ANNOUNCEMENTS

Well, spring is almost here! Here are some dates I am considering for an all-class gathering!

Confirmed: May 15: quarterly dinner, 4pm -- at Panini's in Concord. The deadline to RSVP is Thursday, May 8. See you there!!

June 9: Barb Smith will be in town. Dinner?

July 12: Joan Cantrick Stout will be in town for her annual Johnnycake Jog on the 13th. Dinner? (Note the date change from the 10th to the 12th.) 

August 7: Ginny Waterman will be in town for her summer visit. Dinner?

I would love suggestions on where, with a start time of 4pm. 🙂 Email me if you have ideas!

Our quarterly dinner schedule has changed a bit, based on comments by classmates made after our last one. Our next quarterly dinner will be Tuesday, February 4 at 4pm. And for something different ---- Smoke BBQ, 420 Bacon Road in Painesville. Small place but they are usually empty at 4pm. Let me know if you can attend! I went there for lunch and it was pretty good! https://www.smokebbq-grill.com/menu#menu=dine-in 

Janine Gachuk Schmitt will be in town on Thursday, December 19. We are meeting her for lunch at Mean Mugs Pub at 11:30am. Let me know if you can join us.  7061 Chillicothe Rd, Mentor, OH 44060.  https://www.meanmugspub.com/menu

We had a great evening last night at Pastina's for our quarterly dinner. Great company, great food.

But after a while, the place was packed and the noise level made things difficult for those of us with hearing aids. We briefly talked about the idea of holding the quarterly dinners on a different night than Saturday (when it would not be so crowded), and perhaps even earlier than 5:30pm.

What say you? Under the old plan, our next quarterly dinner will be Saturday, February 1st (first Saturday of February, May, August and November). Should we do something different? Send me an email and let me know your thoughts!

 

Sad news: Robert Lohr has passed. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/peachtree-city-ga/robert-lohr-11992872

Sad news: we learned that Ruth Tenney Sprowls passed away on May 24, 2024 as a resut of cancer. The family is planning a celebration of life sometime later in both Myrtle Beach and Painesville.

Photos of the 55th Reunion are now available on the left side. You don't have to be registered or logged in to view them. Let me k now if there are any mistakes. And if you have photos you would like to submit, email them to me. Enjoy!

      Aug. 9: I've added a photo gallery from Wayne & Paulette, and two videos they produced. The first one is quite funny!

For Throwback Thursday, click on "Graduation Day 1968" in the left column and watch a video of the class breakfast and graduation ceremony. Thanks to Connie McFarren Stokes and Tom Strong for saving it all these years! 

Hello classmates of Riverside High School class of 1968. This is a new location for our class listings and information.

The class list has been imported and is based on records kept by Ruth Tenney Sprowls from the 40th Reunion, and updated as committee members identify new information. Class photos for the 1968 Beavers Tale have been uploaded. Some names do not have photos and we are searching for something appropriate.

Now we need everyone to log in to participate. Help us find missing class members!

The first thing to do is read the "First Time Visitors" section by clicking on the link in the top row. Many of your questions about privacy and more will be answered there.

Next, pay your respects to our fellow classmates who have passed away in the "In Memory" section. Let us know if we have missed anyone so we can honor them.

Third, find your name on the "Classmate Profiles" section again by clicking on the link on the top row. When you find yourself, click in and register your information. Again, those pages will have information about privacy, etc.

If you do not want to be listed here or ever contacted by your classmates, please write me on the "Contact Me" page and let me know. I will delete your name and all related information from the list. If you don't mind your name and photo being here, but don't want to be contacted by anyone, just remove your email and other contact information from your profile details.

Finally, please reach out to classmates you know and urge them to come and register here. We are missing some classmembers and want to have as many people included as possible. Also, if you see any ommissions or names that need correction, please let me know.
