BHS swimmers since 1960s invited to alumni reunion on May 6

All boys and girls swim team alumni – swimmers, divers, families and friends – of Belleville High School swimming throughout the decades, 1960s to 1990s, are invited to a reunion on Wednesday, May 6.
The event is mainly to honor the swim coaches Sam Vicchy, Bill Snider, and Frank Musser, who have accepted invitations to reunite with their former students.
The reunion will be held at the BHS Commons (cafeteria) from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., with refreshments and snacks. A coaches’ recognition and award ceremony will be held with a tour of the new natatorium facility led by the 2015 coaches and swimmers from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
An after-event celebration will be held at a local restaurant, yet to be determined.
Tax-deductible donations of $20 per BHS alumni swimmer or diver are suggested. The majority of the fund-raiser will benefit the BHS Swim and Dive program for ongoing supplies and equipment. All the BHS alumni involved with organizing and planning this event are volunteers.
Cash/check contributions should go to BHS Swim & Dive, c/o Charles Smelt, 50528 Eagles Nest, Northville, MI 48168.
Smelt asks for everyone to share the information on the event with other BHS swimming and diving alumni and RSVP no later than April 30 to:
