Class of 1972 Raises Funds for GFS!
In honor of their 50th Reunion, the Class of 1972 came together to celebrate this milestone in style—and raised significant funds for GFS in the process. In total, members of the class gave $261,621 in their reunion year. Notably, this included the creation of the Class of 1972 Memorial Fund, which is a new endowed fund that will provide ongoing financial support for GFS.
“Our collective contributions will help GFS immeasurably and are a profound testament to the camaraderie, willingness, and can-do spirit of our unbeatable Class of 1972," shared Craig Scott '72, clerk of the reunion committee. Members of the reunion committee included Sally West Williams (co-clerk of the reunion committee), Sandy Baur Bixby, Martha Gruenberg Conklin, Charlie Cary, Neil Simpkins, David Trueblood, Mary Wilson, and Walter Wilson.
