Upcoming events

  Upcoming Girl’s Luncheon Schedule 2024   I know at our Girl’s Luncheons, we are often enjoying ourselves so much that figuring out where we are going to meet next, can be a challenge.  Since we rotate between several restaurants, I’ve looked at last year’s schedule and have come up with one for the remainder […]

The Burning Question

  A question raised recently on our Everett Class of 1970 – Lansing Facebook page, has prompted me to continue on my quest to find an answer before I leave this earth. On a fairly frequent basis, I get the question “How many were in our graduating class?”  Another question I get is “How many […]

Everett Survey – Your Opinion Matters

Reaching out to our Everett Class of 1970. I was reminded recently, 2025 will be our 55th Reunion. Doesn’t seem possible. The Reunion Committee is soliciting your feedback to assist with our planning process. Our 50+1 reunion had 112 participants (including guests) so planning is critical. If you could provide us with us with your […]

Event Committee

  In 1999, I started becoming involved with the reunion committee.  There have been 6-10 classmates assisting me since this time.  A BIG THANKS for their continued support.  We are always looking for any fresh ideas on how we can keep the reunions so enjoyable. At our event in 2010, attendees expressed an interest in […]

Have you seen these classmates?

This is a rather lengthy listing of classmates that I do not have a current email address for. When you look at the photos taken at reunion events (even recently), they may have attended but their emails are bouncing back because they are no longer valid. Please feel free to forward this website on to […]

Senior Photos

Wandering Down Memory Lane……. A number of classmates have asked me if our Senior Photos are in a central location.  Many have misplaced their yearbooks over the years or may not have purchased one.  I offer my extreme gratitude to Dave Brigham who offered to scan all the senior photos from his yearbook.  I have […]

Yearbook Photos

In addition to Dave Brigham scanning our senior photos, he also scanned the photo pages of our senior yearbook. Nice touch Dave!

Remembering

On many occasions, I’ve been asked if there exists a list of our fellow classmates who are deceased.  The following names have been gathered not only from obituaries posted in the Lansing State Journal, but also from other classmates.  I’m sure there are more, as many of our classmates have moved from the Lansing area.  […]

Those That Taught Us

Following the recent death of a teacher that had a big impact on me during my high school years, I decided to add another section to the Everett Class of 1970 part of my website. Teachers have a huge impact on our lives. Sometimes, it is not until much later in our lives or until […]

Others that Taught Us

As classmates reminiscence, we remember fondly our teachers who influenced our lives.  Among those found:   Mr. Eric Pierson [July 2015] I enjoyed having Mr. Pierson for Physics Class. Another interest we shared, and he furthered my development in, was darkroom photography methods. I have him to thank for his time during many lunch hours […]

Teacher Photos

Our teachers at Everett High School played a significant role in shaping our lives. I believe each one of us had a favorite (or two or three). Again, thanks to Dave Brigham for providing the images from our yearbook for sharing with our classmates.

Classmate Updates

  To be more environmentally friendly, and to keep our reunion costs down (we previously had classmate update information printed into booklets), I’ve added this new section Classmate Updates. I’d like to encourage classmates to email me a paragraph you wish to share (there’s an email link envelope at the bottom of this page), updating […]

What a great 50 + 1 reunion weekend we had (September 24-25)! The weather even cooperated. Our ‘informal’ at Coreys was a huge success, thanks to Bill Corey. Bill, our server Lilly was incredible.

Reunion Photos 2011

At the class reunion in 2010, many classmates suggested we have ‘informal’ reunions every year instead of every five years.  This informal gathering was at Corey’s Lounge in Lansing, Michigan.  The suggestion was great!  Keeps us closer in touch.

Personal Websites of Other Classmates & Everett Link

  It occurred to me, that because our class was so large, other classmates may have personal websites.  If you wish to share your site, I can consider posting it.  I think this might be a good way to network our talents and services.  You can email me through the envelope at the bottom of […]

Since the Second World War countless numbers of Everett individuals have served in the military, while many of them have […]

Everett Alumni Serving in WWII

  Everett Teacher John Zielinski recently made an exciting find.  He came across a large number of photos of Everett Alumni who had served in WWII.  Apparently, it was common for those serving to send their military photo back to their high school.  To honor those that have served, I will be scanning the photos […]
