Colleen's Story
After high school graduation in 1960, I worked for the National Gypsum Company for about a year and then decided I wanted to travel. I joined the Air Force because their basic training was the farthest from Buffalo. I went to Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas and have traveled many places since then.

ended the school's 70 Anniversary Celebration as well as the Class of 1960's 50 year reunion and enjoyed the trips immensely.

I only wish I had been able to spend more time with each of them.
If any 1960 grads of Kenmore West High School are reading this, please get in touch with me so we can plan our next get together.
