Alleman’s 50th class reunion was held at the Holiday Inn in Rock Island on Saturday, September 14, 2013.

Since it wasn’t my class, you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t put names under some of the pictures I took that night.
If you are a class member, sign up to receive notifications for WeeklyWilson.com, which can be done on the front page. I write about a lot of things of both local, state and national interest.
