RIHS Class of 1959's
65th Birthday Bash!
July 15, 2006 at the RI
Moose Lodge
What a
great party! More than 125 class members and spouses came
to celebrate our 65th birthdays together. A delicious
buffet meal was served by the Moose Lodge and the talking
and reminiscing was non-stop!
| Two Celebrations--One night! One RIHS '59
couple celebrated more than their birthdays at
the party. Our classmates Gerald McCarthy and
Helen Alloway were also enjoying their 45th
Wedding Anniversary that night, unbeknownst to
most of us on the committee.
We
want to take this opportunity to give them a
belated congratulations! We're glad they chose to
celebrate the occasion with us.
Jerry
and Helen McCarthy still live in the Q-C area
and they both enjoy traveling and gardening. They
have two grown sons, one in Davenport and one in
Columbus, Ohio. We are pleased that they came to
our birthday party and were able to celebrate
their anniversary with friends a day earlier.

 Forty-five years!! Enjoy
many more, Jerry and Helen!

The two photos with people

spouses enjoyed a great Sunday brunch.
