20-YEAR REUNION

The Chatard Class of 1986 is planning a 20-YEAR REUNION!
BCHS Trojans from everywhere will converge in Indianapolis for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. If you can remember parties at Dawson Lake, Chicago’s Pizza Friday Nights, or Mike Webb’s Playpen Bus, then make plans now to be a part of the festivities. Dates and location are yet to be determined, but there will be lots of food, music AND a chance for you to share good memories with long lost friends. The Chatard Class of ’86 Reunion Committee is working out details for an awesome party and they want to hear from you. If you want to post a message to a friend, update classmates on your whereabouts or help locate an MIA classmate, then please do so here. Be sure to share this blog with anyone you know from the Bishop Chatard High School (Indianapolis) Class of 1986. We look forward to seeing you in the fall of 2006!
