Spring is in the air . . .

You can make it a memorable day by pulling up a chair for an enjoyable lunch your MHS 65 classmates on Wednesday, May 6th, 2026, at Hafners about 11:30 am. Join for laughs, stories, maybe some music such as that shared by Pierce Meyers. Come alone or bring a friend. It's time to get to know each other a bit better.

Do 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, May 6th, 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 April 1st, 2026, these classmates and friends met for a bit good cheer: Tom Ahlstrand, Joyce McMinn Strach, Mitch Strach, Christine DeCastecker, Butch Trevor, Sally Robbins Weckel, Phyllis Miller, and Jerry Miller.

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.
