Have you ever seen so many black flats and corsages in one photo?

First row, Sara Smith, Marilyn Olson, Rose Marie Peterson, Cathy Bakke, Barb Schultz, Gail Hanson, Lynn Dietz, (not sure),Robin Movald, Barb Vendel, Patti Thompson, Betty Pederson

Okay, that's almost the first row, who's got the next one?

Mark Larson. . .

By the way, Terry Prine is in the photo between Darrell Williams and Greg Johnson. Remember Roger (Gunny) Guenther? Here's in there. (top row between Fladwood and Foss).

Extra credit, name the pastors.

I didn't take out an old yearbook to cheat (ha) so I missed quite a few, especially in the second row Oh and the Pastors were, Art Anfinson and Phillip Westby.

Now, what do I win??

On a somber note, how many of our fellow confirmands are deceased? Quite a few.
