The following thank you appeared in the October 17, 2009 edition of the Advertiser-Tribune. It is posted to show that our efforts to assist alumni exists and is appreciated, contrary to what others may say. Thanks to Barb and the '69 Class Reunion committee for the kind remarks.

MANY AIDED REMINISCENCE

The Columbian class of 1969 would like to thank the following for helping us celebrate 40 years since we graduated from high school: Columbian Athletic De­partment, Columbian Alumni Association (John Stoner), Randy Roberts, Shell Shucker's Restaurant and, last but not least, the '69 class committee, Barb Martin Feasel, Becky Raudebaugh Comer, Gary Noller, Jane Thompson, Cathy Gregory Thomas and Alvin Thomas, Rick Felton, Ron Meisner, Jeanie Long Reidel and Donna Margraf Bradley. We all had a great time reminiscing with old classmates on a beautiful fall weekend.
