| In addition to this site, your class has a "sandbox" on the classreport.com RHS site at http://www.classreport.com/usa/mn/richfield/rhs/1961/ that still needs an administrator. Karen Farrel Jackson from the Class of '62 has temporarily taken on the task, but someone from your class really should take it on. |
