Hi Classmates,

Denise Arp, Marlene (Osborne) Lucas, Cassie (Merkle) Winans, Dale Uber, Boyd Shaffer, Kevin Martin and Arthur Stewart will meet again on Friday May 29 for our 50 year reunion. The reunion is Friday July 31, 2026, from 5 to 9 PM at Cable Hollow.  We will meet and greet starting at 5, with dinner at 6:30.  Appetizers will be Pretzel Bites wtih Beer Cheese and Spinach Artichoke Dip w/ pita chips.  Dinner will be Pasta Bar with chicken, meatballs, two sauces, veggies and breadsticks.  Cash bar.  Cable Hollow is waiving the event fee, so the cost will be for dinner, tip and tax.  We also need a small fund for miscellaneous costs like the annual payment for the website name, so we believe the cost of $40 per person will cover everything.  Instead of a band or DJ we are hoping it will be a great summer evening, so we can wander in and out of the pavilion, sit by the fire pits and get reacquainted.  We will have 70's music via a playlist, and we can turn up the music after dinner.

Arthur Stewart has reserved tee times for us on the morning of July 31st (starting at about 10 AM) for folks who want to play golf.  No charge for greens fees and cart.  He has reserved 24 slots for golf so call Arthur Stewart at 814-688-0219 to make your tee time.

On Saturday August 1 there are two events.  The Larry Himes Memorial Golf Tournament will be played at Jackson Valley with registration at 8 and tee-off at 9.  Also, Kevin Martin has arranged a tour of EHS at 9 AM.

We still have more planning and tasks, including adding classmates to the website (60 so far).  We have a 20 year old spreadsheet that we will use, in the next couple weeks, to make more contacts.  We haven't started work on decorations or a memorial book for deceased class members, but we have a power point presentation with all 34 classmates who have passed.  We will figure out more steps at our next meeting, which is May 29 at noon, at Cable Hollow.  All of you are welcome to join on May 29.  Just show up!

PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE TO SEE WHO IS SIGNED UP.  IF YOU ARE IN CONTACT WITH ANY CLASSMATE NOT ON THE LIST, PLEASE CONTACT THEM ASAP AND HAVE THEM SIGN UP. OTHERWISE WE WILL BE SENDING SNAIL MAIL AND TRACKING DOWN 20 YEAR OLD ADDRESSES.

Looking forward to seeing you in July.
