Letter: Any plans for a class of 1998 reunion?

To the editor, CM:

Could in some way you ask if there are any plans being made for the 10 year reunion of the Adair County High School Class of 1998? We never had a 5 year reunion and I think it would be a good idea to have a 10 year.

Thanks!

s/Krishana Melson

Thanks. Maybe your letter will help get the class together. -CM
