I hope that everyone had a great Christmas, and is looking forward to the coming New Year. Don’t forget that we are having our “Fundango” tomorrow night (12/28), starting at 6 pm, at Ye Olde Durty Bird, which is located in downtown Toledo at 2 South St. Clair St.

“Fundango” tonight (Thursday)(12/28), starting at 6 pm, at Ye Olde Durty Bird, which is located in downtown Toledo at 2 South St. Clair St.

A quick mention, that I forgot to mention earlier, and that has nothing to do with our class "Fundangoes", tomorrow (Friday), December 29th, at the Perrysburg Ralphies, I will be having a Gameday Party for the 2017 Cotton Bowl. The game, featuring the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the USC Trojans, starts at 8:30 pm. Hope that you will consider coming and joining me and some of my friends  (because its tough to imagine watching the Buckeyes play football without the other 105,000 college football fans that I normally watch the Buckeyes with). 

For whatever it is worth, other than the playoff bowls, the prognosticators are claiming that this will be the best bowl game match-up of the entire 2017 “Bowl Season,” and the last time that OSU defeated USC was 1973, since then OSU has lost to USC in the last six match-ups. I am hoping that with that kind of bulletin board material, the Buckeyes will be fired up to play a great game. So do come if you can.

Loved seeing the Fundango pictures.  Sure wish I lived closer so I could attend more of these.  Dale, you have to be a happy camper after the Ohio State game!  We only have one more BIG to get their win!  Normally, I do not ever side with Michigan, but I will make an exception on Jan 1.  We Boilers were certainly happy!

I was hosting the New Years Party this year, but am now sick so it has shifted to a friend and I will sit here alone as 2017 rolls around to 2018.

I hope that everybody has a wonderful and HEALTHY New Year!  Be safe out there tonight.

Marge Updegraff (Mendeljian)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEB PFANN, OUR YOUNGEST CLASSMATE!!! (She is no longer the baby, but now a toddler). Have a great day Deb!

Diane Paren (Marchand)

Thanks for the great pictures of the Fundango. I wish all of you a very happy, healthy and wonderful 2018!  Looking forward to seeing everyone at the great Start High 50th class reunion.  (I still can’t believe we made it this long!)

Happy New Year! Just nine months until our 50th Reunion and counting down.

To begin the year of the 50th, all members of all of the reunion committees will meet before the Fundango, Tuesday, January 23, at 4:00 PM. If you want to be involved and have not yet been drafted or volunteered, please attend.

Ed and Dale will be announcing the location in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, make a calendar note and see you in three weeks!

Roger Worley UPDATE!!

I Spoke to Roger yesterday and he is still in the Heartland Rehabilitation Center in Sylvania.  He tells me that they are able to get him up on the parallel bars for a few minutes every day. His light headedness has subsided but he is very frustrated over the whole ordeal. He was very happy to tell me of all the classmates that have sent cards and come out to see him. Please keep up this encouragement it really seems to help him! Thanks Spartans we need each other now more than ever!

Janis Fought (Brown)

I went to see Roger last week. Pat is correct! It means a great deal to him to have company. Can't imagine how boring it must be. He hates the food there and has lost 20 pounds so a vanilla milkshake or fried chicken from KFC or Popeyes would make him happy (he's not into chocolate). 

Mark Cramer

Thanks for the update. I have seen him twice, and it seems as if he's finally making some progress. When I last saw him, he wasn't able to do much because of the blood presure issues. I frequently shop at the Krogers next door to the rehab center, and will stop in again soon.

Hall of Fame Dinner and Ceremony is Saturday, February 24, at the Holiday Inn French Quarter. Dennis Hall from our class will be honored posthumously. You need not have known Denny well or at all to represent our class at the dinner. We need six more people for our table. Kim Maros, Joe Goodell, Chip Carstensen and I are at the table now. Cost is $50. The dinner raises money for a scholarship fund. (Food is decent and there is a bar.) Come on, Class of 68, let's have at least one table of 10.

Attention Classmates

If your Senior picture was not in our Senior Yearbook, please contact me in the Message Forum. I will need a picture  from 1968 for our 50th Class Reunion. Thanks.
