From Sam Edgar:

Hi Diana,

It was great to view pictures from the reunion posted on the web site. It looks like I missed out on quite a bit of fun. Kind of familiar territory for me.

It was interesting to read that your group will be meeting monthly. That seems like a great idea. Perhaps it will work out sometime to join you. My father is ill with Alzheimer's so I may be home more often than I have the past years. Next visit is end of October.

I noticed that you only had few pictures in the family section. Perhaps you will toss in the one I have attached. It is from a Father's Day trip to the Denver Zoo this year. My wife Pia is on the left. Then on my other side are our children Emily (19), Kevin (13) and Thomas (21) on the end.

Thanks,

Sam


Reply from Sam Edgar after sending a photo that my husband (Larry Jones) took of the group:

Hi Diana,

Thanks for the wonderful group photo.

I did look through the pictures on the website and must admit I would have trouble identifying more than 25% as classmates and probably a very small fraction of those by name. It was still great to see them.

Thanks for all the work you and the team did to make the reunion happen, the great job of recording it and apparently setting the stage for the next one.

From Stephen Grund

Ms. Jones,

Please send me a photo. I would have been in the class of 1969, but I ended up at Lehman. However, I hung out w/ such dubious characters as Chuck Lawrence, Karen Shackleford, Mark Casper, Albert Bigelow, Don Watson, et al. As the famous lie goes the check is in the mail (tomorrow), well actually today (Friday).

Thank you much,

Karen Shackleford forwarded this info to me.



From Anne Heppe Adair

Hi Diana! I think the reunion was a huge success! Kudos to you, Irene, and everyone else who helped! I think most of us did not want the reunion to end! Ha! Hey, please put me down for one group photo. I will send you a check in the mail for $15. Again, muchos gracias. Annie



From Karen Shackleford Moser

Hi Diana, please order me one, I'm getting the check ready as we speak. You did a great job taking pictures at the reunion. You did a great job with the reunion period! Thanks again and hope to see you next month.

From Mark Casper

I would like one please. Could you ask the guy to Photoshop it over my image, you know, trim a few lbs., dye a little hair, remove a few wrinkles, etc.? The rest of the classmates haven't change a bit. It was great to see you all

Diana, please order me one copy of the reunion photo. I will send you a

From Dan Day

What a joy to see everybody again. Again, thanks to those of you who spent considerable time planning a successful reunion. Many of you asked about my sister, Debbie, who has been dealing with Multiple Sclerosis for the last 20 +/- years. She is currently in a declining episode and is losing some additional body function, but her attitude and sense of humor are great. She is currently making her home in an assisted living community. Debbie's daughter and her family lives in a nearby town, and her daughter works in Port Huron so it is very convenient for her to look in on Debbie. Debbie also gets frequent visits from her 3 grandkids. Some of you asked for her address so that you could write to her........she would really appreciate that kindness.

God bless ya'll.

From Donna Hartong Rogers

Dear Diana,

Good morning! Wish I could be there but can’t. Hope you put a lot of pictures from the reunion on line. It sure has been along time since I seen anyone from school. I’ve been talking to Marty a good bit lately also seen her last month when I came up for my nephews wedding. It was really great seeing her again. Just love her, still the same. Hope you are doing well too. Please tell everyone I said hello. Maybe I’ll be able to come to the next one.

Take care,

Donna Rogers (Hartong)


From Pam Rank Evans

Diana, you and the reunion committee are doing a great job planning and organizing the reunion.  In addition, the class reunion web site is a wonderful resource, especially for those of us that live out of state. Thanks to you and the committee for all of your hard work.  It's fun to see the recent photographs of our classmates.  Attached please find a recent photograph of me and my family.  We won't be able to make the reunion.  We rarely return to Ohio.  All of our relatives have moved south.  Have a wonderful time.  Please tell everyone I said hi.

Hi Irene,

I will be coming with my sister Patrice, Grant Oberlin and his girlfriend, Kathy Tumi.  Possibly I will be bringing another person but I haven't really sold her on a trip to Ohio in August.

Loking forward to seeing everyone.

From Albert Bigelow

Hey Irene,

Joann and I are planning on coming to the reunion.  Thank you for all you do and all the gang for the work you have accomplished.  I can imagine this has not been easy.  I'm sure it will be worth the fun.

Lots of love to you

See you in August!

From Candi Ross Moore

Hi Irene,

Long time no see!  Probably our 25th reunion!  At this point I am planning on trying to attend.  I need to come back and see my brother anyway & it gives me a good excuse.  Wish we could see some of the gang from the class of '69 too!  Let me know if there is anything I can do.  Swamped with work right now as usual but will plan for this event.  Looking forward to seeing ya!


From Marty

Hope you're getting a good response from people. 

It's hard to believe it's been that long--I didn't think we were that old!

Got an email from Donna Hartong, don't know if you have her address.

Am looking forward to seeing everyone.

Later--Marty
