The Spring Valley Class of 1955 celebrated their 68th class reunion on June 21, 2023, at the VFW club room in Spring Valley. Dinner was served at noon. They invited the classes of 1954 and 1956 to join for the dessert bar and beverages at 1:30 p.m. to reminisce. Several had replied they were unable to come. Darlene (Freimark) Jordahl and Anna Mae (Costello) Christenson represented the class of 1954. There were two replies from the class of 1956 – Ron Freimark and Faye Alger could not come. Those who who replied from the 1955 class were Ann (Braunlow) Anderson, Steve Collins, Jein Groth, Gerrie (Hovey) Webster, Ruth (Hintze) Lemke and Gary Kasten. There were 10 classmates in attendance.
Later afternoon, word was received that Ruth (Hintze) Lemke had passed away. About a month later, on July 25, Gerrie (Hovey) Webster passed away. Those families have our sympathy. We have 25 class members left out of 47. God willing, we are looking forward to our 70th year class reunion in 2025.
