The Bristol High School Alumni Association met for their annual reunion on September 19 at the Elkhart County Historical Museum in Bristol.  The museum formerly housed the Bristol High School until its consolidation with the Elkhart Community School system.

Attendants were served a catered dinner and entertained with live music while reminiscing over their school years and catching up with old friends.

The graduating class of 1959 was honored.  Marion Wolkins of the class of 1932 was the oldest attendant at age 96 years. Charles Wayne Sherer of Wilie, Texas traveled the furthest (11,000 miles) to attend the reunion.

Next year’s reunion will be held on September 18, 2010.
