A New Year's Welcome to All Regulars, Friends, and Drop-ins

HAFNERS — A Moline institution where the food is excellent and the fellowship even better--especially at lunchtime when members of the MHS class of '65 gather. Come get to know your classmates better as you share memories as well as tips, enjoy a joke or two, and even talk about Moline basketball today or in '65. 

All are welcome--join in on Wednesday, January 8th, at 11:30ish and every first Wednesday of the month in the future. Mark your calendar.

Our Foreign Exchange Student -- Nazek Fahmy Habib

It's been far too long (50+ years) since we've heard much from our class exchange student, Nazek Fahmy, but Mary Parsons Caisley, her Moline host, recently met up with her in Alexandria, Egypt. It looks like a joyous reunion.  And we've been given the okay to post these pictures of them now.  Hopefully we can get a little more information later.
