A definite hi-lite from the 60th Birthday Party was the card I wound up getting from Tom Clapper which advised, "It's better to burp and taste it, than to fart and waste it."  Yvonne Becker

Well it ain't the FOUR TOPS that's for DAMN sure!! Scary-Okee at it's best! What a great time - BIG thanks to Shel for the liquid refreshments and especially to Tim for all his hard work and wonderful food!   Helen & I noticed that Tim had the standard "bar-towel" hanging out of his back pocket the entire night!!! Oh and no problem Donie, I had enuf' beer for both of us... (Thanks Stinson, for being my chauffer)  HEY YA'LL- 60's GREAT 60's FINE, Let's all make it to the REAL 69!  yea Shady-Baby I'm in - Let's Cruise!!!                          

Mary Beth Sawdey (Funk)

What a blast!!!!  I'm so glad I made the trip...Jeff and Pam's version of "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" by Meatloaf was one of the highlights...and Sharon Abraham Rowe's first time at karaoke!  Cross that one off your bucket list!  Ron, somehow, somewhere, you WILL get that birthday card back that I gave you...you should NEVER have left it behind!  Thanks to all who organized the party, and special thanks to Tim and Shel...Bring on the cruise...I am ready to go!

Sharon Abraham (Rowe)

Yes, I'm one of those "people" who loved highschool.  The "50-10" (can't say 60) birthday bash was a blast thanks to Tim and Shel and Janet and committee who always do a wonderful job organizing our reunions!  I can cross off karoake and air guitar (in public) off of my bucket list thanks to Mary Beth and the crazy gals of '69!  AND we had a wonderful time with Pam and Jeff during the entire weekend!  It was so great bringing Mary Beth back to Wilmington for several days to make up for lost time! I continue to marvel at what wonderful and remarkable friends I have known for 45+ years!

                 C R U I S E   ????                     

   Who is interested in going on a cruise for our 45th reunion ????

   I know it's not cheap but you ain't gettin' any younger & you'll have three years to save for it.

Shady -

   Where are the photos for those of us who couldn't make the birthday bash? Or was there just the one shown above?

Lots of pics but our website was updated with the way photos are uploaded and I haven't had time to figure out the best way to load them (I have been out of town).  There are so many options now and sometimes too many choices are not always good.  I think I will have time this weekend to figure it out.

Dian Fultz

Hey everybody!  It was great to see all of you at the birthday bash.  I hope everyone had a safe trip home.  Thanks to everyone on the committee, you always do such a great job.  Thanks to Tim and Shel.  The cruise sounds great, count me in.  I don't care where we go.  Do you think we will look good in the "Mae Wests" so we don't fall overboard after leaving the bar?  Yes, Donie, I had some wine for you and you had a good time.  See you at the next bash( if some of you aren't on tour singing).    Dian Fultz

Janet Shady (Winemiller)

Photos posted of our 60th birthday bash - these were taken by Joyce & Gary.  As you can see our photo format has dramatically changed & will take some experimenting to see what fun things can be done.  I plan to post more party photos at a later date so keep checking back.

We were also at about our maximum website capacity so rather than delete older galleries to add new I paid (from our class savings account) to boost our capacity from 25MB to 200MB.  That should hold us for awhile so we can continue to add to our wonderful website. 

Hope to see y'all at the ballgame on Wednesday......

Connie Miller (Beddow)

 Thanks for the photos. I loved them! 

Jeff Matthews

  We love the PICTURES... but they just begin to show the FUN ....I wish our kids could 've been there  ....just to embarass them one more time...THANKS to all that made it happen!!

Pam & Jeff -

THANKS TO YOU for all your help on the reunions & helping to make each one special.  You two rock!!  Looking forward to the next one.

the party was a blast. Loved the pictures. It was great seeing everyone. Just say when and I will get the cruise plans started. Believe me you will enjoy it. I have already contacted the CEO of where I plan all my cruises. I think the Bahamas would be a nice cruise for the first timers. Paradise island is beautiful, that's one of the stops.

If you have any ideas of what islands you would like to see just let me know and I will check them out for you. The ships are amazing. 24 hours of fun and lots of food. you are never bored. You can sit by the pool with a book and watch pool games or go in the casino and gamble when at sea. I could go on and on but you get the idea.

Hope to see you all at our 45th.

 Love the pictures.  Thanks so much for sharing with all of us who were unable to make the trip for the party.  Love the idea of a cruise.....what a way to celebrate number 45!!!!  Count this chickadee in!!!!!

Jimmy Goson

 Just saw the photos of the 60th party....sorry I missed it!  I was in Chicago doing a comedy show that weekend...but would have rather been at Murray's place with my school chums.   Next time.

Did someone say cruise?   Eat, drink, float and laugh....perfect for the Class of '69!

  I have been enjoying the facebook page for all of Copley alumni. We need more activity from our class.  Here's the link:

Merry Christmas Classmates!

As you all know, Pilots N Paws is dear to my heart and is a passion for me.  If you get a chance, please set your tivo or DVR's to CNN, December 24th or the 25th. You can see first hand how two of our pilots bring many Christmas smiles!   Pilots N Paws is very grateful to have been chosen by CNN photojournalist Burke Buckhorn as one of the organizations to be highlighted on CNN’s “Giving in Focus” special to air on Christmas Eve at 2:30 and Christmas Day at 4:30 ( eastern time).  We hope you will all tune in to watch Bobo, Lucy and Miley meet their new families and the village it took to get them there!

Claire,  Congrats to your brother, Russ!  Nice article in the Beacon today regarding him being chosen as Fairlawn's new Fire Chief.  I think he graduated in '74 with my brother, Dale (Dock).  The people of Fairlawn are in good hands...Duck

Would somebody pleeeeease post something new on here to read??lol

Connie Miller (Beddow)

Hi Donie  

I'm sooooo looking forward to Nashville. The Opryland Hotel is beautiful. I decided to post a photo of the  plate on my bike. Some people don't get it........   they think I have a problem falling off my bike.

And I miss folks dropping a line in the forum. Thanks for waking us up!  I hope everyone is enjoying a safe and wonderful summer.

See you in October.    xoxo

Mary Beth Sawdey (Funk)

Ok, what the pictures don't show....Chinese firedrills in the parking garage...getting lost in the same parking garage...not able to exit that same parking garage, so Connie decides to lift up the arm across the entrance...so Sharon can drive out the wrong way, and breaks it...lots of soul-searching discussions...shopping, getting lost at the hotel...food, drinks and REALLLLLLY GOOD MUSIC!!!!  Good times were had by all!

Barbara Kuba (Stoll)

I am soooo jealous, I LOVE Nashville, wish I could have gone along.  I think I've been in that same garage!  It sounds like y'all had a lot of fun! Barb Stoll
