During the July 15th, 2007 50th reunion breakfast, the Emerson "kids" from 56 and 57 held their own get-together.   It was during this event that Jack Berryman suggested that since we do nothing but talk about our Emerson teachers, we should do something to honor them.   All present agreed and Wilma (Blewett) Puich was put in charge of "doing something".

Wilma decided on a plaque, see attached, which would hang in the school for all to see.   The plaque was presented to the school on Wednesday, September 26th, 2007.   Attending the event were:

• LaVerne (Larson) Daicich,
• Wilma (Blewett) Puich,
• Jack Berryman,
• former teacher of the crew, Marjorie (Roberts) Cannon,
• Bob Berryman,

The event was covered by the Montana Standard and received a front page color story.   The article appeared in the paper on thursday, September 27th, 2007.

Pictures below include the plaque being presented, the plaque itself, the wording on the plaque which also includes the 8th grade graduation pictures of both the 56 and 57 classes, and the picture that appeared in the paper.
