I recently learned from Jay Reich, Eric Hoberg's partner of over 35 years, that Eric passed away in early November of complications of non-COVID related pneumonia after a short illness.  Eric was a kind soul and a good man who will be missed by all who knew him.

Marilyn Rouen (Dimitroff)

Steve - Thank you for letting us know about Eric's passing.  We were in so many classes together and he was always so kind and bright.  I still remember that he was "Emile" in Mrs. Cummins French class.  Many good thoughts to his partner and family.

Merry Christmas Frank!  You must be a Hawaii resident - your greetig made me think of that old Bing Crosby song!  Remebering you especially as we were together alphabetically!  I've missed all the Reunions but always happy to hear from classmates through this forum.  Hope all is well with you and yours!  And here's to a much better 2021 for everyone!

Fellow classmates several weeks ago my wife and I attended a combined or joint class reunion which was hosted by the class of 1961. The reunion included graduates from 1958 through 1968. My wife and I had a fantastic time at the reunion held at the Embassy suites motel in Lavonia on Friday night and then Saturday a meal at Mamma Mia's restaurant. It was great seeing that only a few others that I had graduated with but also those that preceded us and graduating from Thurston high school, and a number from the clear classes that graduated after we did. We enjoyed the event so much that I wanted to try and be a part of helping our class hold our 60th reunion.  Our class reunion committee has done a fantastic job in organizing and hosting the reunions in the past, but as David Daniels stated some of us are getting older, LOL! I'm hoping that we can get a small group of volunteers together in order to host a successful 60th reunion for the class of 1963. Terry Salmonson THS grad class of 1961 literally organized and hosted the combine class reunion including the classes from 1958 through 1968 by himself. I am confident that we can do at least as well as he did. I will post additional information following this one providing information on how we can move forward and get the help we need from other sources. Thank you, Gerald Wiebeck

below is a message from a coordinator from Lee M Thurston high school, helping graduation classes and hosting reunions. I'll keep in touch with her to see what resources she has. I will not be the face for the class of 1963/ 60th reunion for professional and personal reasons. But I will throw a lot of 'muscle' to help make it happen. I'd like to see a group of from 6 to 10 of this class come together to help get the job done. I'll get the email and contact information of our class And reach out to those who are interested. It is extremely, absolutely and unequivocally important that we include the graduation class is that preceded us and those that proceeded from 1963.  Not only does it make it more rewarding and seeing other people that we went to school with but it also helps us to meet the minimum requirements by the Embassy suites motel and Mamma Mia's restaurant. It also helps to keep the per person cost down for meals and snacks.
Hi Gerald,

Gerald Wiebeck

About a year ago I located and contacted Franklin Pisani, and spoke with him at length. He was friendly and cordial and vaguely remembers attending THS, but thought he graduated in a different class. He's not interested in being contacted, nor attending any of our class events. I am going to locate those listed as missing, in preparation for celebrating 🥳 our 60th anniversary reunion.

Orval Hayes

I'd like to express my condolences to the family and friends of Rick Sloan.

Happy Birthday to Dan O'Grady, remember you well, stay safe! Gerald

I'm going to begin running locations on our missing classmates. If any of you have up dated information on our classmates, for married names of class mates female / girls / women. Feel free to share back. All information I get will go to Len Capelli and the committee.

Jean McAlees (Winteringham)

Very sorry to report that Tom Sonczak died in August of 2021. He lived down the street from us and we talked often. Don't know if this has been listed elsewhere.

Hello:

I'm working to locate those in our class listed as "missing" on this platform.  I've found 9 of those I've searched for whoo are listed on my databases as being deceased.  I'll be posting a secure site for those of you with 'last best' information on toehers on the missing list as soon as I can find a "safe harbor" to do so.

Blessings to each of you and your families, and hoping we can meet at the 60th reunion this summer.

Gerald

Class of 63, it's time for us to get together again.  I hope you've heard already about the reunion celebration planned for the 60th anniversary of our graduation from the finest high school in the land. If you have heard, forgive me for being redundant. If you haven't, here's what we doing:

Saturday, September 30, 2023 — 11:30 am til 4:00 pm at our favorite hang-out of Mama Mia's, 27770 Plymouth Rd, Livonia, MI 48150. Cost will be $30 each (please cash only)

A tour of the high school is also in the works for that morning (probably starting around 10)

I've already heard back from 35 of our class who are planning on being there. We're hoping that you can be with us too. You can let me know me at dcd3@corneill.edu

The THS class of 1963, 60th reunion will be on Saturday, September 30, 2023. Do you need to contact Patty or David in order to get on the attend list. QUESTION, if you are planning on attending the event on Saturday, would you be interested in creating or participating in a meet and greet event on late Friday afternoon or evening? Please post your answers here.

Thomas Tanner

To Dave Daniels (and wife), Bill Lambert, Patti Veresan, Gerry Wiebeck:  Thank you so much for organizing, coordinating, and hosting our 60th Year Class Reunion.  It was great getting a chance to see classmates, share stories and memories, eat some good food and tour our old stomping grounds THS.

Your unselfish time and effort did not go unnoticed and again I thank you very much!

Classmates,

I am reading an interseting book, "Once ina a Great City", by David Maraniss.

I t is the story of Detroit in 1963.  It deatils the envents of that year, many of wihich I have no memory.

The author is a quality wirter nad did a great deal of researh for the book.

If you wnat ot go back to the period before the riots and look at their root causes you may be interested.  

Also covered, MoTowns, the gansters, and the reform govenrment of Mayor Cavanagh, the birth of the Mustang and much more.
