Here’s our first update to the Class Challenge. Cash contributions have passed $40,000. The class of 1965 far outpaces the pack with a combined total of $11,000. Second place goes to the class of 1959, with $5,000, a comfortable (for now) lead of $1,700 over the class of 1962.
The Raise the Roof committee has also been able to secure large in-kind donations. ‘Project Manager Bob Jenkins is donating all of his time. The concrete work for Phase 1 is being donated by Knife River where Chris Peach, a Marshfield graduate is the local general manager. The stairs were painted by Butch Shields, who graduated with Jenkins and owns Gold Coast Truck Repair.’ See The World Article for more contributors.
Donating is as easy as clicking on the donate button at the top of the right column. You can pay via PayPal or simply use your credit card. You can also donate by check. Please visit our How to Donate page for more information, including the various levels of recognition.
If you class is not listed, we have not received a donation.

The photos below by Bob Jenkins were taken July 31. The photos are of the Quarter Deck Wall area. The side walls on the upper section will be next to be poured, followed by the installation of the two stairways to allow people to sit up top. Then the railing will get installed for the upper section as well. Hopefully, everything will be in place for the season opener. Looking Good!
