Sorry to hear of the passing of your brother Gwen. I used to go to the Mayfly with friends of mine in the Point. I knew Wally from hanging out there every once in awhile. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Happy Birthday  Jan Fought Brown, Miss you.  

Janis Fought (Brown)

Thanks for the birthday wishes! As one of the first to reach 71, I can tell you that I still feel just 70.

Nancy Wolff (Szymanski)

Thank you to whoever fixed the "notification" issue for our website.  I received my first email notification in well over a month.  Once again - sorry if I missed anyone's birthday but know that you're wished good health & happiness.  Stay safe everyone!

Janis Fought (Brown)

Linda Ziemke, I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. He must have been amazing man who raised a wonderful and talented daughter.

Jackie Hanna (Link)

Here's a shout out to Bob Biglin and his wife Cindy who were interviewed on Channel 13 last night for being members of the Metroparks Volunteer Trail Patrol.

Linda Heinl Ziemke's dad, Leon, passed away on January 12th. Deepest sympathy to Linda, her family and her brother David. They lost a gem.

John J. P. Smith

thanks to all for the birthday wishes;  I am the last one in the Class of 1968 to hit 70 -- although my name will forever have an asterisk after it . . . . 

Stay well, everybody!

Manuel Chambers

Happy Birthdays to all of you. I see I missed a couple. Linda so sorry to hear about your father, thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Nancy Wolff (Szymanski)

Linda - so sorry for your loss!  You have another angel in heaven watching over you.

Sorry for any birthdays I missed.  I thought things were fixed as far as receiving email notifications but I was wrong.  Hey Chip C or Pat Gilbert or whoever handles the website - can someone fix the email notification issue?  It's obviously with Buckeye - Jackie Hanna Link is also having this issue.  I just enjoy being in touch with everyone - especially during this COVID stuff.

Thanks

Patrick Gilbert

Hi Nan

I spoke to Chip about this issue when Marge was having the same issue. I"'ll drop him an email as well. Linda so sorry for your loss...

Patrick Gilbert

I got a reply from Chip he is going to check with the website and see what can be done to correct this issue. Will keep everyone posted.

Walter "Chip" Carstensen

I am working on a fix with both Buckeye and Class Creator to get the email and other notifications running properly.  Right now each is pointing to the other as the problem- typical!  I'll keep you posted on progress.  In the meantime let me know if anyone is getting notifications via other email addresses like xxx.gmail, etc.  Thanks for your patience fellow Spartans....

Elizabeth Bachman (Bachman)

Hi all, I receive all the notices.  Gmail address and Spectrum provider. Linda Z  I remember what a handsome couple your parents were. Big hug. 

Jackie Hanna (Link)

Thanks Chip for checking into this. Thinking of you and your family Linda and Phil.

from: RICHARD BURR :

So sad that Jerry passed away. Always hard seeing a classmate depart. RIP Jerry.

Janis Fought (Brown)

To all those classmates who have moved South and no longer experience Northwest Ohio, here is what you are missing. That's a yard stick at 16 inches.

Patrick Gilbert

Thanks Jan!

We don't get any of the white stuff here in Paradise either! Sometimes up on top of the volcano on the Big Island and Maui but of course that entails a plane ride and a car rental to drive to the sumitt. Looking at photos is just fine for this old Spartan!

Please send more photos classmates!!

Manuel Chambers

Wow! I don't miss any of that ugly white stuff. Pat I don't have any Mountain to go look at it. I'm fine with that. To all my classmates up North don't overdo it. Shoveling snow at our age is serious work. It will melt by May.
