2011 Alumni Reunion
View photos from the 2011 alumni reunion weekend.
Looking forward to an exciting time with the class of 1962. Was surprised to see the Pacemaker…I’d designed the cover and some of the pages inside. Good memories. Art
Hello-
Shirley and I will be attending our 35th COMS reunion this coming June and we both are hoping that a lot our classmates will be making this trip. Stan Skopit made the trip out for our 25th reunion and the turnout was disappointing. This time, we will be calling classmates that we were friendly with and encouraging them to attend. This really can be a really great time for everyone! SO CLASS OF 1977, MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW!!! Looking forward to seeing ALL of you there!

My wife (Twyla) and I plan to attend. Am especially interested in the list of classmates. Is anything left of the old school or Babe’s?
Hello Dr. Otte- we are so pleased you are returning to Des Moines for your reunion. Feel free to give me a call and we can help you personally with anything you need for a wonderful weekend. We are working on all of the details to make the trip for the two of you a great experience.

Hi Carl, The old coms was razed long ago, and Babes also is long gone. Not the same DesMoines
