The annual tradition has been coordinating the individual class reunions with the All Class Picnic. So August 13th in the Park was it, Picnic Site #4, and grilled burgers beat out hot dogs for this year's menu! FW Class of 63 hosted the event.

Eagles 1963  In Memoriam

The idea came up as to where the Class of 63 might gather on Friday for the evening meal and welcoming reunion conversation. Restaurants are crowed and noisy, so why not go back 60 years to our "favorite burger spot" Mrs. Grotto's Burger. Fast forward 60 years and yes, the parking lot has long been paved over and times have changed. Yet, let's do it in the Town Central Park.


The Friday Night gathering was an informal "Granny Grotto's In The Park" with gourmet not-so-greasy burgers and the trimmings. The weather was "Eagle Perfect", and the burgers were incredible flavor, simply taking us back 60 years to Grotto's In and Out Burgers. Pam and Jim Wonn took the lead, organized, and pulled off a genuine feast for our $5 suggested donation.

The Saturday Night Event at the LaQuinta Hotel was an extension of the entire day gathering for conversation.
