Second Wednesday

I think during these winter months we should "keep it simple" since the weather is always an unknown factor. So, Wednesday ... February 10th meet at 10 a.m. at First Watch. Hope you are all keeping warm!
Sherri

Please note that we'll be meeting on the 2nd WEDNESDAY of the month from now on to accommodate several who can't make it on Tuesdays!

Reunion Items made
to order


Kay (Melva) Franz Hodge designed and constructed many items for the class of 1959 including photo albums, photo frames and caps. The items were such a success that she thought other classes might like items made for their reunions. She sends the following message:

Are you looking for a way to make your next reunion more memorable? Contact Kay Hodge for those special items with your graduation and reunion dates on them. You can select from many, many items for your graduates to pick from. Give me a call or send an email and see about making your next reunion special.

Alan Hardtarfer dies
Those of you who attended the 50th Reunion were blessed with having an opportunity to visit with and appreciate the heart of Alan.

Alan and his wife, Janet Cooper, were active participants in all of the activities despite the difficulties they went through to attend.

Alan died January 3, 2010 at his home.  Notes/cards may be sent to the home at 3902 Alameda Drive; San Diego, CA 92103-1606.

HERE for his obituary from the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Alan (front) is shown with classmates at our 50th reunion: (from left) Warren Hall, Gene Jackson, Gary Colburn, Fred Adamson and Jeri Craig.

Photos from 50th Reunion
Several classmates who attended the 50th Reunion are sharing their photos. It will take several days to get all the photos up on the Web site. I've decided to go ahead and post the photos without the captions (which I will add later).

Thanks to the following for sending their photos: Fred and Elodia Adamson, Janet Burnett Huchingson, Marilyn Chamney Lee, Alan and Janet Hardtarfer, John and Rosemary Hamilton Hines, Ida Johnson Jeppersen, Barbara Ludvicek Penning, Nancy Miller Reiling, Katy Wright Young and Kathy Harley (Mary Helen Dorsey Bashlor's sister).

If you have photos from the reunion that you would like to share on the Web site please send to Ruth Bramble Humphrey at ruth@humphreyfam.com.
