Duluth Central High School Class of 1961
Classmates

Searching - You can search for a classmate in a variety of ways using the search box and clicking the “Search!” button.  Upon viewing the results of your selection, click on “Search profile” next to the classmate's name to get a specific class member’s personal web page.

1. Name - Type in the first OR last name (not both) or even parts of a name if you don’t know how to spell it.  For example, if you type in “don”, you will get Donald, Gordon and even O’Donnell.

2. Deceased Only - Click this "In Memory" button for a complete listing of deceased class members.  Then just click the desired name for their obituary (not all have been found).

3. Classmate Stories - Type in a plus sign (  +  ), no parenthesis, and you will get only those classmates that have written stories about their past 50 years.

Please Send Your Pictures - If your picture was not in the yearbook (then picture) or if you haven’t sent us your current picture (now picture).  Please send it to Ken Sorensen via E-mail or snail mail.  Pictures should be head and shoulder shots so you can be easily identified.

Where are they now? - Check out the "Where are they now?" button below.  This ties us to google maps and tells you where each of us is located.  It will not give exact locations, just approximate. 

A. If you click on a name at the right of the map, it will show the approximate location of that individual.  Actual addresses and phone numbers are protected by the site.

B. If you click on a pin point it will tell you the name of the person living by that point.  In busy areas like Duluth or Minneapolis, you may want to zoom in to further separate the pin points.
