Mike Riemer is a former Mt. Lebanon Democratic Committee who is currently serving on the Mt. Lebanon School Board. He is also the current Director of Emergency Disaster Services for the Salvation Army in Western Pennsylvania, and prior to that he was a Mt. Lebanon police officer. For more than 30 years, Mike has been fighting to keep our neighborhoods safe, and to help people in need throughout the South Hills and across Western PA.  Now, Mike is fighting for his life.

Mike was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic illness that goes back at least four generations in his family. Doctors say a kidney transplant is necessary. If a donor isn’t found soon, Mike will begin regular dialysis treatments. This has been a difficult time for Mike, his wife Katie, and their two college-aged children. They’re all very worried about Mike’s health, and want nothing more than to see him well again.

We hope you are enjoying the website.  There are many, many names on the "Missing Classmates" list.  This means we don't have an e-mail address for them.  Please look through the list and if you see the name of someone you have an e-mail for, just click on the name and there will be a box where you can fill in their address and a message will go to them automatically.  Sending them a personal follow-up e-mail couldn't hurt, either.

We are rowdy, we are great, we're the class of '78!
