Bobbi Schaad wrote and published the first (!) article about our 40-year Reunion at the Charlie Elliot Center. Many of your classmates were there, and they missed you!
Recently—and just in time for our 40-year Reunion—we found our long-lost comrade, Fred O. Bishop. You really have to read this to believe it!
For You! You need us and we need you—to be a part, again, of our little (former) high school community. These days, we are the “in”–crowd…especially with winter coming on…rapidly. So, set yourself up with our Web site (here); add some articles about yourself and yesteryear, and let us how to contact you. You won’t regret it!
Years have gone by in our hitherto fruitless search for Our Beloved Classmate, Frederick Oscar Bishop (a.k.a. Fred O. Bishop). Through times of economic prosperity as well as recession, depression, and stagflation; while the world was absorbed in war and near-war, the Columbia High School Class of 1970 never flagged in our effort to locate and restore unto us Our Friend, Fred.

Oh, yes, there were some close calls. Especially in the early years, when we believed it would be easy to track our Lovable Rascal, Fred. After all, he was counted in classroom attendance reports, yes? Yes.
Our Principal, Wesley Hardy, and his Trusty Sidekick, Mr. Sam Black, swore to find Fred and return him to the bosom of his class. Sightings were variously reported of Fred—as a member of those most honorable groups, the Hall Patrol, Car Patrol, and Junior Civitan.
Perhaps the most pernicious of all were the attempts by some to impersonate Fred and attract attention to themselves. These incidents, which included inserting false portraits in Our Beloved Yearbook, The Aquila, instead succeeded only in thwarting us from our gallant effort.
Now, after years of searching, the Truth Is Out. Watch this video and Be Astonished!
