well i am just catching up with my class of 59 reading and loving
every word that has been written, thank you all so much. just think
we have about 365 days to write to each other. just wish some more
penpals would jump in and communicate.
i am so green with envy that you guys linda nancy and keith and
sharon got to spend time together this weekend. hopefully i can get a
ga/nc gang together this summer.
i have has two thoughts on what i would like to incorporate into the
reunion next year. i know i am not the committee but i guess i am
self appointed female in charge of FUN.....i am sorry but i have a
steam roller personality and i will run over someone to get the job
done if i must!
one is the pizza trip and the other is the memorial day parade if
there is still one! perhaps we can have our own with our formals and
flowers and the boys riding their bikes...that would be long
remembered in the history of Dalton Ohio class of 59~ also can i
mention to the class president that i would love it if we could
include some of the kids that went to school with us that did not
graduate. if not in the official happenings at least in something.
peggy hoover dave mizner are two that come to mind evelyn shanklin
and i know there is more........ .any thoughts comments OK its past my
bedtime love to all pjlee

the spoon part at the top were a couple of jingle type bells/not
really bells-but made little jingle sounds and you hit this spoon
type thing against your other hand to make rhythm - Got it? I make
up for playing Jingle Clauds now by playing a "mean tambourine" in my
church. I go to a church that is very Charismatic, has a lot of
upbeat music, all kinds of keyboards, guitars, drum set, flute,
violin - and you might say I am maybe the "Chief Tambourine player)

dance worship team and wave flags too! I love it! Anything else to
me is boring.

Hello Everyone:? Dalton school days seems like yesterday but just as I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday, I have trouble remembering events from 49 years ago.? The e-mails, the photos, and the Luanna are all very helpful in recalling those years and I look forward to checking my in-box every day!?

???? I graduated from Jefferson School of Nursing in 1962.? My longest time in one position was 31 years as the director of a nursing school sponsored by the School District of Philadelphia (SDP).? Believe me, my students repeateadly repaid me for all of my mischevious behavior?when?I was in high school and when I was a?student nurse.? The District closed that adult nursing school in 1996?then I spent the next?6+ years?as Director of Career and Technical (aka Vocational) Education for the SDP.? The District imported a new superintendent and management?team from Chicago?that included?their own director of CTE.? I worked with the new team for a year then?was assigned to spend my last year before retirement on special assignment at Saul High School.? Saul High School is the largest argicultural high school in Pennsylvania is located 5 minutes from my house, and consistently wins awards, participates in international livestock exchanges, is a high academic achieving school, and has great kids.? What a perfect way for a farm girl to end her?formal working career!!!

???? Since retirement I?worked as a consultant for a couple of schools?and?organizations that needed help in getting approval to offer courses in?nursing and other health occupations.? In 1989 I had a textbook titled Contemporary Practical/Vocationa l Nursing published by Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.? I just finished a year-long project preparing the 6th edition last Tuesday so I now have some free time to enjoy retirement.

???? The two subjects I disliked the most were piano lessons with Mrs. Berg (I think it was practicing - not her but I was?intimidated because she was the principal's wife) and typing with Miss Santschi.? The most useful?subjects from high school were typing and senior English with I. Glen Berg.? I believe I took the school photos with a Brownie camera which I still have.? I have been in the process of transfering photos and slides to digital format?and I just happened to scan the school days first.?

I seem to recall there were the town kids and the country kids.? I was a country kid.? That meant I had to have a note to be able to leave school at lunch time to go "down town."? I loved buying candy at the 5 and 10 and I think I was only in Brownies a half dozen times in 12 years.? I had to get on the bus and go home while the "town kids" got to hang out and not rush to the bus.? I knew I wanted to be a "town kid" when I grew up.? A hugh treat was when my Grandmother Kurzen would take me to town for errands after which we would get a tin roof sundae in the drug store.?

???? Decoration Day was a big event in our house.? We went to the cemetaries several days ahead of time and cut the grass and planted red geraniums so the graves would look nice.? I still remember the smell of the geraniums.? On Decoration Day we would drive to town with my Dad hoping he would be able to find a parking place.?Did'nt the marching band play in the parade?

???? I had dinner with Eunice Stiener several years ago when she was in Philadelphia for a business conference and I occastionally see Carol Zimmerly Buchwalter at church.? I am looking forward to the reunion? and sitting in the special section reserved for those celebrating their 50th annivesary.? I remember what I thought about those people when we graduated? - does anyone else??

???? I'm looking forward to continuing conversation!?? (Please send personal e-mail to crkurze@comcast. net)

Addie and those of you who are wondering about Lynn Weikert. He
seems to be evasive and i did send him a snail mail letter and noted
that if he did not respond that i would hunt him down next time i was
in Dalton. I think perhaps he does not know how much he was loved
for who he was. I did talk to Cat Saurer last week and he told me
that he keeps in touch with Lynn.
Speaking of Cat I would like to start a memorial to him and what he
has done for our country and the sacrifices that he made. I for one
really appreciate it and i don't know how many others of our
classmates served our country but we need to find a way to give them
the honor and recoginition that they deserve. SO any ideas? Lets
hear from some of you that were in the service or know of those that
were so we can find out some info on them and honor them. as i
reflect back on this day and what it means to me i must mention a
sign i saw today that said "ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL"
God bless America and also those that have served our country. Cat
would love to hear from you by phone....you can find his name and
number in the database.

I was a country kid. That meant I had to have a note to be able to
leave school at lunch time to go "down town." I loved buying candy
at the 5 and 10 and I think I was only in Brownies a half dozen times
in 12 years. I had to get on the bus and go home while the "town

Hi Corrine,
THANKS so much for those pictures!!!!??? They were priceless!!! !!?????It brought tears to my eyes to see Prudy and Pat Lowery, both gone now.????? I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated all the time you put into this project.?????
?
From all the pictures,?I would think that I would remember of you going?around carrying a camera a lot of the time, but I don't.???? Even the old school playground.. ....you didn't miss a thing!!!!!!
?
I dropped off the 50th reunion planning committee... ...too many miles between me and the other members for me to be effective.???
?
Thanks again,
Gwen

Linda:

I give up. What's a jiggle-claud? Is that some kind of a tambourine?
It must have been some kind of high tech thing. Anyways the sticks were
still better than a crummy kazoo.

How can anyone our age type 80-90 wpm like you do? I'm impressed.
Plus being able to "cut and paste", attach stuff to e-mails, scan
photos, reformat, etc. is indeed a skill. I'm lucky to be able to
write anything for this yahoo group, let alone send photos.

Speaking of e-mails, what am I doing wrong when what I write comes out
weirdly spaced when I know when I write the e-mail it looks ok? Look at
the stuff below. Your e-mail is nice and neatly spaced. My stuff
looks weird. Maybe that's some kind of omen. Only weird people compose
e-mail that is weirdly spaced. Is there a way to reformat so the
written text looks like it was when it was written? The same thing
happens when I print a copy of the e-mail. Just don't use any
techno-babble trying to explain it. Please use one syllable words in
short sentences to explain.

Was the superintendent before Mr. Berg a Donald Baker? I think Helen
Shankleton taught one of those memorize and forget history courses. It
must have worked well because I learned how to forget history (mostly).
Those tv shows about "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" are
embarrassing. Just wait. Those little smarty pants fifth graders
someday won't be smarter than a fifth grader themselves. Serves them
right.

Glad to hear you're getting together with some of the Texas classmates
this weekend. As an aside, one of our sons lives in Allen, Tx too.
Small world that you live there too.

Thanks for the memories.

The Weaselmeister
