2019 Reunion

Twenty-two Monarchs from the Class of 1968 were in attendance. Many great stories and laughs.

Great class remarks by Bill Windauer; heartfelt reelections on what Mendel meant and continues to mean to all of us. He talk about the history of our times and how world and domestic events impacted us.

Enjoy the pictures below:
Will edit the group with one that is not at an off angle.

This first photo is the mc Bernie Tafoya.
