Around Town

Around Town
The Roosevelt High School Class of 1980 held a class reunion last month with an event at Dreams and Dragonflies in Johnstown and a picnic at the park in Thompson River Ranch. Kim Jordanger Lazenby traveled the farthest from New Hampshire. A total of 62 people were in attendance, of which 32 were class members. The group also toured the new high school and the former RHS (now middle school). Those on the tour were very impressed and said, “We sure hope that all of the current Roosevelt High School students appreciate what they have!” The group has committed to staying in touch and feel so lucky that they were able to grow up in a small town. Something else unique (and sad) was that Charleen Barr, one of the class sponsors, passed away the week of the reunion. The group raised a memorial fund and contributed to the Glenn A. Jones library in her name. Got a picture for Page 3? An item for Around Town? Send them to [email protected]. Photo by Caden Knowles/Information by Deniece Cook

Kudos to the Town of Milliken Festival Committee and Town of Milliken staff on a successful Beef ‘N Bean Day this past weekend. A day of festivities takes nearly a year to plan, and Milliken did right by its residents, even coming up with a safe way they could shoot off fireworks.

The Breeze had a surprise visit this week. Former resident Jim Dowling stopped in with his daughter to say hello. How lovely to see him. It’s always nice to have people drop in, old friends and new.
