Let The Games Begin…
We’ll have some fun and games at the reunion. In the meantime, we’re having a pre-reunion contest.
Every month, 1962 classmates will be sent a trivia question by e-mail. During presentation night at the reunion, we will announce the winner with the most correct answers.
(BTW – only the author of this website knows the question/answer in advance.)
What’s The Prize?
Contest started March 9, 2010. Answers must be received within 72 hours after the date of the e-mail. Replies after the third day will be disqualified. So hurry and get your answers in on time.
The questions should arrive in your e-mail box during the first week of each month.
