Hello Classmates
Wow it has been a short 60 years since we graduated from Lakeview High School. Our last class reunion (56) was four years ago at Riverside Country Club. There has been a lot that has happened over the past four years in the world. Hopefully we will all be able to get together again this year for a mini reunion.
We are not planning, however, to have a formal 60th year class reunion as we have had in the past. Our thoughts are to have a “Meet and Greet” event at one of the local restaurants in the Battle Creek area. Each attendee will be responsible for paying for their own food and beverage. We are considering one of the following restaurants:
- Miller Time Out
- MoonRaker
- Cricket Club
Our thoughts are for an event in September 2026. We are asking for those of you who are interested in attending to let us know by June 30, 2026. We will send out details of the event once we receive your confirmation of attendance. Send your response to rhammnd@aol.com.
We look forward to seeing you in September.
Regards,
Rick Hammond

Too long ago to remember if I skipped school ( which I doubt). I became more of a rebel in college ( during the late 60's) and continue to be such as a mature (sort of) adult. I have had a most interesting life ( and still do). Proud mom of 2 grown millenials, (a daughter who was a successful actress turned attorney); I was a teacher ( now a virtual learning tutor during C19) an interviewer of holocaust survivors.... (thanks to Steven Spielberg's foundation). My most proud accomplishment are my two grandsons! Love them to the moon and back.
Also proud of the town I grew up in, with very good memories, which shaped me into who I have been for the past several decades.
Wish you all a happy and healthy journey in this event called life.

After all our activities and especially the tour of the "old" high school, it seemed normal to see all your faces. Now I have to go through missing you all again.
Have a great summer and always remember:
" What us got?
Us got a lot!
Us got a team that's (clap) Red Hot!"

Thanks to the Reunion community for our great reunion. I imagine it was like planning a large formal wedding: you obsess over every little detail for over a year and pray for good weather.
After all your work, the big day arrives. Your planning and praying pay off.
The you realize the the day is still just 24 hours. You go through it in a kind of dream state and don't remember how it took a year to plan.
The day ends and you wonder why you worried
about anything.
Go Spartans!

Hallo
I am from Sweden and was an exchange student at Lakeview 1965-66. I am sorry I do not have the possibility to come to the reunion. I am away on vacation with my husband, children and grandchildren during the time for reunion.
I live in Sweden, in the countryside, some miles from a town called Orebro. We live in a small farm and have some horses and a dog. We have two children who now have their own families and we have four grandchildren, all girls.
I am a childpsychologist and have worked with children with different handicaps. I have now retired.
I hope you all will have a very nice reunion!
Lots of love
Marianne Alén (Adler)
