Hello Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979
Saturday December 6, 2025
🎄✨ Welcome Home, Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979! ✨🎄
Snowflakes are dancing, jingle bells are jingling, and the sweet smell of evergreen is officially in the air—December has arrived, We hope your November was nothing short of spectacular: full of turkey, touchdowns, and those priceless moments with family and friends that make life so sweet. Now, grab a mug of hot cocoa (extra marshmallows encouraged), because the merriest month of the year is here, and we’re ready to deck the halls together!
A gigantic, twinkling THANK YOU to every single one of you who visits, comments, sends in stories, and keeps our class spirit brighter than the Ramsey stadium lights on a Friday night. Your contributions—photos, memories, “whatever happened to…” questions—are the ornaments that make this site shine. And guess what? I’m still on the lookout for your fun ideas! SO if you have any ideas hit the "Drop Us A LIne" box at the bottom of the page or send me an email —let’s make this site even more legendary together!
Because here’s the truth: every time you log on, share a memory, or tag an old friend, you’re tightening the Blue-and-white bond that started way back in the halls of Alexander Ramsey. The more Rams who jump in, the louder our laughter echoes, the bigger our smiles grow, and the more fun we all have reliving the best years of our lives. This class has heart, humor, and hustle—and together we can make our online home the most joyful spot on the internet.
So cozy up, click around, and let the nostalgia (and maybe a Christmas carol or two) wash over you. From all of us on the website crew to every incredible member of the Class of 1979: may your December be merry and bright, filled with love, laughter, good health, and maybe even a snowball fight or two.
Here’s to the happiest holiday season yet—see you on the site, Rams! 🎅❤️
Go Rams… and Happy December!

Attention Rams......
Help Make the Ramsey Class of ’79 Website Even Better!
Dear Ramsey Class of 1979,
Well, it's that time again. We've made some updates to our class website—be sure to check them out! Pay special attention to the Missing Classmates, Birthday, and Events and the Memorial pages for the latest information.
I want to personally invite each of you to contribute in any way you can to our class website. Whether it’s sharing photos, personal stories, upcoming anniversaries, sales, event updates, retirements or just fun memories from our school days, your input will help make the site more engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable for all of us. This is more than just a webpage—it’s a living space where we can stay connected, reminisce, and celebrate the friendships that have lasted over the years.
While I truly enjoy maintaining the site, I realize that it’s not just my project—it belongs to all of us. The best way to keep it fresh and exciting is by having a variety of voices, stories, and ideas from our amazing classmates. Your memories and perspectives are what make our class special, and they deserve to be shared!
So please, if you have a funny story, an old class photo, an update on your life, or even ideas for new features, send them in! This site is a reflection of our incredible class, and the more we all take part, the better it becomes. I can’t wait to see what you bring to the table!
We truly appreciate your continued visits to our site, as well as your engagement on our Facebook and LinkedIn class pages. Your participation helps keep our class community connected and thriving!
Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s keep the spirit of ’79 alive! So from Sheila Johnson Youngquist, Mary Falkowski Conway, Bob Kaye, Don Sazma, Chuck Bufton, Lori-Anne William, Dianne Wilson Carlson, Catherine Rod-Miske, (keeping behind the screen Nancy Olsen Reed) and myself, stay in touch, and have a great day, Rams.
If you’d like to contribute, join or contact the reunion committee feel free to text Randy Reed at 651-238-6785 or at email Randsr16@comcast.net
Goals for the website.......
Looking Ahead: Our Goals for the Future
As we continue building momentum and excitement within the Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979 community, the Reunion Committee is proud to share a list of some of our short-term and long-term goals — all designed to keep us connected, informed, and ready for an unforgettable 50th Reunion in 2029!
Short-Term Goals (Next Few Months):
- Continue updating and enhancing the class website with photos, news, and event info
- Collect and post more past reunion photos (especially from the 5th through 25th reunions)
- Reach out and reconnect with classmates still on the “Missing Alumni” list
- Organize at least one fun monthly gathering in 2025
- Recognize and document past reunion committee members and their contributions
Long-Term Goals (Next Few Years):
- Grow class engagement through more frequent updates, activities, and communications
- Continue building our class archive with stories, memorabilia, and photos
- Expand our fundraising efforts to support future reunion events
- Strengthen and grow participation in planning for the 50th Reunion
- Celebrate our shared journey with the biggest and best reunion yet in 2029!
Every bit of support and participation helps us move closer to these goals, and we’re excited about what’s ahead. Thank you for being a part of the journey — the best is still to come!
Looking for all former reunion committee Members!
Hey Rams – we need your sharp memories and those dusty photo albums!
Over the past month, we’ve added a handful of new names to our growing list of past Reunion Committee members – and we’re thrilled to see it taking shape! That said, we know there are still many unsung heroes from years gone by who rolled up their sleeves to plan parties, track down classmates, stuff envelopes, and keep the Class of ’79 spirit alive and kickin’. If you ever served on a committee (big role or small), or if you remember who did, please drop us a quick note with names, years, or any fun details you recall. We want to give every single one of them the proper Ramsey-style thank-you they deserve for all the laughter and memories they helped create.
While you’re digging through those closets and shoeboxes, we’d also love to borrow your reunion photos – especially from the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th get-togethers! Big hair, neon dresses, questionable mustaches… yes, we want it all! Scan them or snap a phone pic and send them our way. Seeing those old smiles on the website brings the biggest grins to everyone who visits.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for pitching in! Every name you help us recover and every photo you share makes our site richer, warmer, and way more fun for the entire Class of ’79 family. You’re the heart of this whole thing – let’s keep making it better together!
