- 05/19/2025....A few weeks ago, as is the tradition, Sparky asked our illustrious Class President, Tommy Sipkins, to do an update to our "From The Prez" page as a portion of our 60th Reunion. I have since posted Tommy's letter to the class on that page. Sparky wants to share his experience while doing this, it was a nice trip down memory lane. Take some time to read the history posted there and join Sparky in his reminiscent journey back in time. Enjoy!
- 05/19/2025....For everyone's information, our web provider did an "upgrade" to their system and sadly lost all of our personal inputs from 05/04 through today.

Good morning,
I wanted to share that my mom, Sharon Sinn (Wyman), passed away 2/15/24. After beating cancer in 2015, the vascular damage from the chemo caused severe stenosis in her legs which led to femoral artery bypass. Unfortunately she became septic from the surgery. She was an amazing and kind human, and the best mom!
Wishing you all a wonderful reunion!
Warm regards,
Kelly Sinn - 04/28/2025... Sparky has some updates to our "In Memoriam" page. I was recently notified that Jim Cullen, Sharon Wyman and Doug Anderson are to be added to the list of Classmates now gone. As I can gather information concerning each one's obituary, I will update the page.

Hi,
I have no change of email address and no information of the people you’re searching for. Just wanted to say I’m sorry that I won’t be able to travel overseas this year. Hopefully there’ll be a 60 years celebration in five years, and also hopefully I’ll be just as healthy then as today. My host sister Deb came to see me in Norway last September. The last time she came was 50 years ago, so it was about time. It was wonderful to see her again.
I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic celebration. Please say hello from me to everybody.
Enclose a photo. Getting old!
Greetings,
Marit Fredheim

...There seems to be a question of how many classmates where in the class of 1965. As editor of the senior section of the Echowan, I can tell you that we received 820 senior pictures for use in the 1965 yearbook. Unfortueately, no names were on the pictures. With the help of yearbook and paper staff, friends, and anyone else we could find we managed to identify and match all but seven people to the class list. The other seven we just guessed and placed with the seven remaining names (we must have been correct because no one complained!). The class of 1965 with 820 members was the largest graduating class of St. Louis Park High School. I hope this is helpful. Sparky thanks Nancy for her help here ... any way you spell it, there are a lot of us!!??
