Hello Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979
Saturday April 4, 2026
We hope all of our Ramsey Alumni had a wonderful March, and we send our very best wishes to each of you for great health, good fortune, and many amazing and fun opportunities throughout the month of April. As we welcome the beauty of spring, with longer days and fresh beginnings all around us, we also want to take a moment to wish everyone a very Happy Easter filled with joy, renewal, and time well spent with family and friends.
With the new season comes exciting updates! We’re happy to share that new information and enhancements have been added to our class website. Be sure to take some time to explore what’s new, stay informed, and reconnect with the many great memories and updates that keep our Ramsey Class of ’79 community strong.
We also want to extend a sincere thank you to all of our alumni who regularly visit the website and continue to support it. Your time, interest, and contributions truly make a difference. Whether you’re checking in for updates, sharing news, or simply staying connected, you are helping keep our class spirit alive and thriving.
As always, we’re looking for fun and creative ideas from all of you! This is your class website, and your input is incredibly valuable. The more you participate—by sharing stories, photos, events, or suggestions—the more engaging and enjoyable the experience becomes for everyone.
It’s your continued involvement that helps strengthen the bond we all share as members of the Ramsey Class of ’79. Together, we’ve built something special, and with even more participation, we can make it even more meaningful, fun, and successful for years to come.
Thank you again for being such an important part of our class community. Wishing each and every one of you a fantastic April and a happy, healthy, and exciting year ahead!

Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979
Attention Rams......
Let’s Make Some Noise!
Help Make the Ramsey Class of ’79 Website Even Better!
Hello Ramsey Class of 1979,
It’s that time again — and the Ramsey Class of ’79 website has been buzzing with new updates and fresh additions!
Be sure to stop by and check out what’s new, especially the Missing Classmates, Birthdays, Events, and Memorialpages for the latest news and important updates from our Ramsey family.
Now here’s the exciting part…
This website isn’t just a collection of pages — it’s our digital reunion hall, a place where memories come alive, friendships stay strong, and the spirit of Ramsey continues to shine nearly five decades later. And the secret ingredient that keeps it fun, vibrant, and meaningful is YOU!
We invite every Ram to jump in and contribute:
Share photos (then or now!)
Post life updates, retirements, anniversaries, or celebrations
Tell a funny story from our school days
Promote upcoming gatherings or events
Or simply reconnect by sharing a memory
While I truly enjoy keeping the website running and updated, it’s important to remember — this isn’t one person’s project… it belongs to all of us. The energy, personality, and heart of our class come from the stories and experiences we share together. Every submission helps keep our site fresh, lively, and uniquely Ramsey.
So dig into those photo albums, wake up those great memories, and send them our way! The more we participate, the stronger our connection becomes — and the more fun we all have reliving the journey.
I also want to sincerely thank you for continuing to visit the website and stay active on our class Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Your involvement keeps our Class of ’79 community connected, engaged, and thriving.
Stay tuned — more updates are always on the way!
Let’s keep the Ramsey spirit roaring strong and the Class of ’79 shining bright!
So, from Sheila Johnson Youngquist, Mary Falkowski Conway, Bob Kaye, Don Sazma, Chuck Bufton, Lori-Anne William, Dianne Wilson Carlson, Catherine Rod-Miske, (our behind-the-scenes MVP Nancy Olsen Reed) and myself —
Stay connected, stay involved, and have a fantastic 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!
We’re proud to have already compiled a strong list of former Alexander Ramsey Class of ’79 Reunion Committee members, but we know there are still more individuals who played an important role over the years. We’re asking for your help in identifying all past committee members so we can properly recognize and celebrate their efforts in keeping our class connected, as well as the many other meaningful contributions they made along the way.
If you were part of a past reunion committee—or if you have knowledge of classmates who served—we would greatly appreciate you reaching out and sharing that information with us. In addition, we kindly ask our Ramsey Class of ’79 alumni to look through your photo collections and send along any pictures from past reunions, especially from the 5th through the 25th. These memories are a valuable part of our shared history, and we would love to feature them on the website for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you all for your continued support and willingness to contribute. Your participation truly helps make our website more complete, more engaging, and more enjoyable for our entire class.
