Hey Ted: Glad to hear your back surgery went well and hope you will be up and kicking again soon. (Clark Wonderland advised he saw the message on FACEBOOK, which I don't have and wouldn't have.) It is hard anymore to find someone from our class that hasn't had some kind of surgery lately so now you can scratch that off your "bucket list"! Our prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.

Great message to all regarding the close bond we enjoy as a Class. You are right everybody should get on the horn and contact 3 or more classmates to say hello, catch up and encourage attendance at the 55th. Never too early to keep our class reunion record attendance in tact. Thaks for your leadership and your dedication to the Class Web-Site

Hi guys.  Anyone have pictures of the 1965 Pershing Rifle Drill team?  Either video or pics.

To Rich Perry

Contact Ed Farrell. He has all things Pershing Rifles. I would be surprised if he does not have what you are looking for. 

D. Clark Wonderland

Well, how's everybody doing getting in touch with your "long lost Classmates"?

D. Clark Wonderland

My Grand Kids aren't around to show me, so I'm going to have to retype ED Farrell's message to us all>  I know Ed's way ahead of us all keeping in touch.  Here Goes:

and I Quote:"  Had lunch with John Hoke, Joe nGarcia, Jac Brower and a surprise guest Mr. Andy Patten.  It was a joy to see Andy and how much better he looks.  Also Jac Brower and how much weight he has lost.  Joe and John both looke great and John is doing much better with the leg problems!  As usual we forgot to take pictures damn it!  (probably the adult beverages consumed had something to do with it, (My addition).  But I assure you the next lunch we will take pictures (we'll see).  

Thinking of doing a lunch in Eastern PA in the spring and see if we can get some of the Classmates to come South and Northnas well as East and West to help make it happen.  So to all look at a map and see if you would be willing to make a lunch with Classmates in Eastern PA?  We raise a glass (ergo the picture problem) to all our Classmates who have gone before us, and remember them witha smile!  Please remember to reach out to some Classmates that live far from you just to say hello and catch up for a few minutes, believe me you will be glad you did !!!  Be Well all of you and stay in touch with one another!!!  (Ed added a lot of emogies but the site won't take emogies so use your imagination.

HEY CLASSMATES!!!

WHILE YOUR SITTING AT HOME, YOUR "HONEYDO" JOBS ARE DONE (AT LEAST THE INITIAL LIST), YOUR GOING STIR CRAZY, WHY DON'T YOU PICK UP THE PHONE AGAIN AND CALL A CLASSMATE!

THE REUNION IS COMING IN (MOST LIKELY) OCT. 2021 AND IT'S TIME TO START MAKING PLANS TO BE THERE !!!  

Edward F. Jr. Farrell

To all of my Classmates, I hope of you enjoyed the Holiday that just passed!  I have been in touch with some of our Classmates on the West Coast.  We are all stuck in the same situation, so taken5 minutes and reach out a talk to a Classmate that does not live close by!  You may find the conversation to be up lifting and funny!  Some of our memories are worthwhile just to talk about.  Let us know who you called and who they have talked to also.  The 55th Reunion is coming faster than you think.  Please make plans to attend, just seeing your Classmated will make the trip worthwhile.  Come and laugh with us and tell the stories that you remember, some of us may have forgotten and will enjoy talking about it!  In these trying times be safe and take care of your Families!  If this clears up we are going to meet in Eastern PA some time, hopefully in the Spring.  My prayers are with you all!  God Bless and May He take care of all of you.  Yours in 1966.

Hey Guys: Good suggestion from Clark & Ed about getting in touch with Classmates. Unfortunately I reached out to three last month and have not heard back from them. Not to be dismayed I will try three more this month and the next month and so on. With Eddie's comment about funny stories from the past, do you remember when we were rooks subject to inspection at either a bracing party or in formation someone was always told to  " Get a Haircut "!!! With all the barber shops and beauty shops closed because of the Coronavirus no one can get a haircut except for one person in our class...that's right Symolon!!! At this rate we will all be wearing ponytails for the 55th Reunion. Of course we might be able to convince Col. Bill to grow his hair in solidarity!!!. Got to see pictures of that!. Happy Sunday! Stay safe, my brothers. You are and always will be the Best Class  PMC '66!  

Charles L. Eichenberg, Jr

Where do you find the phone numbers for our classmates? I would certainly call them.

Hi Everyone, All is well in S Fl. Even with the lockdown everyone in our neighborhood still gets out for their morning walks. There are no reported cases of 45virus in our immediate area but Palm Beach county is a high risk area do to the average age. Of course the county is bigger than Rhode Island with more people so it is really tough to gauge on that dimension.Sorry to hear your cruise was cancelled. Mine was also. Maybe next year I will look for your plans and try to make it then. 55 yrs coming up so please keep me informed of dates, tiems et cetera. so we can get together then.

George W. Graner

Hello All.  Charlotte County, Fl is mostly rural and on the gulf.  We are staying at home or in the boat.  There are no cases in Placida, Fl.  Mary has me doing projescts I have acoided for several years.  As this hopefully passes, we will begin or drive to our home in Maine on May 15.  Keep Safe

To All the Members of the Best Class PMC 1966

Wishing you a Blessed Memorial Day with a quote by General George S. Patton, Jr.from a Memorial Day many years ago during World War II. "It is foolish & wrong to mourn the men & (women) who died. Rather we should thank God that such men & (women) lived". My father was one of the men he was refering to. I thank God everyday for his bravery and courage. We should all stop for a moment especially this weekend, thank God for all His Blessing and despite the current situation effecting the world with COVID-19, appreciate that we live in the Best Country in the World and know that He will see us through because the current breed of America's heroes. Be well & safe.

So sorry to hear about the passing of another of our dear classmates Ed Taddeo. I first met Ed when we were classmates and played football together at Norwich University in Vermont in 1961.  His love of family and devotion to his wife Kathy during her long illness were well documented and gives true meaning to the word "love"! He had a great career at Kodak and never really lived far from his roots in Rochester except for the time he spent with us in Pennsylvania  and the one year in Vermont. He was always fun to be around and always supportive of our class and his fraternity, Theta Chi. I for one and going to miss him a lot, but I am sure Kathy is happy to have him home again in heaven. God bless you, Ed!

Best to your successful surgery tomorrow.  May your Doctors have clarity and precision as they give you the best care possible.  Recover easily and effortlessly.

A Classmate Needs our Prayers!!!

Ed Farrell left me a message that Joe Kielb has been put in Hospice Care.  Please Pray for the Lord to put His hand on Joe and his family.  The Lord give Joe comfort, peace and healing.  The Lord give Joe's family Comfort, Peace and Hope.  Read Ephesians 3:20-21,  Our Lord is an awesome God and He Rules over Heaven and Earth.  We must Pray Believing God is in Control and Believing God is Capable of ANYTHING!  

Col. Bill Usmc (Ret. ) Symolon

Joe was a Horse in school.  Strong and powerful.  God help him and give his strength back.  Semper Fi.  

Paul J. Stein

Sorry to hear about Joe. I wish him well.

We were roommates our sophmore year. We were most compatable and became fraternity brothers when he joined TKE. Great guy.

Paul

John J. Lynch

So sorry to hear about Joe entering hospice! May the Lord be merciful and give Joe & his family the strength to endure this difficult situation. Remembering all the good memories of our great classmate and friend. We pray that God's grace will shine through and that Joe will be comforted by knowing He is with him.
