The Monticello High School class of 1958 had a 60th Reunion in Monticello on July 21. They met at Sue Gerstner’s house on Main and 200 South to watch the parade. Sue graciously provided a buffet luncheon which the group worked on as they listened to old time rock and roll music and reminisced about where they had been and what they had done since graduation. In the evening they had dinner at the Walkabout (formerly the Lamplight and before that the bowling alley). Here they are gathered for dinner.
