Two teachers have passed away, art teacher Mr. Wetherbee and English teacher Mr. Manis.
Mr. Wetherbee was a top turret gunner on a B25 during World War II;  he was 88.
Mr. Manis attended our 40th Reunion because he wanted to visit with us, a class  he thought was flush with students with great potential!  He amazed us all with his recollections of his time with us at WRHS.  Rest assured that when he left us that October day he left knowing he had been right about us and he left having felt the respect and appreciation of his former students.

Steve Anthony: "Mr. Manis was certainly a pivotal person during my time at Wheat Ridge.  He helped me to focus on writing well, no matter the subject or reason. I was a bit scared of him at first. Then I realized that what I saw as a strict and somewhat gruff personage was in fact a man who loved the English language and literature and wanted to plant, instill, pass on that passion to his students.
 
I'll never forget his nicotine stained fingers and how he always smelled of Camel cigs...his white short sleeved shirts with ties that never seemed to know why they were attached to him. They always seemed like an afterthought. 
 
In my young imagination, I saw him as a refugee from the editorial staff of some large, mid-western city newspaper. He had the brusque, no-nonsense air about him....powerful and ready to tackle any assignment.
 
Wow....another loss."

If you would like to correspond with Mr. Manis' daughter,  send me an email and her address will be sent to you.  ljlarson17@msn.com

Way to go,
Class of 2008!

Nearly 43 years after graduation, the more than 500 members of the class of 1965 can rest assured that tradition and Farmer loyalty remain intact at our ol' alma mater, WRHS!

The Search Continues for the "Missing"!

In 2005, while preparing for our 40th Class Reunion, we made a commitment to locate and communicate with each of our classmates, if only for the reason we all share the life-long tag of being a 1965 Wheat Ridge High School Farmer which bonds us together forever.  It's been a dedicated task of Bob Brown to find you, with the help of friends, and he has made some amazing discoveries.  (Thanks, Bob!)

But Bob can't sleep at night knowing our mission is not complete.

If your name is on this list, contact us through the Alumni Contact Form on the Forms page on this web site.  Not everyone wants to participate with our class and we will honor that.  At the same time, we would like to know that our search for you has been successful and we can focus in on others.  Your information will not be posted on this web site.

If you know someone on this list, please ask them to complete the Alumni Contact Form through the Forms page on this web site.  Any other information that you can share, let us know by contacting Bob Brown: boomerbrown65@msn.com

Help us search for the following "missing" classmates so we can
welcome them back to class and Bob can have a restful night!

What a Blast We Had at Our 60th Birthday Bash
a Rock & Roll Reunion!

(Held September 7-9, 2007)

The time has come to raise a glass
And wish a "Happy Birthday" to all in the class
To those that are here and those who are not
To those that have passed, let none be forgot.

Our time in high school was only a sliver
But for memories made, it was a real giver
It created a bond, an invisible tether
And makes one proud to be a Farmer forever.

Toast made by Class Valedictorians, John Chapman and Alan Kraning and written by Ace Classmate-Finder, Bob Brown.


Thanks to the Farmer Party Planners!
Jim Beimers, Bob Brown, Mary Ann Havens, Terry Johnson,
John Larson, Linda Michels, Fred Overholt,
