Thanks for posting birthday greetings.

For those who are mathematicaly inclinded, I received a card telling me that 80 years = 29,219 days = 42,075,936 minutes.  Keep on keping on!

Jerry Rees and other 1961 graduates I just renewed our website for another three years! I'm considering a ONE DAY  reunion on a Saturday with a meet and greet get together and a dinner on Saturday evening in 2024! I would love to know if  classmates have a preference as to what time of the late summer or early Fall! Please let me hear from you all! Happy  Belated Birthday Jerry!!

Connie Narigon (Reid)

I'd love to find that card!  Carole and I are only 4 more days away.  We will be in Naples Florida the week of Thanksgiving celebrating with our kids and grandkids.  So will be loving it.  

Brad Wiedmann

Sharon,  I would prefer end of September for a meet and greet and dinner in Ft Madison

Darla Qualls (Dennison)

The end of September sounds good to me also. 

Jerry Rees

I suggest October when the trees are ablaze with color up and down the river.

Sandra Buckley (Matthews)

Sharon,  Bill & I aren't sure we are going to be able to get back to Iowa in 2024. We are hoping to book a river cruise trip to the Normandy beaches late summer or early fall. We have postponed making this decision until I had anti-inflammatory injections in both hips last week and see if I got adequate pain relief.....so far so good and I am sleeping and walking so much better. I will be able to have the shots every 3 months, if necessary. I am trying to avoid double hip replacement surgery. We will be in touch if we are able to get to Iowa. 

Sandi Thompson (Philips)

Sharon, Fall would work better for me.

Thank you for doing this.

Sandi

Sandra Ruppenkamp (Brown)

Sharon, we'll try to make it anytime you schedule it.  Thanks for doing this.  

Melinda Lang (Bachman)

I would prefer fall.

Sandra Buckley (Matthews)

Happy Anniversary to Sally and Jesse !  You have made a great life for each other - love always overcomes !

Loved the two pictures of past and present !!!

Melinda Lang (Bachman)

Happy Anniversary Sally and Jesse.  Great pictures!

Sally Morton (Trancoso)

Thank you so much for your good wishes. Jesse and I are enjoying our retirement and hope we can have many more years together. We've probably walked a million miles, rode our bikes almost as far and had great times in Colorado visiting Dana and Scott. Last summer we built a fence and tore down 3 sections of the old one surrounding our house. Keep moving!!!!

Cyndy Day (Savage)

Happy anniversary. Enjoy. 

Georgia O'Donnell (Merschman)

Happy Anniversary to the both of you.

Classmates: I just found out that Charlie LaFrenz is in the Blessing Hospital in Quincy, Illinois! He is having a procedure tomorrow where they are putting a catheter into his heart and on Monday another procedure! He told me they said his heart is working  about 20% which of course is not good! His email is fifelafrenz@gmail.com if you want to send him a note! I think we should all send Charlie a note or a prayer! May God Bless Charlie!

Patsy Cordray (VanPelt)

Sally and Jesse wishing you a very Happy 60th Anniversary and many more to come! I loved the portrait of you and Jesse..... you're a goodlooking couple. 

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

I want to remind people to go to Kinglynk.com
