Joe Brown High School

Class of 1958 Reunion
August 29, 1998
The 40th Reunion of the Brown High Class of 1958 was held at the Airport Renaissance Hotel on the 28th and 29th of August, 1998. Jennelou and I were unable to attend on the 28th, but managed to make it for the banquet on the 29th. Below are links to pictures which I took that night as well as earlier class pictures and other miscellaneous pictures I have managed to gather from here and there. I apologize in advance for the poor quality of some of the photos. I am still having some trouble getting proper light and focus working on my digital camera. These pictures are all in JPEG format and can be saved directly onto your PC. I am also sorry that I didn't get a picture of everyone who was there. If anyone has pictures that they would like to see added to this page, scan them and e-mail them to me or send me the originals and I will scan them and return the originals to you or make copies and send them to me. I especially would like to have some pictures from the 8th reunion.
