Wagner's Park - Fun for the Whole Family

Hope everyone is enjoying your long Labor Day weekend. Can you believe summer is almost over and school has started again? Time sure does fly by.

We've been busy this week making last minute calls trying to get our final count for the reunion dinner and picnic. Here are some additions to who is coming to the dinner and the list of those families coming to the picnic on Sunday.

Dinner RSVP's since our last post: Teresa Baker Lenk, Lisa Bolton Southers, Scott Bowers, Darrin Foster, Stacy Hartford Foster, Julie Keiser, Tammy Leonard, Doug Leonhard, Sharyn Lesher, Steve Mitchell, Annette Mullen, Ross Sterner, Jim Styers, and Amy Way Worley. We still have a few days, so if you are still undecided or know someone who still hasn't made up their mind, please let them know we'd love to see them.

Classmates and their families who are planning to join us for the picnic: Lester Fisher, Frank Forrer, Brian Freeman, Dave Graham, Robert Hammaker, Kathy Kehring Leiter, Joe McNaughton, Annette Mullen, Teresa Mullen Hower, Debbie Page Hammaker, Nancy Pettigrew Hughes, Angie Reynolds Wagner, Eric Simmons & Amy Vaughan Simmons, Ross Sterner, Warren Yohe and Andy Zeigler. There are a lot of activities for everyone to do a Wagner's Park, baseball field, soccer field, jungle gym and swings and fishing. We're planning other fun stuff for the kids!

Just a note - there are still some classmates we never did locate, their addresses have changed since the 20th class reunion. If you have any resources to help us find them, it would greatly be appreciated. They are Ron Metz, Dave Bucher, Brett Hancock, Keith Hannon, Adelle Bankert Seitz and Simon Shaw. We also do not have every one's e-mail addresses, so please feel free to pass the blog link onto fellow classmates.

Don't forget you can post a message or comment.

Meetings, Meetings, Meetings

We've been busy working out the details for the reunion and having so much fun. Talking with old friends, via e-mail or the phone is probably the best part of planning the reunion.

Responses are steadily coming in. The deadline is past but it's not too late to get your RSVP in. We have some time before we need to give our dinner count to the Marysville VFW.

While Frank and Les are enjoying the sun & sand this week with their families, everyone else has been anxiously waiting for "news from Teresa's mailbox". It's become a daily ritual. We really do look forward to hearing from you.

Here's a quick list of some of the classmates who are coming to the dinner: Ann Alander, Dave Clouser, Earl Clouser, Beth Davis Gammon, Lester Fisher, Frank Forrer, Jack Holland, Brian Knaub, Kathy Leiter Kehring, Ben Kreps, Brian Mader, Judy May Schreiber, Jim Medellin, Kelly Morrow, Teresa Mullen Hower, JR (Carmel) Mutzabaugh, Debbie Page Hammaker, Nancy Pettigrew Hughes, Angie Reynolds, Charlie Ryan, Laurel Shearer, Mike Walak, Warren Yohe, and Craig Zimmerman.

Please send in your RSVP as soon as possible. Three weeks and counting!!!

Planning the 25th Class Reunion

Hi Classmates,

Hope everyone is enjoying our 40's and this blog finds everyone in good health. Helping to plan the last reunion was so much fun, thought I'd do it again. Planning always comes with challenges. It seems we lost more classmates (they moved) in the last five years and a lot of e-mail addresses have changed. Another challenge was the location and something different to do than we've done in the past, that's where the family picnic comes in.

We hope word gets out that we have a blog and see how this goes. This is very new to me, so with the help of my son, Zach (who posted a blog when he traveled through Europe this past spring), I really hope this is a huge success. Our desire is to reunite old friends and interest people to come to our 25th Class Reunion. I do understand traveling and costs may be an obstacle this year and realize people may have other commitments. We'd still love to have your information for our directory and it's way to keep in touch.

I'd really love to see everyone. Sending many blessings!

Warmest Regards,
Debbie Page Hammaker
