Redding alumni held their meeting and potluck on June 29 at 12 noon at the Frontier Hall in Redding with 27 attending. They voted to give $100 to the hall.

Officers will be Eva Saville Knapp, president; Bessie Bailey Parker, treasurer, and Marlene Murphy Keller, secretary.

The meeting next year will be June 28, 2014. Please mark this date as they no longer send letters because it is always the Saturday before the Fourth of July each year.

Those attending -- alumni, spouses and friends -- were as follows: Ed and June Combs, Helen Combs, Lillian Combs Rinehart, Mary Quick Oveholtzer, Jerry and Ann Hall Roach, Dorothy Jeanes Saville, Mary Saville Cavin, Nancy Sandberg, Bob Staats, Jamie Blanshard, Kenneth and Berta Quick, Eva Saville Knapp, Bessie Bailey Parker, Francis Leroy Olney, Mary Buchanan, Carroll Olney, Dean Olney, Alan L. Culbertson, Desire Culbertson, Kieran Thornton, Zerius Thornton and Max and Lyla Culbertson Dawson.

They lost three alumni this year-- Betty Zigler Kriegel, Ruth Colleene Skinner Saville and Kenzel Walker.

Donna Smith Murphy and the late Harold Murphy lost their son, Gary, age 54, and the funeral was the same time as reunion so all the Smiths and Murphys could not attend.
