Alexander Ramsey Class of 1979: A Place to Discover Your Potential
A gallant efford by Matt McElroy
Holiday Meet-Up – Saturday, January 11th!
A big thank you to everyone who joined us at January’s meetup at the VFW! 🥳 It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces from not only member of the class of 79, but a few from the classes of 78 and 81 as well. We shared stories, laughter, and memories that remind us of just how special our Ramsey Class of ’79 truly is. Your energy and enthusiasm made it a night to remember, and we’re already looking forward to the great times ahead.
Speaking of what’s ahead, we’ve got plenty of fun events planned in the coming months! We've already had a suggestion for a friendly bowling night sometime in March. So we'd love to know if there may be an interest in that. Please send a note of your interest by using the CONTACT US button at the bottom of the page. Thanks.
Other upcoming event for 2025 could include and laid-back picnics, mini golf or our beloved golf outings and even a car show. There'll be something for everyone to enjoy. And, of course, we’ll keep hosting those classic meetups where we can simply catch up, reminisce, and enjoy each other’s company. No matter what your interests are, we’re working to make sure there’s a little bit of everything on the calendar.
But we know the best ideas often come from you! We’d love to hear your suggestions for activities or events that might bring us together in new and exciting ways. Whether it’s a book club, a trivia night, or something totally out of the box, your input will help us make these gatherings even better.
So mark your calendars and stay tuned for updates—2025 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for the Class of ’79! Let’s keep the momentum going and make every event an opportunity to reconnect, celebrate, and make new memories together. 💙

Our former classmate Cathryn Michon would love to introduce us to her new book
From Cathryn Michon......
Cathryn writes "I am doing a special promotion with Red Balloon Books for my upcoming book, "I'm Still Here: A Dog's Purpose Forever." The special promotion is for signed bookplates that will be signed by me, my husband A Dog's Purpose author W. Bruce Cameron and our dog Tucker (pawprint) who is on the cover!. It's a companion gift book to the original A Dog's Purpose told from the point of view of an Angel Dog who wants you to know he's still here, but also he's over the rainbow bridge, with all the people and animals you've loved. It's already a bestseller".
A special Note......
"Danny Schmitz told me that Red Balloon was founded by Paul Erdahl's (Ramsey class of 78) mom, which is fun. The promotion is all across America and Canada with 46 stores, but I was happy that one of them was in my hometown. :)"
