What, When, and Where

We have a date and place for lunch for our 80th birthday celebration. So mark your calendars now for September 25, 2027, at Cityview view.

*****

It's time for all to meet for lunch 

You can make it a celebration of the change of seasons with longtime friends by pulling up a chair for an enjoyable lunch with your MHS 65 classmates on Wednesday, October 7th, 2026, at Hafners about 11:30 am. Join for laughs, stories, and maybe some football talk. Come alone or bring a friend. It's a good time to get to know each other a bit better.

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.

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 greetings with your classmates as you share memories, song lyrics, as well as news, tips, a joke or two, talk about local sports today, and more.

All are welcome – join in on Wednesday, September 2nd, at 11:30-ish 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 August 5th, 2026, these classmates and friends met for a bit of good cheer. Jerry Miller, Phyllis Miller, Joyce McMinn Strach, Curt Anderson, Bob Groene, Ron Van Daele, Sally Robbins Weckel, Christine DeCastecker, Sharron Shaffer, Betty Bloeser Morgan, Les Morgan, and Mitch Strach.
