Time to Join Your Classmates and Friends

HAFNERS — A Moline institution where the food is excellent and the fellowship even better--especially at lunchtime when members of the MHS class of '65 gather. Come exchange warm greetings with your classmates as you share memories as well as news, tips, a joke or two, and talk about the 250th, local sports today, and more. 

All are welcome--join in on Wednesday, July 1st, at 11:30ish and every first Wednesday of the month in the future. Mark your calendar today and ask Alexa, Siri , or Grok to remind you, too.

On June 3rd, 2026, these classmates and friends met for a bit good cheer: Tom Ahlstrand, Jerry Miller, Phyllis Miller, Butch Trevor, Sally Robbins Weckel, Christine DeCastecker, Ron Van Daele, Sharon Shaffer, Barry Curtis, and Bob Groene.

Our Foreign Exchange Student -- Nazek Fahmy Habib

It's been far too long (50+ years) since we've heard much from our class exchange student, Nazek Fahmy, but Mary Parsons Caisley, her Moline host, recently met up with her in Alexandria, Egypt. It looks like a joyous reunion.  And we've been given the okay to post these pictures of them now.  Hopefully we can get a little more information later.

More photos. . . 

If you'd like to post photos, just let us know or just add to the albums already available under the section called Photos: Then and Now.  Two more albums were added recently for the 30th and 35th reunions.  Please feel free to include your photos in them.  You never know when they might put a smile on someone's face.
