The following is a note from Shirley Kersten ’47 –

“Yes, there are a few of us 1947 grads! Missed us in the Class News notes. I’m in San Gabriel Assisted Living facility here in Rochelle (northern) Illinois. Went to 65th Class Reunion but there wasn’t any special gathering place at the luncheon for the 65ers so only 5 of us found each other. I’m 92 and am writing a pictoral history of the farming operations on our farm in the 1930’s – also family, school and church history in the greatest little village in northern Illinois – my hometown of Steward, population 250! Size: 4 blocks wide 6 blocks long.”
