Bill Atkinson and wife Lynne of Liberal, Roger Peterson, Rolland Peterson, and Richard Forsberg of Burdick represented the boys of the class of 1950 at the DVHS alumni reunion Aug. 31. One-half of the boys and girls were twins. The girls were unable to attend because of weather. One lives in California and came to Kansas earlier in the summer. The classes of 1943 to 1950 were invited to the home of Lee and Elinor Remy. The twins had to get the Burdick grounds ready for Labor Day so did not make it to the Remys. Bill, Lynn, and Richard joined the other classes.
