The Century High School Class of 1984 monthly update
November 2004

Hello Everyone,

Welcome Class of 1985!

We went to school with, hung out with, shared winning and losing with and even dated people from other classes.  So I have invited the classes of 1981 to 1987 to join the message boards and profiles.  We have gotten quite a few responses from the class of 1985.  I hope a lot more will join. 

I have added two news pages to the website.  One is Fun Facts.  So if you have any ideas to add please pass them on.  An example is who has the most kids.  Another might be first grandma or grandpa.  I know some of you have kids who have or should be graduating from high school.   I know there is a BHS 1981 grad who has 6 grandchildren.
Sounds scary but it will be happening soon.  And it might all ready have but we haven't heard yet.  So if you know of a classmate who is a grandparent pass it on. The other page is the Class of 1984 notes or bulletin board where I'll post notes and website updates.  It there is anything you'd like to add please pass it on.

In the next newsletter I would love to post holiday wishes, holiday photos and Halloween photos.  If you'd like to share a holiday wish or your family photo please email them to me before December 25th and I'll post them.  I would also love to post any Halloween photos of you or your kids.  So send those please. 

UPDATE:  I reported last month of a birth, "Son, Thomas and Jill Ackerman, Bismarck, 7:44 p.m., Sept. 30".  That would be Jill (Olson) Ackerman.  Congrats!

Also more twins to add: Kim (Kouba) Gerkin has twin boys.
Renee (Eckmann) DeWall has twins-a boy and a girl.

I have also found three more teachers; Brad Ruff, Sandra Derickson and Bill Baron.  Check out the teachers page for more on them.  If you know where any teacher is please let me know.

Well that's it for now.  Remember to add your profile.  It's a great way to catch up.  And send in any old or new photos. 

REMEMBER WHEN...

At Halloween time one year we had a group of guys dress up as the Fruit of the Loom fruit.  I remember Glenn Mandigo was a banana and Roger Palmer I think where the grapes.  Does anyone else remember any others that dress up as fruit?   Did you dress up for Halloween this year?  If you have a photo please send it in.  I would love to share them.

Federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the first time in North Dakota.  The trial for Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. has not been set yet.  Rodriguez is accused of killing University of North Dakota student Dru Sjodin nearly a year ago.  Sjodin, 22, disappeared from a Grand Forks parking lot Nov. 22 after leaving her job at a Victoria's Secret. Her body was found in April, after months of searching by family members and volunteers, in a ravine near Crookston, Minn., where Rodriguez, 51, was living with his mother.  Rodriguez, a convicted rapist, was charged in May with kidnapping resulting in the death of Sjodin. He has pleaded not guilty.
