Hey Everyone,
We are excited to announce that we will have a photo booth at the Mid Seventies 50th Reunion for everyone to use. There is no extra charge for these photos, or for the NOW/THEN keepsake collage. Here is an example of the personalize front cover and the actual inner collage with the then picture along the space to put the picture we take the evening of the reunion. Should be fun
Large group photos for boys’ & girls’ sports teams, musical groups, organizations, clubs, band groups, and grade school classmates will be used to create NOW/THEN collages. The post card size photos will be printed on-site immediately and added to the NOW slot of the collage. THEN yearbook photos of your large group will already be added to the collage. In order to have the correct number of THEN photos available for your group, please designate a “photo captain” who will contact classmates. The Reunion Committee can provide a roster of classmates from THEN yearbook photos, and their emails to the “photo captain.” Six organizations have already started organizing :
- Football 1974-1977 “Photo Captains” are Kevin Woods and Gene Finocchio
- Soccer 1973-1977 “Photo Captains” are Gary Heck & Joe Morgan
- Pom Pon Squads 1976-1977 “Photo Captain” is Mindy Berry Giacin
- Student Council 1975 “Photo Captain” is Bob Willner

- Girls Volleyball 1975 - "Photo Captain" Mary Henneberger Dusold
- Wizard of Odd Aud 1975 - "Photo Captain" is Jean Schomaker
- Epiphany Gradeschool 1971 -"Photo Captain" is Linda Curran
These photos will also be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. You will thus be able to save and then print photos yourself if you want a different size.
Large group photographs for the NOW/THEN collages will start at 7 PM.
Around 8 PM the photographer will switch to the photo booth format for smaller groups up to ten people at a time. These postcard size photos will be printed on-site immediately and be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. These will be candid photos; no planning or “photo captains” are needed!
In addition, we will provide a download link on our reunion website to a digital gallery of all photos after the event.
We can help with finding the classmates for your NOW/THEN photo. If interested in participating, please contact Bob Willner at raw81056@aol.com or Diane Ortleb Robinson at dianemarierobinson99@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 25 and sharing fun times once again.

Join us for a night of reminiscing and kicking off the reunion weekend.

Hey Everyone,
We are excited to announce that we will have a photo booth at the Mid Seventies 50th Reunion for everyone to use. There is no extra charge for these photos, or for the NOW/THEN keepsake collage. Here is an example of the personalize front cover and the actual inner collage with the then picture along the space to put the picture we take the evening of the reunion. Should be fun
Large group photos for boys’ & girls’ sports teams, musical groups, organizations, clubs, band groups, and grade school classmates will be used to create NOW/THEN collages. The post card size photos will be printed on-site immediately and added to the NOW slot of the collage. THEN yearbook photos of your large group will already be added to the collage. In order to have the correct number of THEN photos available for your group, please designate a “photo captain” who will contact classmates. The Reunion Committee can provide a roster of classmates from THEN yearbook photos, and their emails to the “photo captain.” Six organizations have already started organizing :
- Football 1974-1977 “Photo Captains” are Kevin Woods and Gene Finocchio
- Soccer 1973-1977 “Photo Captains” are Gary Heck & Joe Morgan
- Pom Pon Squads 1976-1977 “Photo Captain” is Mindy Berry Giacin
- Student Council 1975 “Photo Captain” is Bob Willner
- Cross Country 1974-1977 "Photo Captain" is Dave Ford
- Senior Class Officers 1976 "Photo Captain" is Steve Jeffery
- Busch Gradeschool 1971 "Photo Captains" are Bart Freer & Woody Woodward
- Stage Band 1975 "Photo Captain" is Mark Thomsen
- Mallinckrodt Gradeschool 1970,1971,1972 are Sue Reineke & Mary Ann Kavadas
- Girls Volleyball 1975 - "Photo Captain" Mary Henneberger Dusold
- Wizard of Odd Aud 1975 - "Photo Captain" is Jean Schomaker
- Epiphany Gradeschool 1971 -"Photo Captain" is Linda Curran
These photos will also be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. You will thus be able to save and then print photos yourself if you want a different size.
Large group photographs for the NOW/THEN collages will start at 7 PM.
Around 8 PM the photographer will switch to the photo booth format for smaller groups up to ten people at a time. These postcard size photos will be printed on-site immediately and be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. These will be candid photos; no planning or “photo captains” are needed!
In addition, we will provide a download link on our reunion website to a digital gallery of all photos after the event.
We can help with finding the classmates for your NOW/THEN photo. If interested in participating, please contact Bob Willner at raw81056@aol.com or Diane Ortleb Robinson at dianemarierobinson99@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 25 and sharing fun times once again.

Join us for a night of reminiscing and kicking off the reunion weekend.

Hey Everyone,
We are excited to announce that we will have a photo booth at the Mid Seventies 50th Reunion for everyone to use. There is no extra charge for these photos, or for the NOW/THEN keepsake collage. Here is an example of the personalize front cover and the actual inner collage with the then picture along the space to put the picture we take the evening of the reunion. Should be fun
Large group photos for boys’ & girls’ sports teams, musical groups, organizations, clubs, band groups, and grade school classmates will be used to create NOW/THEN collages. The post card size photos will be printed on-site immediately and added to the NOW slot of the collage. THEN yearbook photos of your large group will already be added to the collage. In order to have the correct number of THEN photos available for your group, please designate a “photo captain” who will contact classmates. The Reunion Committee can provide a roster of classmates from THEN yearbook photos, and their emails to the “photo captain.” Six organizations have already started organizing :
- Football 1974-1977 “Photo Captains” are Kevin Woods and Gene Finocchio
- Soccer 1973-1977 “Photo Captains” are Gary Heck & Joe Morgan
- Pom Pon Squads 1976-1977 “Photo Captain” is Mindy Berry Giacin
- Student Council 1975 “Photo Captain” is Bob Willner
- Cross Country 1974-1977 "Photo Captain" is Dave Ford
- Senior Class Officers 1976 "Photo Captain" is Steve Jeffery
- Busch Gradeschool 1971 "Photo Captains" are Bart Freer & Woody Woodward
- Stage Band 1975 "Photo Captain" is Mark Thomsen
- Mallinckrodt Gradeschool 1970,1971,1972 are Sue Reineke & Mary Ann Kavadas
- Girls Volleyball 1975 - "Photo Captain" Mary Henneberger Dusold
- Wizard of Odd Aud 1975 - "Photo Captain" is Jean Schomaker
- Epiphany Gradeschool 1971 -"Photo Captain" is Linda Curran
These photos will also be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. You will thus be able to save and then print photos yourself if you want a different size.
Large group photographs for the NOW/THEN collages will start at 7 PM.
Around 8 PM the photographer will switch to the photo booth format for smaller groups up to ten people at a time. These postcard size photos will be printed on-site immediately and be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. These will be candid photos; no planning or “photo captains” are needed!
In addition, we will provide a download link on our reunion website to a digital gallery of all photos after the event.
We can help with finding the classmates for your NOW/THEN photo. If interested in participating, please contact Bob Willner at raw81056@aol.com or Diane Ortleb Robinson at dianemarierobinson99@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 25 and sharing fun times once again.

Hey Everyone,
We are excited to announce that we will have a photo booth at the Mid Seventies 50th Reunion for everyone to use. There is no extra charge for these photos, or for the NOW/THEN keepsake collage. Here is an example of the personalize front cover and the actual inner collage with the then picture along the space to put the picture we take the evening of the reunion. Should be fun
Large group photos for boys’ & girls’ sports teams, musical groups, organizations, clubs, band groups, and grade school classmates will be used to create NOW/THEN collages. The post card size photos will be printed on-site immediately and added to the NOW slot of the collage. THEN yearbook photos of your large group will already be added to the collage. In order to have the correct number of THEN photos available for your group, please designate a “photo captain” who will contact classmates. The Reunion Committee can provide a roster of classmates from THEN yearbook photos, and their emails to the “photo captain.” Six organizations have already started organizing :
- Football 1974-1977 “Photo Captains” are Kevin Woods and Gene Finocchio
- Soccer 1973-1977 “Photo Captains” are Gary Heck & Joe Morgan
- Pom Pon Squads 1976-1977 “Photo Captain” is Mindy Berry Giacin
- Student Council 1975 “Photo Captain” is Bob Willner
- Cross Country 1974-1977 "Photo Captain" is Dave Ford
- Senior Class Officers 1976 "Photo Captain" is Steve Jeffery
- Busch Gradeschool 1971 "Photo Captains" are Bart Freer & Woody Woodward
- Stage Band 1975 "Photo Captain" is Mark Thomsen
- Mallinckrodt Gradeschool 1970,1971,1972 are Sue Reineke & Mary Ann Kavadas
- Girls Volleyball 1975 - "Photo Captain" Mary Henneberger Dusold
- Wizard of Odd Aud 1975 - "Photo Captain" is Jean Schomaker
- Epiphany Gradeschool 1971 -"Photo Captain" is Linda Curran
These photos will also be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. You will thus be able to save and then print photos yourself if you want a different size.
Large group photographs for the NOW/THEN collages will start at 7 PM.
Around 8 PM the photographer will switch to the photo booth format for smaller groups up to ten people at a time. These postcard size photos will be printed on-site immediately and be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. These will be candid photos; no planning or “photo captains” are needed!
In addition, we will provide a download link on our reunion website to a digital gallery of all photos after the event.
We can help with finding the classmates for your NOW/THEN photo. If interested in participating, please contact Bob Willner at raw81056@aol.com or Diane Ortleb Robinson at dianemarierobinson99@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 25 and sharing fun times once again.

We're excited to announce a Meet & Greet on the night before the reunion at the American-Czech Educational Center (4690 Lansdowne Ave, 63116).

Hey Everyone,
We are excited to announce that we will have a photo booth at the Mid Seventies 50th Reunion for everyone to use. There is no extra charge for these photos, or for the NOW/THEN keepsake collage. Here is an example of the personalize front cover and the actual inner collage with the then picture along the space to put the picture we take the evening of the reunion. Should be fun
Large group photos for boys’ & girls’ sports teams, musical groups, organizations, clubs, band groups, and grade school classmates will be used to create NOW/THEN collages. The post card size photos will be printed on-site immediately and added to the NOW slot of the collage. THEN yearbook photos of your large group will already be added to the collage. In order to have the correct number of THEN photos available for your group, please designate a “photo captain” who will contact classmates. The Reunion Committee can provide a roster of classmates from THEN yearbook photos, and their emails to the “photo captain.” Six organizations have already started organizing :
- Football 1974-1977 “Photo Captains” are Kevin Woods and Gene Finocchio
- Soccer 1973-1977 “Photo Captains” are Gary Heck & Joe Morgan
- Pom Pon Squads 1976-1977 “Photo Captain” is Mindy Berry Giacin
- Student Council 1975 “Photo Captain” is Bob Willner
- Cross Country 1974-1977 "Photo Captain" is Dave Ford
- Senior Class Officers 1976 "Photo Captain" is Steve Jeffery
- Busch Gradeschool 1971 "Photo Captains" are Bart Freer & Woody Woodward
- Stage Band 1975 "Photo Captain" is Mark Thomsen
- Mallinckrodt Gradeschool 1970,1971,1972 are Sue Reineke & Mary Ann Kavadas
- Girls Volleyball 1975 - "Photo Captain" Mary Henneberger Dusold
- Wizard of Odd Aud 1975 - "Photo Captain" is Jean Schomaker
- Epiphany Gradeschool 1971 -"Photo Captain" is Linda Curran
These photos will also be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. You will thus be able to save and then print photos yourself if you want a different size.
Large group photographs for the NOW/THEN collages will start at 7 PM.
Around 8 PM the photographer will switch to the photo booth format for smaller groups up to ten people at a time. These postcard size photos will be printed on-site immediately and be sent to your phone once you provide your phone number. These will be candid photos; no planning or “photo captains” are needed!
In addition, we will provide a download link on our reunion website to a digital gallery of all photos after the event.
We can help with finding the classmates for your NOW/THEN photo. If interested in participating, please contact Bob Willner at raw81056@aol.com or Diane Ortleb Robinson at dianemarierobinson99@gmail.com.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, October 25 and sharing fun times once again.
