The Hollidaysburg High School Class of 1959 held its 65th anniversary reunion on June 28 and 29. They attended the Altoona Curve baseball game on Friday evening and had a catered dinner on Saturday at the Newry Lions Club. Following dinner, a picture was taken of the classmate attendees and then a bus picked up the members and guests of the classmates and took them for a ride around Hollidaysburg/Lakemont to see where the class benches were placed (Patriot Park, Lakemont Park, Hollidaysburg Senior High) and ending with a visit to the Meadows, where teaberry, the flavor of the day, was dedicated to Reed Walker (recently deceased), a classmate who was responsible for bringing the monthly Zoom meetings to members of the class. Classmates pictured include (from left): first row -- Ron Dell, Gary Patterson, David Saylor, John Helsel, Gary Baumgartner and William Beck; second row -- Carole Grove Johnson, Robert Brandt, Joyce Byrnes Veckov, Carol Wallace Long, Eugenia Fagans Corle, Barbara Dodson, Leslie, Donna Smith DeBolt, Louanna Henry Flaig, Nancy Clapper McGee, Janet Weaver Mock, Paula Jackson Ellstrom and Peggy Gearhart Beck; third row -- Mary Lou Gray Matthews, Richard Hoover, Peter Dutrow, Laurel Hite Snyder, Roger Cann, Anna Kay Burket Weyant, Ronald Stacey, Sally Isenberg Walter, Steve Mentzer, John O'Brien and Jean Ecker Cassidy.
