Happy New Year 2008

Once again hoping that more of the class of '64 will discover and contribute to the weblog. I did get my one new years resolution completed for '07: a living will on Dec. 31, phew! close one. Another grandchild was added to the family in October.

Let me know if you want to co-edit here via email or a comment posted... happy new year, dave

Happy New Year 2007

Here's hoping that more of the class of '64 will discover and contribute to the weblog. I think we are all 60 or older by now, clock's tickin'. Let me know if you want to co-edit here via email or a comment posted...

note: here is the first of the Schoolbell Echos class of '64 scans, I started at page 96 and removed the DOB's;

that was Bruce Hemingway from LaRue Street and he did reply to my query saying he moved away in our freshman year;

and Mandy wrote and reminded me that she is the youngest in the class being a December child

Summer thoughts...

I haven't seen any back-to-school ads yet, and no recent posts at Swaine.com or here for that matter so no idea what's happening with the class of '64 but I just remembered a fellow classmate that might qualify as an honorary '64 alumni. Remember Bruce Hemingway? Big guy, smart too. He was on LaRue St. with Sally and I from about grade 7 or 8 and then must have left the area by grade 10 or so. Will Google him and see what's available there. On Mr. Knepp's home room I mentioned Candy W. and Lawrence Gertner if I have that right and when I talked to Ron Goorhouse a few years ago he mentioned his brother Terry. Lawrence drove that '28 or so Ford hot rod and his sister was in our class for a while too and then something about a fire in California - 61 or 62 maybe...

Going through the JHS yearbook, School Bell Echoes, it says that Skip, Mandy, Ann, Kathy, Judith, Diana, Larry, Roxie, Charlotte, Kay, Donna, Karen Nancy, Sheila, Grace, Cheryl, Bonny and I are the youngest in the class and are next up to turn 60 this year so I hope that more of you stop by to say hello soon. Real soon - as we are not all going to make the 50th reunion. I noticed the comment that was posted about Roger Huckstead and that got me to thinking that an effort will have to be made to get the class online before the obits start being the only posts... it's up to you, some of us are right here and more than willing to say hi.

Be sure to visit Mike at Swaine.com; he and Nancy have started a wine club and you can read about it at summerjo.com/wineclub.html

And on a further note, I have started to scan in the pages from the yearbook of our class photos and will start uploading them this month. I wanted to post a picture of Kathy Grimes as she as well as Roger Huckstead would have been 60 this fall.

Happy New Year 2006

Hi, here is wishing you a happy new year, and hoping more of the Jimtown class of '64 discover and use the weblog. This is my desk and desktop, with reminders of many of the people I am grateful for.

You can post comments or request to become a co-editor and contribute.

Have a safe, healthy and rewarding year, dave
