I was heartbroken this morning to learn of Pat Brown's passing. She was a good friend at Douglas MacArthur. My condolences to everyone and anyone who knew her. She was special.

Cathy, welcome to the DMHS class of 1968 website. As a guest, please feel welcome to explore. Contact me with any questions. We all wish you luck building your website for the class of 1969, contacting your classmates and hosting a great reunion in September 6-8, 2019.
I ask that any '68 graduate who has contact information for any classmate from 1969, please send Cathy an email through this website with your information.

Again Cathy, good luck!

Mike
