Toni was involved in a lot of activities at Wilson. She was a member of the Student Council, Honor Society and Varja (Wilson girls honorary service organization). Toni was the class of '65 Treasurer and one of three Daffodil Princesses. She did all that and graduated with honors.
We will all remember Toni as pretty, popular, smart, tall and very nice to everyone.

Dear Wilson Class of '65 Alumni,
We hope you are all well and happy.
We've been keeping our fingers crossed that things would be back to normal soon. We cancelled our September reservation for the Tacoma Yacht Club earlier this year. Although things are starting to open up, the Tacoma Yacht Club is still closed until further notice and not taking reservations at this time.
We really want to get everyone together as soon as possible, so we don't want to wait until our 60th reunion in 2025. Since things are still up in the air right now, we will reassess our options when things are more opened up and normal. We will keep you posted when we have news about our next event.
Until then, everyone stay safe and healthy.
