Section 8:  Other Classes / Schools

 

This section will be deleted after October 1, 2010 since our 30th reunion will have been held by then.  Perhaps you are like me and dislike it when sites that you rely on suddenly disappear without warning or when they lose their worth because they are not updated frequently enough.

 

This entire site is scheduled to be taken down at the end of August 2011.

 

 

The websites and discussion groups listed below are each devoted to a specific graduating class.

 

Information on reunions is given so interested alumni can at least know if an organizing group exists for a particular class.

 

=======================================

As of July 2008, the author of the site above, Mr. G. Baesel (BHS '54), has put up a labor of love called ÒA Trip down Memory LaneÓ.  It is 14 pages full of old and new photos devoted to the history of the city of Berea, and to places nearby known to many of us.  Go here to start.

There is a link from it to a homemade, online museum devoted to Berea.

This website is a must for anyone who graduated in the 60s.
