We " Moscow Bears" just keep shuffling along! Some of us were able to meet in Coeur d’Alene the 27th for a lake cruise and pizza, viewing pictures of our class and lots of fun talking about OLD times. And Bill, as usual, had the pictures on the big screen. Of course, Bill has found AI, so he " improved" some of our high school pics, so we are "flawless" and more colorful in looks than was reality! 👌🥳👍   Thank you to all who were able to join us!  I think I can speak for all in saying we really had a wonderful time. Thank you, Bill, for putting this together. You have kept our class united for many, many, years!

Here are a few pictures of our May 2026 get together...

Well...61 years since we had our last dance or class at Moscow High! We have been through many challenges and rewards and have made it all the way to being septuagenarians and headed to being octogenarians! We definitely need to get together soon , as we have 61 years to chat about!!

Life is sooo good! I had a fantastic weekend getting together with a bunch of old people...just like me! We had a fun, fun 60th high school class reunion..August 23-24, 2024... at the Best Western in Moscow.Gone were the nimble teens of '64...we no longer desired to twist on the dance floor; instead we formed a circle of chairs on the dance floor and sat and talked and laughed and were completely happy! Old friends, old boyfriends, old girlfriends, old rivals, quiet people, loud people, from all walks of life, had one wonderful thing in common....we hung out together in high school!!

Special thanks to you, Bill Sever, for your desire and sleuthing ability to bring us all together. Thanks to all who helped this reunion happen and thanks to Denny for providing the tunes that really moved us in high school! Let's take care of ourselves so we can do this again in 5 years!!!

It's almost 55 years since we graduated from MHS, and we still enjoy getting together for reunions! At our 40th reunion Marilyn and I reunited with Mary and Bonnie, and off to Vegas we went. By 2007, Linda had joined us, and we became the "fun five". We spent the next 12 years going on wild and crazy retreats, from Lincoln City to Seattle to points in- between. A few pictures will show our crazy times and places.  

We hope to see many of you June 28! 

Getting together and having fun!

Hi all,

We've made it 45 years! I am so looking forward to seeing all of you June 5th!

After moving around the country the first 15 years after high school, we finally settled thirty miles away from Moscow! I have lived here in Clarkston for 30 years.

After almost thirty years of teaching,I retired two years ago. I absolutely loved working with children. I was very blessed to have such a wonderful profession! (However, I love retirement!!!) I have two wonderful daughters, two wonderful sons-in-law and two and a half fantastic grandchildren!

After our 40th reunion, a group of us reunited and have experienced some great times. Bonnie (Nelson) Aplington, Mary (Cossairt) Spilva, Linda (Daily Mix, Marilyn (Haley) Shea and I go traveling once a year. We are as crazy now as we were in high school! Life is totally fun!
