La Salle High School - Class of 1958 - December 14th, 2005 Dinner
Manufacturer's Country Club

30 classmates came to Manufacturer's Country Club for what has become an annual event.
We had a special guest for this year's dinner. Fred de Groot, who was known to us as Brother William and home room teacher of 1F, came to our dinner. Harry Eustace arranged for Fred to come even though Harry couldn't make it because of a last minute business trip. Thank you Harry.
