The 1961 graduating class of Simon Kenton High School recently gathered for an evening of fellowship and reminiscing.

Of those able to attend, one was visiting home from San Diego, California.

Leon Purtee gave thanks before the meal at the No. One China Buffet.

The class looks forward to the 60th reunion in 2021.
