The PHS Class of 1996 celebrated their 30th class reunion on Saturday, July 11th.  9 of the classmates took a tour of the high school at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday as a number of classmates have not been in the high school since their graduation day in May of 1996.  The class made their way to the Keuterville Pub and Grub.  17 of the 31 classmates were able to reunite.  They would have had 18, but the late Nate Gentry planned to attend, but unfortunately lost his courageous battle to cancer at the end of May.  The classmates had a great time catching up with one another as some of them had not seen each other since the 20th reunion 10 years ago! Shown are the members of the PHS class of 1996 that made it to the 30-year reunion. Standing/Sitting back row from left are: Mark Anderson, Krystal (Rehder) Ellis, Toby Schwartz, Erika (Forsmann) Shears, Kris Shears, Adam Forsmann, Amanda (Eckert) Gruben, Rachel (Uptmor) Long, Travis Frei, Heather (Lerandeau) Way, Anissa Holthaus and Catrina (Umbinetti) Rioux. Seated from left are: Dean Shears, The Late Nate Gentry, Jason Stubbers, Audrey (Rehder) Krahn, Jon Rehder, Trina (Wimer) Geis Photo submitted by Jon Rehder.  Click on the photo for a larger view.
