Hello Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979
Sunday March 1, 2026
Happy March and welcome to Spring, Ramsey Alumni!
We hope all of our Alexander Ramsey Class of ’79 alumni had a wonderful February filled with good times and great memories. As we step into March and the promise of Spring, we’re wishing each and every one of you great health, good fortunes, and amazing, fun opportunities ahead in the weeks and months to come. May this season of renewal bring fresh energy, bright days, and plenty of reasons to smile.
With the change in seasons also comes a few fresh updates to our class website! New information has been added, and we encourage everyone to take a few minutes to look around and see what’s new. Our website continues to be the central hub for staying connected, sharing memories, and keeping our Ramsey spirit strong.
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you who regularly visit the site, read the updates, and contribute your time, ideas, and support. Your continued involvement truly makes a difference. This website is not just a source of information — it’s a reflection of the pride, friendships, and connections that make the Class of ’79 so special.
Please remember, I’m always looking for your input for fun ideas, creative suggestions, photos, stories, or anything else you’d like to share. Your participation is absolutely crucial to keeping our site engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable for everyone. The more voices we have contributing, the stronger and more vibrant our class community becomes.
Thank you, Class of ’79, for everything you do to help bond our class together. Your enthusiasm and participation are what keep our connections alive and thriving. As we move forward, even more involvement will help make our website — and our class activities — even more successful and enjoyable for all.
Once again, wishing everyone a great month of March and a fantastic year ahead filled with health, happiness, and Rams pride. Go Rams!

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!
As we continue building and preserving the history of the Alexander Ramsey Class of ’79, we’re reaching out for your help. While we have compiled a nice list of former reunion committee members over the years, we know there may be some names missing. Our goal is to properly acknowledge and recognize all of those who generously gave their time, energy, and talents to help organize past reunions and keep our class connected. Their dedication played a huge role in maintaining the strong bonds we continue to enjoy today.
If you were a member of a past reunion committee — or if you have knowledge of someone who served — we kindly ask that you reach out and share that information with us. We would love to ensure that every individual who contributed receives the recognition they deserve. In addition, we respectfully ask that any classmates who have photos from past reunions — especially from our 5th through 25th reunions — consider sharing them so we can feature them on the website and continue bringing our class history to life.
Thank you in advance for your help and support. Your participation and contributions truly make a difference and help us create a website that is more complete, meaningful, and enjoyable for the entire Class of ’79. Together, we keep our Ramsey spirit strong!
