Celebrating 55 Years!

Harry A. Burke Class of 1969 celebrated our 55th reunion on September 27 & 28, 2024.
Over the weekend, more than one hundred classmates and friends came together to make new memories!
The main events included a casual get-together at Lucky Bucket Brewery on Friday night with local craft beer and spirits, lots of conversations, smiles, and hugs … and special portraits by a caricature artist. Saturday eve was held at cozy private venue, The Aspen Room, and featured a catered dinner, music from our youth, and comments from classmates including a warm welcome from class Vice President, Greg Johnson, and an original poem, written and recited by Kent Titze (download your copy below.)
We also arranged a school/stadium tour at BHS and a golf outing at Field Club of Omaha.
