Berea High School

Larry Froehlich

Any one remember:

Wildwood Lake;
the dances after the football games;
pep rallys on Fridays;
what class you were in when you heard President Kennedy had been shot;
dances at the American Legion Hall;
hanging out on the Triangle;
cherry cokes at Gray's Candy Kitchen;
did any of you paint the wood building in the back of the school;
the park had a curfew and you could get locked in (oops)!

Trish Russell De Cordova

Hi Gang, I have some really funny prom photos that I'll try to upload to the site.

Larry Froehlich

Trish, if you e-mail the prom photos to me, I'll put them on one of the main pages otherwise you'll only be able to put them on your profile file. Sounds like fun! Let me know what you think!

Come on you guys, get busy and make some comments on the great thing Larry did for all of us. It's been a while since the last reunion and it's so nice to catch up with everyone on line. It's winter for most of us and where better to spend some time then on the computer. So good to hear from so many and see what everyone is doing. I've contacted several more and hope they get their info on for us all. Have a great winter and hope for an early spring.

Dick Curtner

Yes, Larry, I definitely remember what class I was in when the loudspeaker announced to all of us of President Kennedy's assassination. I was one of thirty or so classmates in Miss Jefferies' (?) American History class. Anyone remember being in that class? And maybe the correct spelling for our teacher's name?

Patrica Reed Philips

I too thank-you for a wonderful website. I'm having fun reconnecting with people. I remember cherry cokes but preferred the chocolate ones. I remember riding my bike in the park - couldn't do that today. I was in band when I heard about Kennedy. It was a hushed bus ride home that day.

Larry Froehlich

Dick (3 notes up) Miss Jefferis..........I had to look her up in a yearbook! I remember having Mr. Dulmage for History! He was pretty tough as I recall!

When the Kennedy announcement was made I was in Math class. Sure doesn't seem like 45 years ago to me!

Dick Curtner

Miss Jefferis. OK, I was close. I vaguely recall Mr. Dulmage's name but I'm petty sure I was happy to be in her class instead of his! That was an easy question for me: Can you think of a more "appropriate" class to be in than American History?

Something else that was very timely for our class was the Civil War centennial. The War between the States started in summer of 1861 and ended in the spring of 1865. There were lots of Mathew Brady photographs of the Civil War in the National Geographics. And I recall visiting an underground railroad site somewhere back in junior or senior high. The bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth was last Thursday. I think we were lucky to have witnessed both historical landmarks.

Donna Alvarez

Thanks, Dick Curtner, for the Photos in the Supplemental Site. Did you notice all the traffic downtown Berea(1963)? Not like today!

Dick Curtner

Well, Donna, here we are out in New Mexico and only you, Larry and myself played the game. Maybe we need to try something else. Maybe a survey to see who actually reads the messages in the forum.

Change of subject: I watched a little of David Letterman last night and he had ten ideas to fix the economy. One was to sell New Mexico back to Mexico! Might work but I don't think Mexico has the cash. Have you ever met someone who thought New Mexico was still a part of Mexico? I have and they were from Ohio! So maybe this is an idea: Just write about somehing funny to share. And let's see who plays the game.

Donna Alvarez

My coworker was to get computer parts sent thru' UPS when it turned out to be one big mess. After contacting their hub in NY several times, the UPS rep. appologized to him because someone thought NM was another country.
I told a friend in Berea that I was going to NM, and he asked me if I had my passport in order. EE! Ola!?

Dick Curtner

Well, Donna, that's even better than mine! Chances are no one else has the experience of living in a state with this kind of notoriety! Maybe we shouldn't even say that it's the Land of Enchantment. Would they believe it anyway?

Gail Clemence SCHUTZLER

ANyone interested in working toward a 2010 reunion why not get intouch with Lana. It would be fun to network and put something together for our 45th. gail

Larry Froehlich

Donna, you win! It is Sue Winklbauer! Great job! If there are other old pictures out there, please share them with us! Thanks, Larry

Dennis McCafferty

Donna, I see Joan every so often, she lives in Olmsted Township on Adele Ln. When I see her next, I'll let her know your looking for her

Donna Alvarez

Great, Dennis! Thanks. I know you worked with her. I know she's been seen here and there, Democrat arena. I guess it's me who's been gone way too long. I would love to hear from her.

Gail Clemence SCHUTZLER

Thanks guys for the great memory of Danny. I remember him as being quiet around girls but always nice and a great smile. We never think tragedy is going to hit us at that young age. Know it hit everyone hard. Thanks Danny.

Carole Stuart LIPINSKI

Donna, Roberta Siebert is in touch with Mary Ann Neurohr and will let her know you'd like to connect with her.

Donna Alvarez

Thanks Carole. Roberta needs to get her profile up.

Donna Alvarez

Everybody have fun at the picnic! Say 'hi' to my homey, Dick Curtner. Take lots of pictures and everybody smile!

Larry Froehlich

Will do............Donna! Hope you can join us next time!

Gail Clemence SCHUTZLER

Thanks again to Larry, Gerry and Pat. Had a good turn out and seemed like a great time was had by all. It was a beautiful day and a nice location ( the pool looked very inviting but we weren't allowed)!
Pictures were being taken all over so I'm sure some will be on the website.
For those of you who couldn't attend we hope to get the reunion started for next year soon and there is an all Berea High reunion planned for homecoming this fall. Think information will be posted for that.
Larry and Gerry and Pat worked hard for this one so let's all pitch in for our 45th!

Donna Alvarez

Thanks for the picnic pictures. You all look marvelous, dawlings! Looks like you all had a great time. You WERE all SMILING! That must've been a great get together thanks to those who got it going. Great job! Hope to see you in 2010. dja new mexico

Donna Alvarez

Hey Larry...
There's a lot of new folks doing their profiles. Who are these people, anyway? Tell them to join the forum...
Come on you guys, say 'Hi'. I'm not going to go all over the country looking for you!
Hi, Mary Ann! Hi, Judy! How are our two snowbirds doing? What are the odds of running into eachother in the Villages? Incredible!

Larry Froehlich

Donna, I put a reminder on the home page! That should help...........thanks, Larry
