I got an email from our Spartan Mike Bones Bocknavitch On the story of Bono vs Bones in his own words!

"ON THE BONO ? 
When I went to Bowling Green Coach 
Nehlen put Bones on my Helmet. And it stuck
From BG to Cleveland to Xerox Then to
Cincinnati and IBM so 49 Yrs later and I can’t shake
The Bones nickname For corporate functions
My name tag just said Bones funny how it traveled
With me to Cleveland WVA Cincinnati to ARIZONA and BACK
TO Cincinnati"

and there is your answer!

Joseph Goodell

Bones vs Bono , it sound like to me the BG coach didn't know how to spell or couldn't hear very good but so he placed  Bones  by mistake on his helmet . I can understand how it stuck for 49 yrs and it's all because a coach couldn't hear very good  or spell. It's been BONO all through grade school and high school . Hey coach just spell his last name It's BOchNO vich  . Yours truly Joe GO odell  , the Mayor   lol

No luck finding Russell Wright, Gary Krauss  & Judy Green Stibe. I searched the Toledo Library Obituary Index, Unless they died oiut of state and obit was not copied to Toledo...

Francis Bialecki

I have also searched different obituary sites for Gary, Russel, and Judy and haven't had any luck finding anything about them in any obituary sites I have searched. Hopefully somebody who knows them will read the forum and let us know any details about them.

Thanks Jan! And let's not forget the Kareoke Night Roger has planned at Barbies Place. 10 pm...the same night...bring your best song...

Chris Grevis

Is there goig to be a Fundango this Month, I have not seen a post on that subject.

Susan Ehrhardt (Hancock)

If anybody has an ancestry .com account, you can search for these people using their name, birth year and city.  SOMETHING should pop and help you find out what has happened to them or where they are.  I let my membership lapse.

Patrick Gilbert

Great idea Sue. If anyone has this membership please check for our MIA's which, by the way, are only a fraction of what they were a few years ago when Nancy Szymanski took on the job of searching for classmate address. Down from aproximately 120 to only 38 missing classmates now.  Thanks Nan for all your hard work. 

And the tough task of searching out obituaries by Gary McMahon and Frank Bialecki.  You guys rock. Thanks for your efforts in this area

Hi Classmates!  I have heard a few rumors that some folks are not planning to RSVP for the reunion in case something else comes up. They plan to "just show up." Please RSVP, regardless of the number of events you are attending.

We must provide the hotel with numbers for the Friday and Saturday events. The committee is arranging food, souvenirs, name tags and a dozen other things. Showing up without an RSVP is unfair to the hard working committees, embarrasing to you, and downright rude to those that did RSVP. We want you there and we want to know you are coming. If you have any questions, we have lots of answers so don't hesitate to ask.  Go online, call, email, text or whatever is available and let us know you will be at the reunion weekend events! 

Manuel Chambers

I totally agree with Janis. The committees and people on them deserve all our respect for their tireless work. Showing up uninvited is rude anywhere. Again thanks to everyone involved for your time and effort. 

Patrick Gilbert

Good news! We can stop looking for Gary Krauss, Frank & Gary...... He has reset his password last night. Ain't life grand! 

Dale Benington

Yikes!! Time is flying and I haven’t posted the “Fundango" information yet. Such a sacker.

Francis Bialecki

Just to let everyone know that don't live in Toledo...but I'm sure a lot of Spartans went there and grew up around it....the Twin Oaks Bowling alley was totally destroyed by fire today...a total loss. The cause is unknown at this time but it could possibly be arson as there were threats earlier this year against the owners about their statements about Muslims. Their lives were threatened and also someone said they would burn the alley down.

Mark Cramer

I am sorry to see that Twin Oaks Bowling Alley is a complete loss. I used to walk past it every day on my way to DeVeaux and Start. The grandparents of Phil Kurtz (SHS ’68) used to own it until (I believe) sometime in the ‘70s. Phil and I grew up across the street from each other, and his grandparents lived a few blocks away in a house adjacent to the bowling alley.

I saw the smoke from the fire while I was driving on Nantucket and turning onto Monroe St. My youngest son saw the fire while visiting friends in West Toledo.  

Let us remind ourselves that as of yet, no one knows if the fire was arson, and if it were arson no one knows the motive of the arsonist(s). The motives of arson are varied and include profit, extremism, vandalism and a host of others. I am certain that the TFD will conduct a rigorous and thorough investigation, and in time we’ll know more than we do now.  

Janis Fought (Brown)

My nephew Arjay’s birthday dinnner in Thursday so I will miss this month. Remind everyone that deadline is September 4 for the reunion! Time to stop talking and make that reservation!

Roger Worley

Patrick Gilbert

Thanks Roger,

We are all stocked up and going to ride this one out on the windward side of the island.  The south (Waikiki) side should get the brunt of the wind and waves (8 - 12ft) predicted. I'm bummed they canceled golf both Saturday  & Sunday  ; ). It should be only a category 1 Hurricane by the time it hits us on Friday. .. c u all in October! 

Janis Fought (Brown)

Some of us that have experienced hurricanes know that the biggest threat comes after the storm-- water, not wind. Inches and inches of rain, flooding and surge, power outages, drinking water contamination, not being able to flush. I hope you don't have to experience the unhappy aftermath.

Pam Galbraith (Hudson)

Stay safe Pat!!!!
