I won't be able to attend in early August, though if
any gathering is held at Moundbuilders perhaps I would
study up on some Yippie '68 Democratic National Convention
tactics and change all my plans. (Just joking.)

I take a traditional vacation to Nerk around July 4th every year, but with mom getting old, I try to get up there a couple times more a year. So anytime would be good for me.

We've now booked up our summer holiday. Flights currently seem particularly inexpensive. I'll be in Newark from the 31st of July through the 6th of August so the first weekend in August is good for me (1st or 2nd). I can see different people want different times. Now that everyone has access to everyone else, I can just arrange something informal with whoever happens to be around then.

If I get back at all, it will likely be around July 4th. Hopefully, whenever I get back, I can look up some folks and go have a cold one. Or two.

(Warning: you have to read Posts #5 and #32 to understand this.) I was scanning a list of novels from the 30s in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, and it struck me that John O'Hara's Appointment in Samarra was on one of T.E. Dickerson's lists. Can I get confirmation of this from anyone? At some point, you erstwhile English scholars must realize that benumbed silence will rouse the spirit of T.E., and as with Marley's Ghost, you will regret that he came calling . . . .
Sorry to interrupt the debate on the annual gathering.

I just talked to Terry Lohrman from '69. They are having their 40th on Aug 15 at the VFW hall. '67 is getting together at the Grill on the same day. If we can work it out, it would be great to have ours on the same weekend so we can meet up with some of the folks from the other two classes at the same time.

Hello everybody! Has a date been set for this summer? It's April, Spring Break, and my thoughts have turned to plans for summer travel. Reservations are being booked. I could possibly hook on a swing through Ohio, as it would be great to see everyone. Peg? Incidentally, I think we all appreciate the work you've done to keep us all together as a class as much as possible. Thanks!

With the Class of 67 and 69 having their get-togethers on week-end of August 14-15th, I think that would be great to add to the crowd. I could check on the Friday night at the grill or go with 67 on Saturday. Thoughts??
I know Steve Lawrence was hoping for the 1st week-end in August, however whatever majority wants.
Let me know.

We have lost two more of our classmates.
I was very sad and also very surprised to read that Susie Schuyler died recently. She died Feb. 16, 2009.
And in today's paper, there was an obituary for Terry Chancey. I'll paste what appeared in the online Advocate below.
Just to let all the rest of us know that I care about you!
It's scary to me that most of the time I still haven't decided what I want to do with my life and there are people our age who have no more of it. This makes me want to shift into high gear and get something worthwhile accomplished.
Below is the URL containing Terry's obituary.

[Terry Lee Chancey
July 6, 1949-April 15, 2009
April 16, 2009
A funeral service for Terry Lee Chancey, 59, of Newark, will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, with Mark Pierce, chaplain of Hospice of Central Ohio officiating. Burial will follow in Newark Memorial Gardens.
Terry passed away April 15, 2009, at Arlington Care Center. He was born July 6, 1949, in Buckhannon, W.Va., to the late Benjamin Earl and Marjorie (Trickett) Chancey.
Terry was a U.S. Army veteran and employed by Tamarack Farm Dairy.
Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the funeral home, 985 N. 21st St., Newark.

Also, on reunion times, anytime is good for me; we never go anywhere. The Grill was a nice informal get-together but it was really crowded; is there a possibility we can reserve the whole thing?

Dave Froberg

Oh man it would be great if we could meet on the same W/E as the other two classes even if it wasn't on the same night. It would save me from having to make two trips up within a couple weeks of each other. I would hate to miss Steve though, since he is coming in from England.

I guess my preference is Aug 15. But if it is decided to be on another day, I'll make it there.

I plan on being in Newark from July 22 to August 5 to help with my mother so the first week-end of August would work for me.

Would like some more people to give their two or three cents worth.
I had already put Terry's obit on our memory page.

I always seem to pick the wrong dates to come to Newark. It sounds like mid-August is the best for people who have to travel to attend. Perhaps for people who are in the area they could do the first weekend as well. Something for people who don't want everything well organised but just like going out someplace informally. It probably isn't all that onerous to go out a couple times a month if all you have to do is show up and have say a meal, picnic, or the like. Masive attendance isn't important, just nice to hang out.

Dave Froberg

No you don't Steve. You have a heck of a long way to go, so let the folks who are much closer to Newark jumble their schedules rather than you try to fit the rest of us.

Steve (Mel), what Dave says, and I live on the other end of the country. Let the locals adjust.

Dave and Mead,

Jane and I are planning to be at The Grill on the 1st of August. I'm not sure exactly who else might show up. Spencer has said that he's in. If no one else shows up we'll sort out the ills of the world ourselves. If a few others do then we'll party until they throw us out onto 21st. It would be great to see you but I'll certainly understand if you put it off until another year. I imagine there isn't much difference in miles between Idaho and Newark vs London and Newark.

Planning on meeting up with Steve and anyone in the area because I was unable to be there for the actual 40th reunion. Mary Ellen said she'd try to make it sure do hope more will try - love seeing old friends.

I haven't made arrangements yet but hope to spend July 1 to July 8 or 9 (or something like that)in Nerk. WSU will start getting busy in early August, so that is not a good time for me to be gone. When I have some firm dates, I'll post them. I'd like to get to gether with anyone in town. It's been too long.

Malcolm Montgomery

Ooops, forgot, Steve. I moved across the state line into Washington (but I can see Idaho from my house). It's still about 2500 miles if driving. It's an incredible drive if one has the time. I used to do it in a few days but don't think I could in less than 8 or 9 days now.

I plan to be in Nerk the first week of July (1-7) and possibly the first weekend in August as well for a family reunion. Would be good to get together with whomever is around then. Where/what is The Grill?

05/24/09 09:06 AM #64    

 

Jane Michener (Heston)

The Grill is a restaurant, North 21st Street, just before you get to Derby Downs Road - it's on your left - that is if you are traveling north. Across from where the Big Bear store use to be.

Time wise - anytime after 7:00PM seems good.

Sorry that I didn't know about the reunion untill after it was all over. I always "check out" Danny Sherman at Kroger's and he told me about it. Last I heard at the 35th reunion was that Peg wasn't going to do it anymore cause she couldn't get any help. I ran into several ole '68 classmates after it was all over and they didn't know anything about it either. How sad for us. I wouldn't even know about this web site now if it hadn't been for Larry Nethers, an ole Lincoln guy and he lives in another state! I helped clean out his aunt/grandmothers house for auction and he was there, how lucky for me. He emailed the info. Thanks Larry. I see some names on the list that probably don't know about this web site and I'm going to do my best to get a hold of them and give them all the info. I did call one girl this evening and left her a message. Can't wait to see how many more I can get in touch with. I like the idea of getting together every year. It doesn't have to be an expensive dinner. State Parks are good for picnics. Oh Peg, I left a set of scissors at your house about five and a half years ago, I kept forgetting to drive up the hill after work to get them, sorry.

Whenever anyone is in town and wants to meet up, let me know. My phone # is listed. If you don't remember me, I was the cute one. Ha! Ha! Just kidding. I'm still funny after all these years. I'm a free bird & my time is real flexible. Just because we didn't hang out together back in the day, doesn't mean we can't be friends now. We have all gotten smarter and wiser through the years. I know a lot of you know where some of the missing classmates are, so get in touch & tell them about the website.
