35th BMHS Class Reunion!
The Class of 1974 did it again! We celebrated 35 years out of high school and the anniversary of Woodstock with a great reunion!
The rains gave way just in time Friday night for friends to get back together to reminisce and laugh about days past. The Beloit Street Dance provided the venue but the class of 1974 made the party. The Mighty Knights, for the second straight reunion, entertained us at Suds O'Hanahans with their ageless music and talent. Paul Johnson and Dan Lanning brought the boys to together to perform the songs of our youth and got the party rockin'.
The party continued at JAKS on Saturday with a Woodstock theme. Peace signs and photos of the 1969 event decorated the hall in celebration of its 40th anniversary. Jim Long started the program with a memorial of our classmates who have past away. Rest in peace old friends, we miss you. Our emcee, Ian Gregory, entertained us with his quick wit. He demonstrated to the class of 1974 how comfortable we are with each other, even though he had difficulty "digging up the dirt". Then Mirror Image, with our own Dan Lanning on drums, took the stage and provided us with a variety of great music. All this and a wonderful buffet made this reunion one of the best ever!

"Thanks to the committee for another Fantastic job. It's always great to see everyone. I haven't miss one yet and as long as we keep having them I will do my best to be there. I look forward to the next one and hope we can get even better participation. It was my wife Donna's first time and she found everyone very friendly, fun and enjoyed herself. (She was however amazed at the amount of beer we put away.) Somethings never change! It's always good to come home. See you in 5 years."
- Larry Brown
