Thanks for posting that great picture. I presume that was the big snow storm of 1950? It looks like the picture was taken from the upper floor of central fire station looking north to the foot of St. Clair Ave. The gas station on the corner hadn’t been built yet.
I remember seeing the National Guard out clearing the streets with tanks & road graders during that big snow. It looks a lot like what I see out my window right now. We had anywhere from 18 to 24 inches of snow Saturday. Thankfully, my neighbor has a snow blower & we’ve cleared our driveways & sidewalks, but it’s going to take a while for the area to dig out of this one.
May you & your loved ones enjoy a blessed and joyous Christmas this year and a very happy and prosperous new year!
As for me, I’m heading to Egypt right after Christmas. We’ve always wanted to see the pyramids, so this is the year. It’s our 40th anniversary trip.
After Egypt we’ll come back to Virginia & pack up the motor home then head west. We’re going to spend about six weeks on the road this winter, mostly in Mesa, AZ. Hopefully, we won’t have to contend with any snow out there!
Thanks so much for all the work you do to keep ELHS ’65 together again & always.
Peace & Love & Happiness always,
Jim
Barely a week goes by when someone from our past does not, say or do something nice. Yesterday, that someone was Karen Gamble. You are just a click away from seeing what she did
I will post this picture on our Facebook Page. If you would like a copy, please e-mail me, and I will contact Karen, if you would like to have a copy.
See you soon,

Tony Danzo
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes had a familiar fragrance, . . . a Chardonnay???.
Nary a bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
But he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a bright, red cherry!
His little mouth was drawn up . . . from the Sherry?
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a cork he held tight in his teeth,
And the aroma of wine encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He listen to many a request from those who sat on his on lap,
And smoothed their stockings, all the while with a little smirk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
Many thanks to Marianne Emmerling's husband Ron for surprising the kids in all of us with the jolly, old guy. . . and for playing Santa.
Although our February dinner is scheduled for the ELO Motor Lodge, we may have something of adventure instead. We may have the opportunity to have dinner at a place where our present will meet our past as well as giving us a glimpse of our future!!! . . . and bring a lot of smiles to some folks!!!
Our January dinner will be at Casa de Emanuel in ELO
on January 17. We will meet at 6:00 PM, dinner will be served at 6:30
PM.
Stay safe - - hope to see you soon,
John
John Stephens (May 17, 2008) Hey y'all,
Our May dinner/trip/sleepover to Ohio's Holmes County was GREAT!!! Fourteen brave souls met at Simply Smuckers near Orrville before venturing out to a couple of cheese factories, a GIANT flea market, a couple of wineries, a dinner of Austrian cuisine then finally a sleepover at winderful mitel in the heart of Berlin Ohio.
Check the left hand column for our upcoming dinner dates. They are a lot of fun!!!
See you soon,
John
Van Pinkerton (March 1, 2008) John,
I still stand ready to join you in Reno. If I drive up, there would be room in my car for 1 couple (we could switch off, etc) to drive down the coast. Keep me updated. If nothing changes, we would join you. Jan and I just did the coast trip up to Monterey (and then up to Oakland for a wedding) last June, and it was great.
Van
The trip Van is referring to is the ELHS 65 2009 Road Trip which may be viewed at the Road Trip website. Look under "Major" in the "2009" column.(js)
John Stephens (February 17, 2008) Twenty-six folks including classmates and some spouses met last night for our monthly dinner. The food was very good, but as always the company was wonderful. We had several hours of sharing family updates, retelling old stories, remembering classmates and friends who have passed on, and/or who we have not seen much these days. Most of all there was much laughter among good friends, old friends and new friends.
Please mark your calendars for the April and May get-togethers. They too are a deviation from our "normal" get-togethers. Each also provides opportunities to combine, shopping, wine tasting, dinner and a sleep over.If you have the chance, please join us. In the two years we have been having these get-togethers and occasional road trips, each get-together has been better than the last!
Our March 15th get-together will be a slight departure from the norm. Having heard folks from home talk about a restaurant in Niles coupled with our next dinner date - the "Ides of March", and since we are in the midst of politicking which is reflective of Brutus & Caesar, it seemed a perfect opportunity to visit an Italian restaurant. Some of the "girls" from our class took this opportunity to remind me that there is an "awesome (??)" mall - just down the street.
Given how everything just seemed to fall together, those folks who are interested will meet at 3:00 PM at the Food Court. The girls will devise "gathering" opportunities, while the men guard the portals of the mall - - - and do what men do. We will meet at 5:45 PM at Alberinis Restaurant - - which is "just down the road". There is a map, menus, prices and more information at the Alberinis' web site. The following link will take you to the Eastwood Mall Web site. Once there, please locate the Food Court area next to Macy's. Mall map - - - Mall Web site
See you soon,

Jim Purton (February 17, 2008) I'm using the jimpurton@yahoo.com e-mail address all the time now. The old one still works, but it forwards everything to the yahoo address.
Thanks for all your work to keep us in touch.
Just returned from 8 week trip in the RV to Florida. It was a great trip this year, although we cut it shorter than normal so we could go to NYC for the great Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which was fabulous. My favorite breed, the beagle, won, as you may have heard.
We rode the Amtrak train to NYC from Virginia - it's a great way to avoid the hassles of driving & paying the high parking fees in the city. Plus, you don't really need a car in New York, the subway is fantastic.
We're getting settled at home again & enjoying the early signs of spring - Robins in the yard, longer daylight & warmer temperatures. It won't be long till the leaves begin to show up on the trees.
Take care & keep up the good work.
Jim
From Terry Calhoun & John Stephens (Jan 2, 2008) Terry Calhoon has created an ELHS site. He has invited all of us, as well as anyone who has ever attended ELHS to visit and join the site.
The address is http://elhsgrads.ning.com – Terry has offered me the opportunity to co-administer the site with him.
According to Terry,
. . . this is new social networking functionality, think of it as a "Niche" Facebook or MySpace. I love it! It's a real step forward for user-generated sharing and connecting. I have created some family sites with it, and also a couple of commercial sites, the most active of which is http://www.discgolfersR.us, which has nearly 1,200 users in less than 2 weeks.
It would let the folks you register for it (free) share wall posts, messages, photos, videos, blog posts, and a whole lot more. I think it would be a real boost to the ELHS alumni community. I have already created a group within it for '65 grads.
Registration takes about 5 minutes. I have already registered. The site holds real potential to allow each of us to post items, blog, talk on line.
Please take a look at the site. If you have the time let’s all register and give it a test drive.
Many thanks to Terry for including us.
See you soon,
John
From Jeff Reed (December 28, 2007)
Hi John
Looks like a fun trip ('08 Road Trips). I don't know if Kathy and I will make that one but we are retiring June 27th. We have great hopes of joining you on some of your trips. As soon as we can sell our house we will be moving to Hot Springs, Arkansas so we won't be too far away. 116 more working days but whose counting.....
Jeff
From Greg Talbott (August 27, 2007)
We have been gone most of the summer with little trips here and there and now we're be home for awhile. Lynne (Goodman) goes back to school Wednesday. She works for food service in the Westerville schools. Only until Dec. 31st and then she will retire then. I been retired now almost five years. So that means next year we will probably be on the road a whole lot more. Lot of place we want to see and things to do.
Thanks again.
Greg
From Jeff Pletcherr (August 27, 2007) (I asked jeff what they had been doing recently. js) John,
We are still living in Colorado, Denver suburbs. Two kids, only one married and no grandkids. I took early retirement and am busier than I was when I was working.
A couple weeks ago, we were in the Virginia tidewater area, and visited with Charlie Jones from our class, and his wife Cathy (Stanley), class of '67. Charlie and I grew up together on Ogden Street. Cathy took a picture, I think they were going to email it to you.
Thanks for all you do in keeping everyone connected!
Jeff
Great people, lots of rain, weenie roast & potato salad (May 29, 2007)
Hey y’all,
Hope your Memorial Day went well. No matter our position on war, we must always honor and support those who, no matter the reason, put their lives on the line for each of us.
This past Saturday some of us got together for a weenie roast at our campsite at the Lock 30 Campground. We had a great time sharing stories of grandkids, kids, the “ole” days, and immediate futures. One of the best parts was the when were all driven indoors by a torrential down (sideways) storm. It was like we were all 10 years old packed in to a “club house” - - - of course folks from the “other” gender were with us. That would have never happened then, but it was great!!! We will schedule another one soon.
Our July 14th dinner
will be held at Beaver Creek State Park . It is a scheduled as a BYOE Family Picnic + something to share. Start time is 2:00 PM. I will get there early to find the best suitable place for us. Any and all family members are welcome - -see you then.As you know there is ELHS ‘65 Roadtrip departing on June 24 ( http://www.angelfire.com/wv/joyrde/gettysburg/gettysburgroadtrip.html ). I will be making final reservations in the next day or two. If you would like to join us, please let me know right away.
I have been thinking of a 2008 Roadtrip. In a nutshell, we are having such a great time on our monthly winery trips that I am thinking of a late-June 2008 Roadtrip which would take us from winery to winery. I am thinking 200 - 250 miles a day. Stay at lodgings close to a local winery, where we will eat dinner each evening. Here’s first look ( http://www.wineweb.com/map_NY.html ). Given the price of gas - - and I have noticed a couple of us have either a van, SUV or larger vehicle, I thought we could car/van pool.
Great people, old cars, awesome wine and a wonderful time (May 19, 2007)
Hey y’all,
Yesterday, Saturday May 19, was another GREAT time with the traveling ELHS 65 dinner folks. Many of us explored the Hartville area - - flea markets, old hardware stores, candy stores - - - some of us even saw a “Caber Toss”, guys in kilts, girls ,dancing a “jig” and listened bagpipe music. Be sure and ask Butch what his favorite activity was :)
We met at the winery at 5:00 PM where we recounted a lot of great stories of the day, had some really good sandwiches and some awesome wine. My personal favorite was the Redneck Red!!!
Our next get-together is on June 16th at the Mastropietro Winery in Berlin Center at 4:30. For the menu, wine selections, map and directions, please visit - Mastropietro Winery .
If you have not joined us please consider doing so. These get togethers are very laid back, mellow friendly and most of all there is a loving/nurturing atmosphere which seems to have emerged.
I will be asking for conformations later in the month.
On July 14th we will have a family picnic at Beaver Creek State Park (Beaver Creek) I will try to get there early to “stake out” an area close to the attractions and creek. This picnic is open to all of your parents, kids, grand kids, etc. it is also a BYOE (everything) and something to share. I would assume that alcoholic beverages are not permitted????
Our August 18th get-together is a picnic at Geneva-on-the-Lake. Given the distance we will meet at 2:00 PM at the park on the north side of town (specifics to follow). This event was well attended last year and was a really GREAT time. Since this winery is 90 miles from my house, Eileen and I will be staying over (same as last year). Marianne took us to a great family restaurant for breakfast!!! We are going to try to get reservations at - - King Arthur’s Court. Take a few minutes to visit this link Geneva-on-the-Lake info .
GREAT NEWS ?!?!?!? - there is a flea market and craft show that day!!!
There are 6 wineries with 30 – 40 minutes of Geneva-on-the Lake.
Hope to see you soon,
John

. . . .Wolfman Jack and a Prom (GREAT IDEA!!! ) (May 13, 2007)
Hey John,Have not heard from ya for a while. How are ya. All is well here.
. . . . I thought about something. For the next reunion, why don't we have a prom (or a sock hop??? js). I could put together so many songs from that era and even take requests and get them off napster if they are available. I could record the dedication ahead of the songs that the class asks for and we
I was listening to Wolfie yestrday and he played Sandy by Ronnie and the Daytonas. They sound a whole lot like the Beach Boys and this was a favorite song so I got it off Napster subscription. Then I listened to a bunch of others and ran across Those Teenage Years. This would be a great song to put on the website. It brought tears to my eyes and memories of the dances at the Memorial Auditorium.
Enjoy
Sprague defeats Woomer for EL City Auditor (May 4, 2007)
By REBEKAH POTTER (rpotter@reviewonline.com)EAST LIVERPOOL — In yesterday’s Democratic primary, challenger Terry Sprague defeated incumbent Kim Woomer (Bob's wife) 319 to 295, a margin of only 24 votes, according to unofficial results.
Sprague said she plans to make changes in how the city’s auditing is done by doing more than merely accounting. “I think that when the accounting is taken care of and in place there’ll be time to do other things to benefit the city,” she said.
When asked what she would like to see changed about the auditor’s office, she said, “It’s hard for me to answer that, because I’m not on the inside looking out, I’m on the outside looking in,” but added, “I’d like to see a spirit of cooperation.”
Sprague wished to thank Delores Satow, Leah and Marilyn Bosco, Ron Simmons, Paula Davenport, and Cliff Taylor for helping her and contributing to her success. “It’s nice to know that people believe in you that strongly,” she said.
Kim Woomer said she was “very disappointed.” She commented on the election results, “Well, I guess the voters just spoke ... they have an unexperienced auditor rather than and experienced auditor, but I wish her the best of luck,” she said.
From John "Beulah" Stephens (April 22, 2007)
Hey y’all,As many of you know, our ELHS 65 page has not been updated much over the past 3 years. Good news (???) – the time has come for the position I held at school to be turned over to the next Teacher Leader. I will be going back to the classroom full-time (American & World History)
I should be able to spend more time on our website - - so please send me your news, digital pictures, etc.
If you are on my class e-mailing you know of the monthly get-togethers we have been having. The most recent was yesterday near Roscoe Village. We visited a couple of wineries, had a great lunch and an awesome dinner!!!
Our next scheduled get-together should be simply amaizing!!! Please join us at the Maize Winery in Hartville, Ohio. To checkout the details, please click on “ELHS 65 Dinner Dates '06-'07” in the link column on the left of this page. If you think you may join us, please let me know so I can give the winery a guesstimation head count.
There was a conversation this past weekend about visiting Amish Country (Holmes County) as a group sometime in the coming months. Watch for information about this ELHS 65 happening. If this interests you, please send me some dates, which work for you.
These monthly get-togethers are very loosely structured and informal. Although there is a core group of folks who can attend most of the dates, we always have classmates join us as time and other commitments permits. Please consider joining us. They are truly GREAT times!!!
See you soon,
John
From Charlie Jones (February 4, 2007)
Good morning John,
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.
I don't have an ELO address. My brother Bill still lives in ELO. I'm sure you know him. He's a big supporter of the Elks. Cathy (Stanley) '67 and I were married in 1967 and have lived away from ELO since. I retired from the US Navy as a Chief Storekeeper in 1987.Cathy followed me for 20 years and now I follow her as she's transferred. Cathy is presently the manager of the Fort Eustis Post Exchange in Newport News, Virginia. She works for the Army & Air Force Exchange System. Last year Cathy spent 7 months in Iraq as General Manager of the Bagdad area exchanges. She had 7 exchanges she flew around too in a Black Hawk helicopter. Cathy said caring for the troops there was the highlight of her career. Really proud of her volunteering to go. I work for Oceaneering International, a government contractor, at Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. We have two sons; both RN's.
We just moved Cathy's father from Chester to live with us in August. Cathy's mother died 15 years ago today and her stepmother passed away in March of '06. Ralph was having a difficult time by himself. I think the hardest part for him is adjusting to a new area and making new friends. He really misses his friends from ELO/Chester. Anyway, Cathy and I are planning to retire in 2009 and move back to ELO area then.
Let me know how you've been John. Hope to see you soon.
Charlie & Cathy Jones
Hampton, Va.From Kristie Whitaker (February 3, 2007)
(I asked her what she has been up to and that I knew enough German to order beer and ice cream. js)Well, I'm retired from the state of Ohio.
I work two part time jobs. One, I work for a psychologist doing IQ and memory testing and the second I am an intermittent(fill in for sick and vacation time) at the Ohio Department of Health.
My son is stationed in Germany, when they don't have him in Iraq. So, I have been to Germany a couple of times recently. I can get coffee and cake also. I can manage the train system without too many mistakes. Fortunately, they mostly speak English so getting around is pretty easy. I can tell some of what I am getting on menus--I might know I am getting potatoes or apples--it's just a surprise as to how they are done.
The international language of pointing works well, also.
Et tu?

From Jeff Reed (February 3, 2007)
Things are pretty good. The boat is great. Kathy ('66) is good. We're looking to retire and move to Hot Springs, Arkansas by the summer of 2008. Maybe when we're closer we'll get to make one of the reunions. How's things your way?
JeffFrom Melissa Dunbar - Larry Siderich's daughter (December 31, 2006)
Editor's note - I am sure it will touch each of you as it has me.Hello . . . I am Larry's daughter Melissa . . . I think this website is beautiful!
My dad meant the world to me I was Daddy's little girl! My brother Scott,and I didn't hurt for anything, we would say thank-you,and he would say don't say thank-you that is my job, so at his funeral they played That's my job by Conway Twitty and it just fit him. My dad's song to me was "Never be One" by Alabama,he used to sing it to me all the time,we grew up with a jukebox in our house! I can't even hear the song because it really upsets me.
I recently got married and knew he was there watching over me. My brother walked me down the aisle, he said well dad isn't physically here to do his duties so it is my job to do my best! He really did do what a father should do!
My email I read is melissadebnar@yahoo.com please email me back I would love to hear from you, I will also sometime send a picture of my brother to you,he is the spitting image of my dad,I hug him and it feels like I am hugging my daddy!
Thank you,

Great pictures John, thanks for sharing them. Looks like a good time was had by all....sorry I missed it. My love to all and have a great end to the summer.

John,
Please post this to let everyone know how much we enjoyed the reunion. Thanks to all who went the extra mile to make it happen. It was great to see old friends again. We had a great time and would like to have stayed longer but had to be on the road by " 0 dark thirty " . Again , thanks for all you do to keep the class together.
Later dude, BruceFrom Jim Purton (August 16, 2005)
Hi,
We're sending this out to lots of people, so it's not personalized. Michele & I are so proud of what a great working dog Mercer turned out to be.
Here's a link to the story that ran in yesterday's USA Today about him: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-08-14-canine-companions_x.htm
We hope you enjoy reading about this wonderful organization and how it changes people's lives.
Please pass this along,
Jim & Michele PurtonFrom June Rinner {BLHS] (December 20, 2004)
Thanks for the e-mail and the pictures. I really like looking at them and I share them with people in my office who seem to "LOVE" the images the pictures represent. You have a picture that is titled "elopanarama1", I've made that my desktop background.Your newest picture of 1st Church of the Naz in the back was...ahhhhh, the memories. I grew up in that church!
Your pictures make me long for a visit. I'm trying to talk my children out of our Mecca to Disney World next year and instead, I've promised them 2 16 hour car rides, Cedar Point and Thompson Park!!! Needless to say, they're hard to convince. Now, from what I understand Sea World and that other amusement park that shared the lake are not there any more?.... Or have they changed names?? Is it still a Sea World? I might be able to convince the kids to give in if it means more than 1 amusement park in a week! There's always Kings Island if it's still there.
I've checked out the website for Mountaineer Park (or whatever it's called now), and it's amazing to see how different it looks with the added facilities!
- From Bernadette Geon-Herkner'65 (December 20, 2004)
John, Thank you for the update with the pictures. Up here in Michigan we probably won't see the ground again until spring as you know. I hope you are doing well. May you and your family have a very Blessed and Happy Holiday Season. Bernie Herkner Bernadette Geon-'65- From Jane Abrams(December 20, 2004)
John,Merry Christmas to you and your family. Wow, those pictures really made me feel homesick! They are beautiful and I really enjoyed them.......even showed them to some friends who were here for dinner last night. We are flying out this afternoon to be with our daughter, son-in-law, and the best part.......grandkids for the Holiday.
Sad news about Bob Ash....we will certainly keep him in our prayers.
Take care and God Bless,

From June Rinner (Beaver Local) (October 22, 2004)
John -
You did a WONDERFUL job on the website w/ pictures of East Liverpool and the surrounding area. I left "home" in 1991, and although I did make it home quite a bit at first, in the last 10 years I've only been home once. Thanks for bringing a little bit of "home" to my day here in Omaha, Nebraska!June
From Danny Corsello(September17, 2004)
John -John: Just thought I'd update you with photos of my little 4 year old "Ballerina" !!!!! P.S I wasn't able to attend the 2004 Reunion but my Shelby Mustang WILL be completed by the next reunion which is planned for ??????????????? (please advise)
Thanks,
Danny.
From Jane Abrams(September 22, 2004)
John -(In response to me asking "How's things"?). . . . Things have been great, but busy. Manuel and I started a new business with a friend from Nashville........the justmemusic, you can check out the website at www.justmemusic.com
I changed email addresses and sort of fell off of everyone's list. I had not accessed the website in over a year. It was great to get back on there. I really wanted to make the reunion, but the timing was bad. What's on for next year, the big 40?
We are looking at a buy-out for the new company and if that goes through we will probably stop working....at least for awhile. Anyway, we will have more time to travel other than business related.
You look great! (sweet talker!!) Have you lost weight? Hope the new position is good for you and that your health, and family are all good.
Take care, God Bless,
Jane
From Mary Humphrey(September 12, 2004)
John -(Following is Mary’s response to our last e-mail - - Sounds as though she is & has been having a GREAT time!!!) What have I been doing all these years ? Well, I was employed at a government defense plant in Florida for many, many years and when they closed they retired those of us that had enough years in to retire. That was nearly 15 years ago, and fortunately my husband who was project engineer at the plant was also retiring.
So we decided to travel and we traveled all over this country and several foreign countries. We have lived in Idaho, Nevada, Alaska, California, Montana, Oregon Coast (beautiful), & several other states, also the Bahamas, United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, and a few other places. When we traveled we didn't just go for a few days to visit the area, but stayed for awhile and made friends and got to know the area.
My husband took me to Amsterdam and Paris for the sole purpose of viewing Van Gogh's paintings because he knew Van Gogh is the artist of that period that I most admire. So I have been around and at this time am getting ready to move again.

From Susan McMillan-Hall(August 11, 2004)
As usual it's all in the memories.
Thank you so much for the pictures.Our trip was rather at the moment. Really had no idea it would happen till we were in the car and checking into the Mountaineer. Had my husband Jeff Hall on his fist trip ever to East Liverpool. I wasn't with the class much. I wanted to show him a good time. Make certain he ate the donuts. Saw the brick streets. Went into all the rowdy bars. Saw a couple horse races. Meet some of my friends and old neighbors. How we were able to accomplish all that in three days was very much working it. Even went to St. Al's Sunday and just had a wonderful time.
Missed the parade but did have room service and champagne that morning. Regrets!
I like the picture you showed of me. Perhaps my best asset. I love to have fun and the weekend was a blast. What no pictures of my partner in crime Tom Leon and what about our other host Sue Leon (lost in the meltdown [js]). Glad I wasn't the photographer. Kill the messenger.
Thanks for the memories. You're the coolest. (swet-talker)
Keep Black Mountain on your map.

From John Stephens(August 8, 2004)
As you know, I normally either do not post personal e-mails or I edit the personal parts out. I am breaking my rule to post the following from Barbara Brown - Bob Ash's sister-in-law. As you know Bob has been battling leukemia for many years. Although in remission, just before the reunion the leukemia returned "with a vengence".Bob's has only two choices, one _______ & two, go to Houston for experemential treatment. He chose the later. Barb has been keeping me current - - here is the latest Bob-update.
John,
Bob is still in Houston in the experimental drug trial. He did respond amazingly well, so well it almost killed him! There is a possibility that he will be able to come home in a few weeks and have his blood tests done here twice a week. He will have to return to Houston once a month, at the very least. He is in remission currently and we still pray for a complete cure.The drug company and the doctor did allow as how his immediate response was so dramatic that it couldn't have been the medicine alone- no medicine is that good. That leaves divine intervention!!!
For the moment he is living in an apartment and will be on his own after next Saturday when Marge returns to go to school. Keep those cards and letters comin'.

From Sandra Rowley(August 6, 2004)
John:
Thank you so much for the pictures of class of '65. I grew up in East Liverpool till I was 16. I then moved to California with my family. These pictures was a wonderful walk down memory lane for me. I still have family there and I am going to try to come back sometime this year. I haven't been back since I was 18. One of my dear friends was Sherry Lapham and I was pleased to see her picture.

Dear John,I didn't get my shirt!! I was going to walk back up to the Oasis on Friday evening about 10:00 but thought it would be a worthless endeavor.......fooled me.
It was great to see so many people I hadn't seen for so many years. . . . . .
Late in the game I made reservations for the class dinner and was really looking forward to seeing so many "familiar strangers" after all these years. Don had taken his parents to Indiana (they were here from Florida) for a few days and didn't get into Boardman until about 6:30. By the time we returned the party was over. I was really looking forward to making contact again.
Thanks for the web postings, the pics, and news about our class . . . .
Thanks again,
Paula

Hey Beulah,Thanks for posting so many great pictures from the reunion. There sure are a lot of young looking people in our class. Must be the water, huh?
It sounds like your trip out west was a lot of fun. When will we see some pics from that trip?
Keep up the good work,
Jim

Dear Fred,I don’t know if you remember me but we went to school together in East Liverpool until I moved to California in 1962. My name then was Sandra Rowley and I lived on Densmore Ave. I was on searching “google” and happened upon the East Liverpool High School alumni list and your name popped out at me.
I know it is really hard to believe we are all in our 50’s now and many of us are grandparents. I have two daughters, but I am not a grandma yet. I hope life has been good to you and your family. Do you have any children and are you a grandfather yet?
I am trying to find Lewie Morris, I am sure you remember him. If you know anything or anyone who might know of his whereabouts please let me know. Lewie always had a special place in my heart and lately I have been thinking about him. I know about what happened to his wife and children and then I lost all contact with him. If you can get in touch with him please feel free to give him my E-mail address (crosmihart@hotmail.com). I would really love to hear from him, you and anyone else that I grew up with back in Ohio. Just a little bit of history on me. I was married at 18 and had 2 daughters. I was married for 29 years before we divorced and have been single now for almost 10 years. Please answer if you get the chance I would love to hear from you!

From Bonnie Walker(August 4, 2004)
Dear John,Hope everyone had a great time at the reunion, sure missed seeing everyone!!! Sounds as though your family had a wonderful vacation, good for you. Terry must have loved entertaining all. (Your) Next stop should be Florida.
I tried to bring up the pictures using the email and couldn't make it happen, hope I had the correct address.
Thanks to you and yours for all the hard work you put forth for the benefit of all of us, on behalf of all of "us" thanks.
Bonnie Walker, best regards to all

John,
I spoke with Bonnie today. She has moved from Pittsburgh to Florida! She won't be in for the reunion due to work commitments. I know she will be missed - big time!
Her e-mail address is: BKWALKER777@AOL.COM (not sure if all upper or lower case).
Terry SpagueFrom Cindy Jackson (May 17, 2004)
Dear John,
Our email address has changed from gcd2345@bitstorm.net to gcdcampers@aol.com. Have not been on line for over 2 years. We are retired and are full time campers. We spend our winters in Florida and our summers in East Liverpool. My mother remains in a nursing home in East Liverpool and this gives us the ability to be close to her. We enjoy spending time with our family and friends here.
Hope to see a lot of old friends at the reunion.
