Falcons Who Have Soared
Since we walked across the graduation stage at the Cumberland County Memorial Arena in June of 1977, we have lost 53 of our fellow brethren. This page will forever memorialize our Fallen Fellow Falcons. Please visit often to pay tribute. The 4 presentations were presented at the 45 year reunion (We Honor You Tonight, 45 Years Later), 40 year reunion (We Honor You Tonight), 35 Year Reunion (Gone But Not Forgotten) , and 30 Year Reunion (Let Us Pause A Moment To Remember). Following the presentations is a Gallery of Our Fallen Brethren. Please contact Charlie McLaughlin at cmclaughlin@vfhy.org if you know of any fellow falcons who have soared who are not listed.
