Hi Donie -

I took lots of photos but am waiting on others who attended to send me any they want to share so I can put them in order.  We also had a photo booth and they are sending me a CD with all those photos.  I will get photos posted soon.  We missed you !!!!! 

Kathleen Inama (Staats)

Hi everyone! I am so sad to have missed this reunion since I was lucky enough to have been at the rest.  I volunteer at Muscular Dystrophy camp and this was my 25th year.  It's always Father's Day weekend and we set up the night before. I didn't realize it was the same weekend because the 14th is earlier than most Father's Days have been.  Just didn't put two and two together.  Could it be my age! LOL.  Once I realized it I had trouble getting back to the page with times and dates for the other events in hopes I could show up at one of those. Thanks to all of you for your hard work to put this together because it can't be easy.  Hope you had a large crowd and can't wait to see the pictures.

Much love,

Kath

Reunion photo update

I been working on getting the photos loaded on our website.  Thanks to everyone who sent photos (almost every photo I received was either sideways or upside down - thank goodness for the rotate feature- LOL).  But seriously, thanks for sending in your photos and I will soon have the 45th reunion live on our website. 

Christine Shaefer (Michel)

Thanks, Janet!  You rock!!  

Donie Stump (Parker)

What would we do without Shady to take care of all of us.  Thanks Janet for all your work.  I cant wait to see the pictures.  I sure missed seeing everyone.

The answer is we would be lost Donie!  Even though I could not make it to this one, I do thank you Janet and the reunion team for obviously putting on a very fun Class of '69 reunion!  Cannot wait to see the pics!

hugs to all,

Hey Shady-Baby!  I'm loving all the pics & I gotta' tell you - I REALLY appreciate you always getting my best (?) side in every shot!  And to all of you who couln't make it; we truly missed you and hope you are planning on coming to the 50th!!! Shady & I are already dreaming up big surprises (tee-hee chuckle-chuckle)  We're still GREAT - We're still FINE - think I'll sit down & have a glass of wine...

Janet Shady (Winemiller)

ShutterBooth Photos are now uploaded on the website - email notice sent to everyone.  I got the CD images in the mail yesterday and put most of the slide show together late last night.  I was cracking up at 1:00 in the morning going over the photos.  My husband Tom will be happy not to hear the words "class reunion" again for awhile - LOL

Connie Miller (Beddow)

The "Kissing Booth" slide show was AWESOME! It reminds me of why I love and miss you all, so much! Hugs and kisses back at ya! 

Deborah Diefendorff (Boies)

These photos are hysterical and show how much fun our class can still have, we are crazy people, love it!  Thank you Janet and all for putting together such a wild time.  Would not have expected anything but a good time, just sorry to have missed it.  Colleen, have another glass on me, ha~!  Love to all,

Janet Shady (Winemiller)

Stay Sick, You Purple Knif !!

Deborah Diefendorff (Boies)

Papa ooooo maaw maaw, I think you are on to something Jeff!  LOL  (who doesn't know how to spell that song from Ghoulardi but I tried!)

Colleen I had planned on being there to save you from the PITA but it just didn't work out this time but hopefully the 50th will work.  I hardly get to Ohio except at Christmas time and no one usually goes out in that mess but will get in touch if there is time :-)

Ernie Benton

I love it. Jeff, you can ( Cool It,With the Boom Booms ). But you are so right !!!!!! I want to let everyone know,the trip was so worth it. Maybe the 69/50 we all meet in PARMA...P A R M A...(No white socks.) Janet great job the pic of Ghoulardi, also on all all the pics of 69/45 . Looking forward to the next reunion. Ernie

Janet Shady (Winemiller)

THANKS Ernie - Soooooooo happy you were able to join us!!  Please keep in touch and don't forget to "turn blue".
Gotta go I think I hear "a knock on the phone".

HaHaHaHaHa  

Thomas Clapper

Hi everybody. Jan and I had a great time at the party. Jeff they told me that was a kissing booth.I was paying a dollar a kiss.  They didn't tell me it was a Photo Booth. Suckered again. I was disappointed I didn't get to talk to everybody at the party I missed a few people shouldn't of spent so much time playing with the bonfire. The road rally photos look great I wish I could have gone on that. I think Keith Lang and Missy may have called into UPS headquarters giving him additional information. The 50th should be big.

Yea they said it was a kissing booth.

Gary Diefendorff

Colleen, to be a Pain in the Ass you need to be with an Ass to be a pain to, so there.  And don't count on Debi to control me. I don't know how Keith and Missy made it back in time on the road rally since I think the UPS guys are only allowed to make right turns and we spent most of the time going counter clock wise. 

Jerry (Jake) Wood

Hey Group ...nice spread and the food looked good too..hopefully nobody "Turned Blue.".The group takes nice pictures you should wear your teeth more often...stay finky...JW

Linda Whitten (Piazza)

Looking at all the pictures of the reunion it looks like you all had a great time.  I hope I will be able to make the next one, I would love to see everyone. The picture booth pictures are awesome.  

Mary Beth Sawdey (Funk)

I finally had some time to really look at all the pictures...good times were had by all!  Thanks to all for making it so special.  The photo/kissin' (just for you, Tom) booth was so much fun.I wish I lived closer so I could really spend some quality time with you locals.  If you are EVER in the KC area, please look me up!
 

Carolyn Wimer (Heffelfinger)

     It really was perfect. The BBQ was fantastic. The Clapper home was a dream house in such a beautiful location. I think everyone enjoyed the fire and music. I only wish I had drank more wine so I could have done my Jagger imitation of "Sympathy for the Devil"  (always a hit)  I know there was a lot of work and thought put into the 45th and it was a huge success! Glad I was invited! The Brenner Gang held their own right Gary and Ernie?
