The group picture was taken on Friday (July 15^th)  in the afternoon at Karns's at Central City. We spent most of the afternoon catching up and also had a delicious BBQ prepared right there.  Several members of the DHS band (now the Northern Hills Band, and included Randy Karns and Jerry Pontius) came and played the school song and we sang and cheered! We gathered on Saturday (July 16th) for a walk on Main Street to recall the businesses that in our day were in the various store fronts, which are now all casinos.  After that we had a gab session on the balcony of the Franklin Hotel.  Some had to leave but others stayed and we ate the evening dinner at the new Lodge on top of the hill coming in from Spearfish, where the old Pine Crest Park used to be and across from Kevin Costner's planned hotel and casino site. On the morning of the 17th we enjoyed a parting breakfast at The Lodge before saying our good-byes until the next time, perhaps in 5 years??????  Special thanks to Larry and Nancy for coordinating all this and making still another great reunion!   Margaret Crary Sager.
