50-year reunion includes historical bus tour
On Saturday, July 23, the Bay Village Historical Society hosted the Bay High School Class of 1961, during their 50th class reunion with a tour of Bay Village and a visit to Rose Hill Museum and the Osborn Learning Center.
The society was contacted by a member of the planning committee suggesting we offer a tour of historic Bay Village as an afternoon activity for the class reunion. The society agreed to present last year's bicentennial bus tour and open the museums at the same time. Society President Carole Roske, Trustee Arlene Karnatz, and myself were in charge of the day.
Fifty-five classmates enjoyed two bus tours plus tours of the Rose Hill Museum and the Osborn Learning Center. The friends reminisced about the old days. Back in their day, while attending Bay Schools, Rose Hill Museum was the Dover On The Lake Library.
“This was a great idea,” a classmate remarked. Everyone agreed the event was a huge success.
