Viewmont High SchoolClass Of 1980 Welcome Fellow Vikings!
John Hansen’s passing was a truly sad event for us as friends and classmates.
As we have contemplated his passing, we as a reunion committee have reflected on other classmates who have passed away over the years. Many of us were unaware of their passing, and would have appreciated knowing so that we could have offered our condolences to their family and friends.
This class website can and should serve purposes other than to advertise about reunions.
As such, we have decided to put in place a way for us to share this information with our fellow classmates through our class website.
In the future, if you are aware of a classmate’s passing, please send an email using the "Contact Us" link to the left so that we can make our fellow classmates aware.
