This essay was originally written in 2000 as an introductory chapter for the Rolfe High School Alumni Perspectives that Helen edited and published.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 2000 all-class reunion and Greater Rolfe Days events held the same July weekend. More than 500 people pre-registered, but no one on the committee seems to know how many people actually showed up. However, plenty of people were in town for the event, and my sense is that most people had a good time....
The oldest alum at the reunion was Ruth May (Dickey) Wood (class of 1926), who was married to Bloy Wood who died in 1992. Ruth was escorted by daughter Barb Wood Visner (class of 1960), Barb's husband, Norman, and their daughter, Linda. In the afternoon, Ruth (age 94) and Linda (age 35) went to the gathering at the golf course while Barb and Norman were at the Lutheran Church. Then in the evening, they all went to the program at the gym. Barb said her mom liked talking to the people she knew and really enjoyed the nostalgic songs the chorus sang. Ruth lives in Humboldt, Barb and Norman in Hudson, Wisconsin, and Linda in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The names on this page were extracted from a Pocahontas County atlas dating to 1966. It is their best attempt to count all farm residents in rural areas of Pocahontas County, Iowa who were living there at that time.
