    The Vinton Class of 1948 held its 62nd reunion in Vinton, Saturday, Sept. 18.

It took the Vinton Class of 1948 25 years to get around to holding its first reunion, said 1948 graduate Richard Bridge. 

After that, the group met every five years. 

But in recent years, they decided to meet annually. 

A total of 17 classmates, many accompanied by their spouses, met at The Pizza Ranch in Vinton on Saturday for the class's 62nd reunion.
