Class of 1988

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Members of the Bradford High School Class of 1988. The Class of 1988 are the basis of the Bradford Exiles series.

The "Common Prologue to the Bradford Exiles series" introduces the series, as a speculation of future fate of the young people in the class. The Exiles are members of the class of '88 that needed to leave their hometown, whether willingly or not. While not all of the stories in the Bradford Exiles are about class members who have "taken the on-ramp", the majority of them are.
