The Marion Class of 1956 held their 50th reunion on Oct. 7, at the Historic Phelps Hotel.

On Saturday morning a few of the men went golfing at the Erie Falcon in Newark.

Saturday afternoon some of the class members gathered at the Marion Museum which created a lot of laughs and memories.

Saturday evening they gathered for cheese and crackers and time to reminisce. After dinner Lynn Frizelle was Master of Ceremonies. Betty Ann Palmeter ran down minutes from 1955-1956 highlighting special things. Laura Tierson presented some trivia of Marion in the 1950's.

Suzanne Stressing read class history from k-12. Mr. Hutchinson did a tribute to Barry Fleegel. The Class was surprised when Bruce Curtis sent a gift for all class members from Hawaii which he lives.

John Walker & his wife Mary hosted a brunch Saturday, for class members and spouses.
