Hi Larry
Fantastic job with the web site!
I really appreciate what you have done in putting this together and staying with it.
I check back frequently because some of my fondest memories are right here.
I'm having trouble finding a photo to send to you - that is, one that doesn't look like it's 20-30 years old or one that doesn't make me look like I'm 50-60 years old.
Possibly, I am not the only one with this dilemma.

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)!

Gene Berg ('67)

I remember most all that stuff!

In reply to Joann above...I was at the 40th Class Reunion...I was struck by the fact that the women of our class are all timeless and beautiful.....( oops... must we be politically correct even here?)Suggest that you send a recent photo....John Goodworth

Thanks to Larry and Gerry for planning a great get together on March 7. Meeting once or twice a year is a wonderful idea--lets us catch up with our classmates and meet alumni from other classes. Of course, there is always the "it's a small world" factor when we realize that our paths have crossed more times then we ever knew. Keep up the good work.

What a nice get-together with all "the guys' on Sunday! Looking forward to the picnic in July -- hope to see lots and lots of BHS alumnae from the 60's!! Thanks, Larry, for all that you are doing for us!

Hi Larry,
This is a fantastic website! Don't know why I haven't responded sooner. The pictures from the July 26 event were great and I wish I could have been there. Just like Joann Hemphill, I'm also looking for a decent picture.

Larry Froehlich

Marsha, glad you logged on and are enjoying the web site. Let me know if you have any suggestions or items to add......other than that picture you're looking for!!

Thanks for the web page Larry, It sure brings back the Good old Days. Berea will always be "HOME" When I can retire I'd like to move back to Ohio. My kid sister still lives back there in Brunswick. The folks are buried there and as I said its home for me. my roots are there. People are friendlier there. Hope you and everyone are doing well. Next time you all get together have a beer on me.
