Class of 1971
It’s been almost 6 weeks since our Class of ’71 gathered for our 50th+1 anniversary, and I can guarantee that some of us are still smiling! As stated on the Class of ’71 Facebook page, we hope everyone had as much fun that weekend as the 13 classmates who made up the original committee had planning it. One more time, we would like to recognize those classmates who made the whole weekend possible:
Joyce Bristow Winget, Rita Schumacher Bilikam, Marsha Brobst Adkins, Jane Holford, Linda Ancik Augspurger, Denny Lohr, Sue Butcke Koverman, Debbie Finlaw Wolfe, Jim Augspurger, Jim Francis, Wendy Roush, Barb MacKenzie Campbell, Adele Knipp Klenk
We also want to thank everyone who joined us during the weekend, and, at the same time, let those of you who could not be with us, know that you were missed. Whether you were there or not, we think you’ll enjoy the four videos below. Two are videos taken during our dinner on Friday night and two are presentations prepared by Denny:
Golden Thoughts | “Those Were The Days”
Friday Evening Presentation | Golden Reunion Candids Presentation
Enjoy! Time flies and it won’t be long before another planning committee will begin working on our 55th! Stay tuned!

Legacy Gift
Congratulations Otterbein Class of 1971! We did it! Our Class Legacy Gift to Otterbein of over $101,562 was (one of) the largest ever.
We were able to accomplish our goal of establishing an endowment for the Promise House and building a beautiful pavilion at the Otterbein Community Garden which we dedicated at our reunion. An amazing accomplishment! Thank you all for your contributions to this worthwhile project that will serve Otterbein students, faculty, staff, and the Westerville Community for years to come.
