A “mini” Shelton High School alumni gathering was held on Monday, May 16, 2022, at noon at Valentino’s in Kearney. There were 19 former graduates and their spouses and guests present. The 70 year class, due to COVID, had not been able to celebrate this special year for a few years now. The classes of 1950, 1951, and 1952 were honored. Other classes with members present were 1955, 1977, and 1978. After enjoying lunch, those in attendance drove across town to Brookstone Apartments where they joined Doran and Pat Post for more memory sharing and also to celebrate the reunion of the 1952 SHS Homecoming King and Queen, Doran Post and Ioma Gumprecht Reese. They had not seen each other in the 70 years in between.
