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 reunion, local sports today, and more. 

All are welcome--join in on Wednesday, March 4th, at 11:30ish and every first Wednesday of the month in the future. Mark your calendar today and ask Alexa or Siri to remind you, too.

On January 7th, 2026, these hardy folks braved winter weather for a bit good cheer: Jack Brown, John Katherman, Tom Ahlstrand, Mitch Strach, Joyce McMinn Strach, Chris Michaelsen Decastecker, Sharron Shaffer, Ron Van Dale, Butch Trevor, Patty DeLeon, and Barry Curtis.

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.
