Some of our best ideas come directly from fellow alumni, and your input is always welcomed and appreciated.

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!

Looking for all former reunion committee Members!
Hey Rams – we need your sharp memories and those dusty photo albums!
We’re continuing to make great progress documenting the history of the Alexander Ramsey Class of ’79 Reunion Committees, and while we already have a solid list of past members, we know there are still a few missing names out there. One of our goals is to properly recognize and acknowledge everyone who has served on these committees over the years—their hard work, dedication, and countless contributions played a huge role in keeping our class connected, organized, and thriving.
With that in mind, we’re kindly asking all Ramsey Alumni—especially former committee members themselves, or anyone who may have knowledge of past participants—to reach out and share any information you may have. Every name helps us complete the picture and ensures that no contribution is forgotten or overlooked. We are also respectfully requesting that anyone who may have photos from past reunions, particularly from the 5th through 25th, consider sharing them so we can preserve and showcase those great memories on the website.
Thank you all for your continued help and support. Your participation truly makes this website stronger, more complete, and far more enjoyable for everyone in the Class of ’79, and we deeply appreciate you being part of keeping our history alive and growing.
