Looking for Photos from the 30th reunion

Did you attend the 30th reunion and take pictures? I have received some inquiries from people asking about this, wondering if we could add the 30th reunion to the website – which we can. I just need photos. So if you took pictures at San Luis’ and/or at Glen Flora Country Club and can share them for the website, please drop me a note on the website and I will get back to you about how we can connect. If you have them in a digital format, you can send them to whs1973@att.net.

A great way to reacquaint yourself with fellow classmates and to keep up with up to the minute postings.

The Facebook group is Waukegan High School Classes of 72,73,74 , so click on the link and it should take you right to our FB Group. Also keep an eye out for the events page on my FB Page. I will try and keep this up to date with information about formal and informal gatherings.
