Where has 40 years gone? In my mind, I think I'm still in my late teens, early twenties, but my body tells me otherwise.
How do you get 20 Midpark students out of a pool?

JAMES D RIEKER

Dave - does that mean you have given up pole vaulting?

DAVID A COAD

yep, but still have that daredevil gusto in me.
Answer to first Midpark question: throw in a bar of soap!
Next question, how do you get 20 Midpark students into a swimming pool?

DAVID A COAD

answer to second question-throw in a penny.
What's the difference between a dead squirrel on the road and a dead Midpark graduate on the road?

DAVID A COAD

Answer-there are skid marks in front of the squirrel.

I think one of the teachers was moving from Berea High to Midpark and someone offered him a brown tie to wear with a orange suit. I wonder if that ever happened (he wore an orange suit, not that he wore a brown tie).

I can send you a copy of the senior activities section of the 1968 yearbook in Microsoft Word format if you'd like it. It has all the names of the class members and the list of clubs and sports, etc. they did. Just send me a message through my profile (scroll down to the bottom of the profile).

DANIEL E NISSEN

We now have the 1968 Class Will on the site, as well as a Links page with many other Berea High classes, and some good local history sites.

Anything you have that you'd like to see posted send to me at nissende at msn.com.

Hi you old folks,

I just arrived lasts evening...staying at the Ramamda..I brought my bike and rode around the town this AM. Quite enjoyable. i plan on ordering a Pizza King pizza sometime....that looks like the only restaurant that is still there.

There are lots of places in Berea that have not changed a bit in 40 years and some that are unrecognizable. I went into the new BW Phys. Ed. facility only to find that they built the whole new building around the old fieldhouse and the floor looks the same and the stairs that we used to run look lower and easy to run....once!. I was over in the children's center across Bagley road from Berea High and I was just wondering who may be having a fight on the circle on Saturday AM, maybe Adeboi?? Anyone remember that?

RAYMOND J MARTIN

I tried to get around to chat with everyone, but I missed a few of you, and for that I am sorry.
We were all very fortunate to have grown up in Berea.
Peace and happiness to you and your families,
Ian

ALEXANDRA B BONDS

I was really happy to see all of you who made it to the reunion last weekend. I am still aglow from the energy and excitement of seeing long lost companions who shared the formative years of our lives. How terrific that so many of us became teachers and helped to shape the next generations. Don't believe anything Ray Martin says about me!

JOHN MICHAEL PAYNE

It was great seeing all of you at the reunion. It made me feel how wonderful it was to grow up in a place like Berea. Many of you I knew since elementary school. 40 years ,how time flys!

WILLIAM R LAWRENCE

WOW what a reunion! I know I had a blast, it was great to
see everyone, those I got a chance to vist with, and sorry I missed talking to some of you. It has been much too long, we have a great class. Many thanks to Toni and all that helped her. Someone was passing around a list that we put on our e-mail addresses. Iam sure many of us would like a copy. So please let us know how to access it. Anyone of you passing thru Montana is welcome. Keep in touch. Peace, Love,and God Bless all of you. Bill and Kim Lawrence

Check out the Berea High School class of 66 web page under "links". Go to "The Good Old Days" on the left side of the 66 home page. There are numerous pictures of 68 classmates from Aquateens routine. Also some other pictures as well.

LINDA E PRUCHA

Hi,
I wasn't able to attend the reunion but I have enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading everyone's bios.

I have been working at the Ohio Public Defender's Office as an attorney in the death penalty division (not as grim as it sounds) for several years. Last year Cathy Wilder joined our staff as an attorney. I see that she is in the Fairwood 5th grade picture, although she moved away from Berea before we started high school. Sadly she passed away from cancer in January. I thought I would let those of you who might remember her from grade school know.

Best wishes to everyone for a nice holiday season.

DELMA J DORE BECK

Hello Everyone..hope all is well. Spring is coming, along with the rain..we in Findlay are experiencing flooding again. Thank goodness I do not live near the Blanchard River. I welcomed a new grandchild to my family on Feb 24, 2009...a little boy, Ari Edward. All are doing fine and Grammi Delma is thrilled.

My best to everyone.

GRANT T NOBLE

If you're in the Cleveland area, you probably saw the publicity this week regarding Berea Schools. They're tearing down Fairwood School to make way for a new elementary school. If anyone is interested, there will be bricks available on a forthcoming saturday. I will advise as soon as I know the date.

BRUCE A LANGNER

Grant, I heard about that several weeks ago so last time I was in Berea I drove by just to relive some memories. So sad.

Kathleen Gregg Beckman

To Grant:
Fairwood bricks will be available this Saturday, September 5 from 8:00 AM to noon as long as the supply lasts. This will be the last chance for bricks as the building is totally gone. Kathy Gregg Beckman
