Way to go Ron and Sandy! 

Ron Laird, who was a Powell, WY coach and high school athletic director for 26 years, has been inducted into the National Federation of High School Associations’ Hall of Fame. Laird was among 11 individuals selected nationwide for the honor. Membership in the Hall of Fame is the highest honor an individual associated with high school sports can receive. During his outstanding career in education-based activities, Laird made numerous contributions at the local, state and national levels.

Sandy McCaffree, founder of Billings-based nonprofit Blankets and Bears, has written her first children’s book. Forever Little Bear tells the story of a little girl who is gifted a stuffed bear and how she grows up with it and then gives the bear to another little girl. It teaches children how to be a kind, loving, caring friend. For every book sold, three additional copies will be purchased to be donated. The book is available in Billings at This House of Books and at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It may soon be in Billings schools, hospitals, libraries, and pediatric centers.   

Big-time congrats, Ron and Sandy!

1973 was a pivotal year in rock and roll.

Rock on everyone!

1973 Video

The people in this video are strangers, but the year we know well.  

Leap into the new year (safely)! 

The sun has set on 2024. Dive into 2025 with a positive spirit. The glass may not be half full but you can order another round. Beer, wine, sparkling water or a toddy, happy new year, everybody. May we all thrive and come out alive in '25!
 

Wishing you a vintage holiday season! 

Hoping for a white Christmas, but red will work as well. Give everyone a big hug because time is flying and you never know what will happen next. Remember the four stages in life: 1) You believe in Santa Claus. 2) You don't believe in Santa. 3) You are Santa. 4) You look like Santa. Best wishes to you and yours!

Our Skyline Bench is Up and Running!

We are glad to report that the bench all three schools chipped in to buy through a GoFundMe effort has been installed along the new, fabulous Skyline Trail on our beloved Rimrocks.  The bench is situated just a little east of "Fenceline," so you know the area.  The view is wonderful. Thank you to Karen Tanner (Central) for spearheading this project.  Our legacy is now cemented in stone (brass).

  Reunion photos are a kick                

Check out the reunion photos from Friday and Saturday night. On the left menu bar at the top is Reunion Photos. It has links for Google Drive and Facebook. The older we get the better we used to be - and still are! 
 

Thank You to Mark MacLeod (Senior '73) for this cool drone shot he took free of charge at our Saturday night event at ZooMontana.  Where's Waldo? Or, in this case, where's Geno (hint: he's the blue blur in the front). Mark is a photographer in Bozeman if you need a photographer in that area (Highlanderphoto.com). He also said he's up for just having a beer.
