Copley High School

Colleen Thomas Cunnane

There once were two ladies(a-hem)named Connie and Colleen
Who, with the ’69-ers, did each - party like a queen!
They drank and they giggled.
And they drank and they wiggled.
So when asked to be pictured for the sake of the CLASS
They obliged a brief kiss – with lips shaped like a bass.

Now why, you may wonder, would they do such a thing
When it’s clear they’d prefer not a queen but a king?
Well the answer is hidden
In lyrics long ago written
‘Tis a song about dancing & jumping around
“Girls Just Wanna’ Have Fun” all around Copley Towne.

So, keep your ear to the ground for the age-less ’69-ers.
‘Cuz if you miss them – for sure – you will be great big whiners
The tapes, now you see, have already been filed.
Their new show to be called, ‘Geezers Gone Wild’
Captured live/in action - only one problem you see
When you look for their boobs, check DOWN by their knee!!!

Oh my, Colleen, that is priceless! We must keep our sense of humor in tact as we age, right? Jimmie-please forgive me, I didn't plan on taking that picture, it just happened, and then I couldn't delete it, too funny...

H E Y G R O U P.....

a documentary on ...GHOULARDI !!!!!

James Goson

My sister just bought me a book on Ghoulardi from Amazon.com. Looks like he is making a comeback. Also,
many clips on You Tube....too bad he is not here to see it. Turn Blue!

Helen Tanaska Morgan

Thank you to everyone who worked on the class reunion!!!
I had a great time. The food was very good,also.
Looks like Colleen and Connie had a good time later that evening. I wish I would have stayed later!!

Colleen Thomas Cunnane

Hey Group!
Cool it with the Boom-Booms over day!!! Ghoulardi - who knew he'd get so big in only 3 years/seems like longer!?! The show last nite on PBS was great - brought back mucho memories - like PARMA's white sox and polka music(never could get away with that now in our OVERLY PC country!) the gurn man from Wales: pa-pa-hoo-mow-mow, pa-pa-hoo-mow-mow! It sure was a great time to be a kid...

Greetings precious Class of 69! Well everyone looked, sounded, tasted and smelled fabulous! I will be praying for everyone's health and safety-no H1N1, T5Y5?, K9T9?, or any other viruses--only the 1969 bug! Bless you all!

Janet Shady Winemiller

Hi Everyone -

I FINALLY got the remaining photos sent to me posted tonight. Thanks to Jimmy Goson & Helen Tanaska for more great pics. Check them out at the end of "Gallery 3"

If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?......
Pilgrims!
(I know it's stupid but it's still funny)

Happy Thanksgiving,
Janet

Deborah Diefendorff Boies

Hey Janet,

Thank you for uploading the new pics.....I must say we look pretty good for "old geezers" (Jerry's term not mine--LOL"

Wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving and remember, you cannot over eat on Thanksgiving--ha~!

On a side note, next week ABC News with Charlie Gibson is supposed to be airing a segment on Pilots N Paws we have been filming. Two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan adopted dogs, one puppy found alone in a cave on patrol and the other fell in step with the troops as they scanned the streets. Their families raised the funds to fly them to JFK and four of our Pilots N Paws pilots then flew them the rest of the way. Very heartwarming. I will do my best to give you a heads up the day it is supposed to be on.

Hello 69ers!
Hope everyone has a warm and happy holiday, despite the weather. Although it is chilly here in VA, the sun is shining and I think I saw Santa checking his list twice today. Love to all. Laurie

James Goson

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday Season and even better 2010....even with no reunion. Check out my profile for the latest Goson Christmas Card..."Rappin' up 2009!"
Happy New Year!

Janet Shady Winemiller

Hope everyone has a holly, jolly holiday.
Don't forget to leave vegan cookies and soy milk for Santa - word on the street is that he's gone veg.

Donie Stump Parker

Merry Christmas to all my fellow classmates. Hope the new year brings you fond memories with your family and friends.

Connie Miller Beddow

Happy New Year everyone. Let's work less, stay as healthy as possible, play as hard as we can, and laugh till it hurts. Love to you all!

Yvonne Becker

Was grieved to hear of the passing of Linda Ladich--never knew she was a diabetic. Surely we're not guaranteed even our next breath...

Donie Stump Parker

I dont know...the ??girl might be Connie Miller. Connie do those look like your legs? Gosh we had fun painting those bleachers!
Donie

Janet Shady Winemiller

Yep, I got a message from Connie - it's her! I added her name to the photo. Good guess Donie.

Dianne Dockus Just

That WAS a good time painting those--helped the custodians, too! I remember getting into a wasp nest & getting stung--but not too bad. I did not remember that big of a group! (I thought a few guys helped us?) Duck

Janet Shady Winemiller

NEW PIC ON WEBSITE! I rec'd an email from Linda Ashley-Fleisher who went to Copley grades 2-7, leaving in 7th grade for Norton where she graduated. She found our website and my email address and sent in this grade school photo. Linda lived on Jacoby Road across from Carol Frlich & Bill Snyder. She remembers a lot of classmates and named Barb Kuba, Dianne Dockus, Marilyn Lott, Jeanne Dukes & Donna Morrison. Let me know if anyone would like to contact her and I will let her know.

Photo is at the end of the "Grade School" gallery.

Hope everyone in Ohio is enjoying the snow ha-ha.

Remember - send me stuff and I will post.
