramer and Joan and Thorwald Frost, after which dinner was served and followed by a short program. Chuck Klieforth entertained us on the lighter side of being a senior citizen. Dennis Kieser took the class picture and put together photo books featuring our 45th and 50th pictures.

It was voted on holding the next reunion in four years, along with the class of 1955.
