The Watkins Mill High School (WMHS) Class of 1991—the first graduating class—held their 30th reunion on October 2 at Lone Oak Brewery in Olney. This was the fourth reunion for the Class of 1991 (previous reunions included the 10th, 20 th and 25th reunions). Members of the planning committee (Shaka Berry, Melinda Buck, Brian Mahone, Tracey Pickerel, Lisa Ferrante Perrone, Mark Rivers, Aklilu Seium, and Jennifer Stolbach) met weekly on Zoom for 5 weeks to prepare for the reunion. Lone Oak Brewery opened 15 months ago and is owned by two Gaithersburg High School graduates.
About 40 classmates attended the festivities, which included a Friday night happy hour at Gentleman Jim’s in Gaithersburg and the Saturday event at Lone Oak Brewery. Many of the attendees have been friends since kindergarten. Classmates spent time at the reunion reliving old memories, looking though old yearbook photos and updating each other on their lives and families today. “To quote John Leonard,” said Jennifer Stolbach, “just like that tremendous tree behind us in the photo, it takes a long time to grow an old friend. We are all so grateful that our roots will always be tangled together.”
Three candidates will be elected as members of the nine-person Montgomery Village Foundation Board of Directors in March 2022.
