Ok guys Dave is listed as being in our class.  He may have graduated early or late puting him in either the class of 67 or 68. I for instance,  thanks to my good buddy Mr Howard, was not allowed to walk with the class as I was one half semester of English short of graduation and had to attend Summer School to get that credit. I was then technicaly placed in the class of 69 either by the computer or more probably the administration office.

Yes,  Mary Ann .. Go to the home page link on the top Left of the message forum. Then scroll down to the big yellow reunion notice and click on that. ..

Kathy,

I also remember that Rick had a large family. His mother's obit lists 9 surviving children, 31 grand-children, 64 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren. (See below.) I can't imagine what holiday get-togethers are like.

In September of that year, Roma was one of the 1st WWII war-brides to come on the S.S. Lurline ship to the United States.

Hey can anyone tell me what happened to David Stram. Not sure if I spelled his last name correctly. He was in a few of my classes.     Thank you Becky Raczkowski Garcia

Gary Johnson

Good news/bad news!

I just accepted an offer on my house in Indiana so I am moving back to Ohio. The bad news is that the move is scheduled for the first week of October so I can't attend the reunion. I will miss seeing all of my classmates!

Janis Fought (Brown)

Gary, even if you only come to one event, please try! We would love to see you! Where will you be in Ohio?

Gary Johnson

We are moving to Aurora, a little town SE of Cleveland and close to family on both sides of the aisle. I'll see what I can work out.

Thank you Rodger Worley for finding Mike -Zielinski... See folks those missing classmates are still out there please check our Mia list and see who you can find! We are down to only 37 MIA's from aproximately 120 two years ago thanks to the efforts of Nancy Szymanski  and other classmates who took the time to make that call to a cousin, Brother, Sister or BFF to see if they know where to find them. Hard to believe some of the names on the list like Cheryl Colquhoun & Cary Lutz.. common gang the reunion is only Two months away and the of of towers are going to be spending a small fortune in order to attend with air fare, hotel, car rental.  So please get on this gang!!

Thomas Miller

Pat put it quite nicely...out of towners will need to spend a small fortune to attend. Unfortunately, some of us do not have the money. So, unfortunately, I will probably not be able to attend.

Garanteed,  good food, good times, good friends and great memories! Don't miss this one because of a few bucks.

We tried to give as much advanced notice as possible about the weekend—almost two years—because we wanted to give folks with limited resources an a opportunity to plan for the expenditure. The committee has done the best it can to keep the price per person low and still offer a most memorable weekend. We have raised money (Kim has done the most work) to supplement costs to keep attendees’ costs low, offered a variety of hotel options (there are dozens of motels in the Toledo area with great rates) a bus for the Start tour and a lot of additional activities. Kim and I are very proud of the events put together by a many committees who want to have a good time and reconnect and have done so frugally and responsibly. If, by chance, any money is left over, it will be given back to Start High School.

Patrick Gilbert

Proud??..... as well you should be!. And we classmates are very thankful for all of your efforts Jan & Kim. I for one am looking forward to seeing all those classmates that we have lost touch with over the years. I remember the night my Mom came home from her 50th reunion @ Notre Dame Academy in Toledo. She told me how she got to see people she had went to grade school with. So this reunion will go a lot farther back than just High school. I hope you all can find a way to attend. Stay well old friends and Just Be There!
