Hello Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979
Sunday February 1, 2026
We hope all Alexander Ramsey alumni had a wonderful January and that the new year is off to a fantastic start! As we step into February, we send our very best wishes to each of you for great health, good fortune, and amazing, fun opportunities throughout the weeks ahead. May this month bring fresh energy, new memories, and plenty of reasons to smile.
February may be the shortest month of the year, but it’s full of warmth, connection, and Ram pride. It’s a perfect time to check in, stay involved, and continue strengthening the bonds that make the Class of ’79 so special. No matter where life has taken you since our Ramsey days, you’ll always have a place here with your fellow Rams.
We’re happy to share that updates have recently been made to our class website. New information, announcements, and features have been added, and we encourage everyone to take a few minutes to stop by and see what’s new. The website continues to grow because of your interest, involvement, and enthusiasm.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of you who regularly visit the site, share updates, and contribute your ideas. Your participation truly makes a difference. I’m always looking for fun, creative ideas from our alumni—whether it’s a story, photos, event suggestions, or new ways to connect. This website belongs to all of us, and your input is what keeps it vibrant and meaningful.
The reunion committee and I are incredibly grateful for the time and effort so many of you put into helping us stay connected. Your involvement helps bond our class together in lasting and memorable ways. At the same time, we would love to see even more participation—because the more voices, ideas, and energy we have, the more successful and enjoyable our class community becomes.
Thank you again, Class of ’79, for your continued support and Ram spirit. Wishing each of you a fantastic February and a healthy, happy, and opportunity-filled year ahead!

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!
Although we’ve compiled a strong and growing list of former Alexander Ramsey Reunion Committee members, we know there may still be individuals we’ve unintentionally missed over the years. Our goal is to properly recognize and acknowledge everyone who generously gave their time and energy to help organize reunions and keep the Class of ’79 connected. Their dedication played an important role in bringing us together and preserving the special bond we share.
If you previously served on a reunion committee—or if you have knowledge of classmates who did—we kindly ask that you reach out and share that information with us. We want to ensure that every person who contributed is recognized for their efforts and the many important ways they helped strengthen our class community.
We would also greatly appreciate any photos you may have from past reunions, especially from our 5th through 25th gatherings. These memories are an important part of our history, and we would love to feature them on the website for everyone to enjoy. Thank you in advance for your help. Your participation and contributions truly make this a better, more complete, and more enjoyable website for the entire Ramsey Class of ’79.
