50 Years in the Making

More than two-thirds of the Sequim High class of 1963 showed up to celebrate their 50th reunion Aug. 23-24.

 

On Friday night, 31 of the 62 graduates turned out for a barbecue at Mike and Judy Sherk Bromell’s home and another 10 were on hand for a dinner at the Mariner Cafe the next day.
