Attention Rams......
Help Make the Ramsey Class of ’79 Website Even Better!
Dear Ramsey Class of 1979,
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, event updates, 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.
I also want to take a moment to apologize for not reaching out more often to ask for your contributions. 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!
Sincerely,
Randy Reed

Did You Know?.........
Ms. Mary Ruth Farrier
Ms. Farrier (born September 1931) was another of the original teachers at Alexander Ramsey High School. Ms. Farrier taught math and Phy-ed. Outside of her duties at school she loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping and canoeing in the BWCA. She was an avid golfer and belonged to numerous leagues at Greenhaven Country Club in Anoka, MN. She was also a longtime member of the choir of Zion Luthern Church in Anoka.
We’re not sure how she felt about dance class, she seems less than enthused teaching dance here with Mr. Goedeke during the 1971 - 72 school year. Ms Farrier died in April 2020.
If anyone has more information regarding the life of Mary Ruth Farrier we’d love to hear it.

Looking for all former reunion committee Members!
A Special Request from the Ramsey Reunion Committee
As we continue to celebrate the lasting connections of the Alexander Ramsey Class of ’79, we want to take a moment to recognize and honor those who have played a vital role in keeping our class united over the years. We are actively searching for all former and past Reunion Committee members so that we can acknowledge their efforts and the many contributions they made in organizing events, fostering connections, and preserving our class spirit. If you were a past committee member—or if you know of someone who was—please reach out and share any information that can help us in this effort.
In addition, we’re looking to expand our collection of reunion memories, especially from our 5th through 25th reunions. If you have any photos from these past gatherings, we would love to feature them on the website! These pictures help us relive the incredible moments we’ve shared and allow all alumni to enjoy a glimpse of our past celebrations. If you have photos to contribute, please let us know—we’ll make sure they find a special place on our site.
Your participation is what makes our class website not just a resource, but a meaningful place for all alumni to reconnect and reminisce. Thank you for taking the time to help us recognize those who have made a difference and for sharing your memories with the class. Your involvement keeps our class spirit alive, and together, we can continue to make this website even more enjoyable for everyone!
Thanks,
Your Ramsey Reunion Committee
