For those of you that haven't heard Kent Oestenstad's daughter Amy died recently in Alabama.
Cousin Kathy Ellis Penkert has shared the following:
Hi, incase you don't know there will be a celebration of life for Amy Oestenstad at Oenota Park in Spencer on October 11 at 2:00 pm. Kent may be able to come...just depends on health. (Kent now lives in South Carolina)
We have ongoing expenses of about $300 per year to maintain an ad free class website dedicated to the Spencer High School Class of 1965 with our own domain name. While this may seem like a lot, if each member donated $10 we would be in great shape for several years. as it is if ten members donated $30 each we would meet our yearly goal. In the past these costs have been bourne by just a couple of classmates, but as we have all move toward retirement mode it makes sense to spread out the cost over more folks.
It's that time again, each Summer we are billed to renew our site and domain license. We humbly ask for the members of the class to step forward and donate. As I did last year, I will take the Donate feature down when our goal of $300is reached, it only took four days last year.
Please use Donation 3
Happy Birthday Joey. ????????
Those were the days my friend!

I had word from friend and classmate Kathy Ellis Penkert today that her husband Dan has entered hospice with incurable bladder cancer. She said he is resting comfortably, but can not communicate. Kathi shared that Dan probably has a week to live. If you are so inclined prayers for Kathy and her family are appreciated. A Celebration of Life will be held after he passes.

Thanks for your understanding we are back in business. More updates will be coming.
Well it appears that the old adage, “Absence makes the heart grow founder of some one (thing) else may in fact be true. The website was down for about two months and now since it has been back up it has been used twice. It was down due to an error on my part, it cost me $250 to get it back up and running. That is in addition to the annual cost of $300. The donate to help with costs button is up on the left hand column. Suffice it to say that unless there is more activity on the site and some help with costs, I will not renew it next year. If any of you have thoughts of a 60 year reunion next year please take note.
