I am so sorry to hear about Eric Blume, I was just thinking about him last week.  When I was going to marry in 1975, Eric and I were good friends, we used to listen to music together.  As a pre wedding gift, he gave my to be husband and I his stereo system.  He was one of the sweetest people I have ever meant.  He always had this touch of melancoly about him though, and I was always trying to cheer him up when we listened to music together.

I'm sad to hear about Eric.  He was a good classmate and friend.  We last talked while he was working at the Comfort Inn one morning.  He seemed happy and content.  I hope many of his classmates will attend his funeral and give his family much needed support.

We saw The Graduate together, twice in 1968; he totally identified with Dustin Hoffman, as Benjamin Braddock.

Eric, rest in peace, ole' buddy.

Dick Garrelts Great ROWDY NITE !! We had a fine group with 3 Classes represented. Went till Midnight! Welcome aboard Scott (71) and of course Brownie (69) can't be mistaken for anything less than Rowdy - and a regular fixture at our gatherings. We even got to meet this year's leader of the Rowdys. Great kid! Traveling farthest was Jerry and Karen Ohlmann. If we would have started a fire, they would have had the honor. (don't spill the secret - maybe next time) The Sloe Gin was a hit (or miss) Don't bother looking for it, Gloria. All the comments were the same. "Tastes like cough syrup!" ... "I can't believe we drank this shit!"... and "I got sick on that one time" made for some great stories! So if you missed this chance, there is most of a bottle left for the next mini. Maybe it gets better with age ?? MANY THANKS to Danny, Deb, and the dog for the Shop and Limousine Service. BTW Danny, Deb said you were sleeping it off today... wimp! SPECIAL THANKS to Tony and Cindy WC for all the work - with this gathering, the mission of the Rowdy Scholarship Fund, and soon-to-be Rowdy Facebook Page. Much appreciated !! THANKS to EVERYBODY for coming, and for all the great food, the laughs, and fun memories! 83,241 80 Lurkers

Great party, Brownie.  Of course the 69ers were outnumbered again!  I thought for sure the Cherry Sloe Gin and Boone's Farm would be like a 69er magnet.  Maybe with age comes a more discriminating palate ?   Or is it that you're not yet accustomed to a KHS WIN ?  (no offense intended, Bix)   Or maybe you all went someplace else for a Sloe Screw ?

Hey, Classmates!

Did you realize that we're only one year away from celebrating our 50th class reunion?

In order to get a jump on the planning for next year's 50th class reunion, our first planning meeting has been scheduled for this coming Saturday, February 17 at 10:00AM.  We will be meeting at Mary (McKinney) Kommers' home in Kearney (2002 W. 35th Street).  

We need as many hands on board as possible, so please consider giving us an hour or two of your time this Saturday and helping us begin the planning process with your good ideas.

Thanks!

Hey Randy;

The baby looks like he/she is saying I am going to punch you in the face Grandpa!!  Too cute.  

Barb Franz (Meyer)

Cathy Clark (Lawson)

No better Job in the world than being Grandpa! Love the Dark Hair and Beautiful Dark Eyes, so Precious!

Randy Brown

Painer and I took a road trip to Johnson Lake to look for Eagles. Was a great day to go. 

Mary McKinney (Kommers)

The abundance of eagles is awesome, but your granddaughter takes the cake!

Wayne Garrelts

Looks like someone is looking to punch somebody out for taking a photo! Eh Brownie!! Great shot!

Tom Bixby

ONA AND I HAVE A NEW GREAT GRANDBABY. QUINTON NORMAN GROSS. THAT MAKES 8!!

Mary McKinney (Kommers)

Wow, congratulations, Tom!  We have 3 but still feel so blessed...

Candi Imming

Congrats to you and Ona, Bix!   Brownie, what a sweetheart!

Randy Brown

For a treat, if you have interest, search “Decorah Iowa eagle nest video”. Contact me if you have trouble.

Bix and Ona - congratulations - I have about 12 - I stopped counting, four of whom live with me.  Brownie, love the Eagle pictures, they have Eagle days here in January, but it is always too darn cold for me.  But the hawks are gorgeous and the falcons.  So many pigeons and small animals for dinner.  Watched one devour some kind of bird in my backyard tree, rather disgusting but interesting.  Lots of tall buildings that they can nest in and plentiful parks also.  

On another note, I know Jerry Foote and Cindy are still around?  I am surprised he has not participated in any of the posts.  He was always so active in everything at school.  And Cindy was a smart, pretty young woman.
