The Class of 1960 60th Reunion
Marilyn Markoff Southern '60 sent in this item

On September 11, 2021 the class of 1960 held its long delayed 60th class reunion. The theme of the reunion was, “Lifelong friends, together again.” 47 graduates, 20 guests and one party crasher enjoyed a great afternoon and early evening at the Seattle Yacht Club. With the ever-changing rules and regulations related to the pandemic and the ever-changing ability of WSDOT to open and close access to the Yacht Club the reunion committee felt lucky with the attendance. They guess that about ten graduates did not attend because of the pandemic issues or the lack of access to the Yacht Club.

The major portion of the reunion was the expected greetings and smiles (sometimes thru masks) when seeing lifelong friends. Hugs were sparse for obvious reasons but the joy of reunion was very evident. The program for the evening had three parts. First, Bob Owen offered a prayer to the Grizzlies we have lost and the victims of September 11, 2001. Second, Marilyn Markoff, the event chair, thanked the members of her committee and the attendees for the effort they made to physically attend, as well as their $1,400 contribution to the scholarship fund. Third, Don Lorentz, the Honorary Mayor of Queen Anne, made a presentation focused on seven exceptional members of our class who have passed away since our graduation. The obvious conclusion from his remarks is that the class of 1960 was and is a very special group of people.

As the event wound down the question that was heard was, will there be a 65th reunion? While the members of the committee did not make a commitment, they agreed that the theme “Lifelong friends, together again” would definitely be reusable based on the fun time had by all.
