Thanks for the reminder, Chris. I guess I have to work off my bucket list items in my 70s. Good thing I only have a handful remaining. I deleted joining the Champions golf tour from my list after 49 years of expectation. To those of you who signed up for the golf outing, I only play for the camaradie and fun of the game now, unless I get an offer I can't refuse. Looking so forward to seeing everyone at the reumion that I will be arriving on the 21st in case I get an offer to play golf prior to the 25th. I will be accessible by phone at 509 979-8576. Go Wildcats!

Again, thank you all for the kind thoughts! Paul Miller can tell you more about this neck of the woods as he has been here longer. Six hours from Seattle, Glacier NP, Boise, if you want to go (sorry Beth Ann ;)), a two hour hike into the largest roadless area in the lower 48, stuff like that. Anyone is welcome, and it’s worth the ride. I do hope all have fun!

Don't worry Chris. In 12 years time 80 will be the new 60. BTW, I hope many of you are bringing your other halves. I've promised Vicky, my wife, that she will have plenty of people to hang out with her.

Working closely with the staff, teachers and building principals across the school system, and the superintendent’s office, our services have impacted thousands of Newark students and parents over the years. From introducing second graders to the vocabulary of college to helping seniors complete their Free Application For Federal Student Aid, the staff and an army of community volunteers focus intensely and efficiently on promoting education beyond high school. Accomplishments include:

Awarding over 3 million dollars of need-based aid to qualified Newark High School graduates over the past twenty-three years;
Increasing ACT test completion rates for juniors twenty-five fold since the inception of the ACT Now! program in 2007;
Forming an innovative partnership in 2009 with Central Ohio Technical College, Denison University and The Ohio State University at Newark to begin a comprehensive early college awareness program in the Newark elementary and middle schools;
Securing over one half million dollars of grant funding to support direct services programming since 2006;

I'll have to find my copy of this classroom photo, but I think it has everyone's name on the back of it, if any one is interested. I must have been ornery, to be next to the teacher. Most are still very recognizable.

Mary Ellen Jackson (Guiler)

Hi Bill, I recognize many, but not all. The names would be great. Do you have 1st grade? This is the only one I found. I went to North Elementary for 3-6, and have none of those. See you ay the reunion!

Here's some more classroom pictures. I'm somehow missing a few years; don't know what happened to them. I have some other pictures, but they are not classroom pictures, so I'll just bring them on my ipad.

I had forgotten that I went to Keller for a little while before Johnny Clem was there. I remembered going to Woodside for second grade though.

I had forgotten that we had two third grades at that time at Keller Elementary. Obviously, I was in the other third grade, because I didn't even remember that these kids went to Keller. I caught up later with Gary Luzio at Roosevelt, where he got me into Boy Scout Troop 5.

Hello, everyone
I see that many people went to Keller school; did anyone have Catherine Smithberger, my Aunt Kate, as a teacher? She used to take me to school with her sometimes before I started school. Also, does anyone have Roosevelt elementary pictures? Not only do I not have any, I don't remember being in any pictures at all at school until 9th grade. (I was probably sick.) Yet another request: does anyone have class pictures from Mound? I went to Mound from 1st to the first month of 3rd, until we moved to Toledo.
Thanks for looking, and thanks for sharing all the pictures. :-)
