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!

Hello all I am in the Columbus area working advance for an event will be hopefully in the afternoon maybe the vets can hook up at the mixer for a few ? Also I hear Nerk plays Ztown. See you soon safe travels ALL

Denise Dishon (Winegardner)

Hello Everyone !  Jay & I are so looking foreward to being there & seeing You All ! Some old high school insecurities popped up but...I think PHIL JENKINS is getting Us there ...we would always get word that He & Margaret were asking about us ( we doubled ) & now he will just have to make a “Celestial Appearance” (hope that happens & He brings others from our class with him) . So Sorry Margaret he was such a Cool Guy , so easygoing, relaxed and FUN! Bet You two were the best parents. I read somewhere advise for going to your 50th reunion is....Pretend your in kindergarten & your class is doing a play & You are all dressed up as Old People ......look in their eyes and you will see them.......then look at the name tag....ha ha......Bon Voyage...Denise Dishon NHS 68, Ohio University, Athens 72

Deborah Gail Smith (Hall)

Denise, such great advice!  I have always been insecure about walking into a room full of people; years ago I took a Dale Carnegie class and that helped.  After that my classes at Ohio State helped, but I still feel it

Have a wonderful reunion, everyone. Sorry I can't make it, but still teaching PT at local college. Classes begin this week. I'll be thinking about you. I hope to make it next time! 

Janet Yost (Maney)

Ron!   I wish you were coming!!!!!  Don’t know what PT is other than part time and that means part time   Get yourself here!

Good morning to all.  My husband Bill and I are now in Newark and we are looking forward to seeing everyone at both the mixer and dinner.  We are staying at the Courtyard Marriott on Church Street at the west end of town.  Thank you for the committee and all their hard work planning this 50th reunion.  You’ve done a terrific job.

Thanks for the nudge, Janet, but I'm in California, so a bit more travel time needed. Love and hugs to all.

Adding a few more details on Saturday's 10 a.m. bike ride. The trail at the YMCA starts behind the Rollaway. There is a nice parking lot there.  Nearest restroom is at the very front building of the YMCA.  By the way they are having a open house there tomorrow from 9 to 1200.  They are excited to tell of the things they have to offer, especially for us seniors

Margaret Freytag (Stewart)

My husband Bill and I will show up for the bike ride. We will be riding there from our hotel. 

Pam McElfresh (Powell)

The mixer was great last night. We  had a terrific turn out. I hope we have even more come to the dinner. Everyone looked wonderful and had lots to catch up on. Tim and I are looking forward to seeing everyone tonight. Thanks again to the committee for all the hard work.

Paula McAdow (Christian)

Thanks to all who worked on the 50th reunion.  It was very nice.  Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'll see you at the next one.

Charles Price

Great to see everyone. Bummer to not be able to spend more time with each of you. So interesting lives.

Good Morning!

I want to thank all of the committee members (you were all amazing) and also those special classmates who stayed around both nights to "undecorate".  We had over two hundred on Friday and Saturday night!  All of you coming is what makes our Class Reunions the success they have been over the years.  We hope everyone enjoyed their "50th" Class Reunion and we also hope you continue to use the website to keep connected.

Many people asked last night how many was in our class.  The official record they gave me 30 years ago when they gave me our class names was 552.  I also have an Advocate article that headlines Newark Class of 1968 graduates 552!!  

I pray for Safe Travel to all of you traveling today.  I will see some of you at the Schooll Tour at 12:30 PM in front of the Gym (the same one that was our gym in 1968.)

Our POST reunion meeting is set for Monday, September 17 at 6:00 pm at the church!  Everyone is invited!

God Bless,

Peg
