In the evening, the gathering moved to the Biddeford-Saco Elks Lodge #1597, for a night of good food by Lucky Loggers, both located in Saco. Classmates enjoyed reminiscing about the “good ol’days” of the 1960s and beyond.

On Aug. 20, the Tigers and guests came together at the First Parish Meetinghouse, an historic colonial meeting house located in Biddeford, for a “Memorabilia” BBQ, sponsored by the University of New England. A brief history of the area was presented by Dana Peck and Denis Letellier, two classmates and former Biddeford Historical Society presidents as well.

That evening culminated with the class dinner and dance social at Duffy’s Galley Ballroom located in Old Orchard Beach. The crowd danced the night away to the tunes provided by Bruce Marin of Biddeford. .

Classmates and guests shared two memorable days, and look forward to the 60th reunion.
