Just a note to let you know we changed the registration date for the 50th Class Reunion on this website to August 17 (this Friday).  If you tried to register today and could not, the reason is because of the 15th date.  The site would not allow registrations after the 15th.  So, if you haven't registered, please do so.  We would love to see you there!!

Tom and I plan to bring bicycles and ride on Saturday.  Where is a good place to ride?

Below is a picture of the Newark area bike trails.  You can Google the information about the area.  There are several PDF files you can download.  We have quite an intricate set of trails in the area.

Several people have asked for directions to the FOP (Fraternal Order of Police) for the Friday night Mixer.  The address is 255 S. 6th St. in Newark.  You can take 6th Streeet to the end (by Brewsky's) and turn right into the FOP driveway.  You can also come down National Drive (Route 13) to Calburn St. (before the bend that goes over the river), go straight ahead on Calburn (past Brewsky's) and into the FOP driveway.  Follow the drive around until it ends at the building.  Below is a map of the area:

Margaret, thank you for sharing how to post pics on this forum, now I’ll be able to once I locate them. 

Gale, I’m sorry I haven’t posted those classroom pics from Mound School, but I have not been able to locate them yet. After our Dad passed on, my brother and I went through the familly pics to see who wanted which ones, and I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to put them in albums.  When I do locate them, I’ll post them; I think you and I may have been in first and second grades together — Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Garrison (?, I think that was her correct name — down in the basement across from the restroom).

I wasn’t certain if I could make it to our 50th Reunion — my husband has recently had two surgeries in as many months and my in-laws are both declining (health) and we’ve been busy with doctor appts., running errands, and obtaining services for them every day; my father-in-law is having surgery tomorrow; with that in mind, I thought it might be best to not plan on attending.

I was looking forward to seeing everyone, but hopefully we can make it to the next one — I know you all will have a great time and enjoy seeing those you haven’t seen for a while

As reunion weekend approaches, I'm disappointed I'm not going to make it back.  I have so enjoyed reading updates and seeing who is going to be there. I look forward to hearing all about the weekend.  My senior picture is not on my computer, and I don't have access to the yearbook at this time.  Hopefully this site will stay up and running after the reunion. Best wishes to the Class of '68! 

Janet Yost (Maney)

Binnie.   Do you remember when we made fudge at Johnny Clem, I think as a math activity.  We could not get away with that in this day and age.  But our family stillmakes that recipe every Christmas and I still have the original recipe card written in 5th grade - if memory serves me. I wish I could have told you this inperson. So sorry you will not be there.   Janet Yost maney

The committee is looking forward to seeing everyone.  They have a wonderful week-end planned for the Celebration of our "50th" Reunion.

Hi Everyone-

It is with regrets I have to announce I can't attend the Reunion.  I will miss seeing all of you.  I am in the middle of putting another radio station on the air and just started to Pastor at two small United Methodist Churches in the Southern part of our county.  Looking forward to catching up at a later time.  Have fun and great health to all of you .

Kathy Applegate (Danner)

Thanks for answering Bill and offering to help!  Whenever you are able to be there on Thursday or Friday works for me.  We start decorating at 2:00 on Thursday at the FOP and 10:00 on Friday at St. Leonard's.  I believe we have enough people to help that it won't take more than a couple of hours both days.

Kathy Applegate (Danner)

We will miss all of you who aren't able to make it but understand the crazy schedules we all have!  I thought once I had raised my kids I'd be bored with nothing to do but I am busier than ever!  

David Roach

Larry:

I'm sure you are busier than anything right now, but I'm wondering if you could mention here the tentative time the vets were talking about getting together at the Am. Legion Wednesday, 8/22. I was thinking about dropping in. Its too bad there are  a few who wanted to but can't make it. Also, Peggy, everyone really active in it, and you have done a great job getting this whole thing together.  BTW, have you ever heard anything about Don Shrock? He's still probably taking apart the Valley Drive-In sound speaker! LOL

My bad: that veterans get together was talked about for Thursday 8/23, not Wednesday. Does anyone know what time was mentioned for it to start?

Hello!   We are bringing a case of wine on Saturday night. Stop by our table to toast our good fortune at being able to be here and celebrate our 50th reunion.  That is unless we have gotten to your table first!!!  Safe travels to all. See ya!

Paul Miller

Hello to all of the class veterans who are interested in gathering at the Legion post on 6th street on Thursdsay evening after dinner.  The post has a scheduled meeting that evening, but we are welcome to use their bar and shelter house.  I expect to arrive about 6:30 pm and will stay as long as classmates remain.

This is intended to be an informal get together for the sake of camaradie and there is no agenda.  Thanks to all who headed our country's call and 'Welcome home'.

The Mixer is Friday, so there is no conflict with the veterans meeting at the Legion on Thursday.

Charlotte Danver (Lisle)

I am so glad I signed up on this website it is so nice to see everyone’s profile and comments I am so sad that I will not be at the reunion because of our vacation plans Have fun

Larry Wilson

We will miss you, Charlotte.  Have a great vacation!

I received a submission of grades 1-9 from different schools from Janet Speelman (Littleton).  I also have these in a higher resolution if we need to print them off.  Thank you, Janet!
