It is with a great deal of sadness that we share the news of the passing of one of our classmates. This morning Jim Christoferson passed away due to the effects of an untreatable lung disease.

Even though Jim lived in Texas, he was actively involved in many of our reunions, whether it was creating a video of class memories, or compiling music playlists, or creating the Chugging Along logo for our 50th, or just providing his very dry sense of humor.
He loved our school, and he was devoted to our reunions. Interestingly, although Jim was extremely shy, he was a beloved disc jockey for many years. Without knowing it, we were probably listening to him, even in high school.

Over the last 14 years Jim and I have maintained and supported this website. It was a project that we both felt strongly about ... a way for all of us to connect and share memories, pictures, and reunion information. After the last reunion he was determined to create music from the 60's that would play in the background whenever someone visited the website. Unfortunately, he started feeling the effects of his disease and lost so much of his energy.
Jim was a devoted family man, He loved his wife, Pam, so very much, but lost her to cancer in 2014. His 5 children will find solace in knowing that they are together once again.
We don't usually devote this space to a eulogy, but this website wouldn't have happened without him, He will be very sadly missed.
