Waconia Rewind
Former yearbook staff writer and journalist Tony Smith chronicles what has happened to Waconia High School class of 2000. In the absence of a 20-year reunion, we can all pick and choose who we want to catch-up with via technology that wasn't imaginable back in the '90s. This casual interview format discusses how the last 20+ years have gone along with going back to relive some cherished memories from high school.
