Lynn Weikert and more............

Patricia Dearolf Lee
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. pjlee --- In dalton59@..., "Addie & Dave Yoder" <akddyoder@...> wrote: Lynn Weikert? I used to think he was one of the silliest of class clowns? pictures. I do occasionally hear the name Renner here in Indy and remember the Renners outside Dalton were very active in 4-H. 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! 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!!! 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/Vocational 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. 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 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. 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? 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? send personal e-mail to crkurze@...) |

Lanny and Judy Royer
I'm sorry about Lynns evasiveness.? Lynn and I were very good buddies and I missed him at the 30th.? I remember when I was living with my mom in CA between 1952-56 I always spent the summers in Dalton working the construction gangs for my dad.? Lynn and I would always hang together and one of the first things we used to do on my returns, we would race each other down main street;? I was tall and skinny but fast and we were always close in the races.? We also started sneaking smokes, L&Ms which we bought from the drug store from a guy, about 5'10", skinny, light brown wavy hair, was a year or two ahead of us, can't recall his name.? Anyway if you see?Lynn tell him Lanny wants to see him at the 50th and we will race down main street, probbaly in our walkers. ? Patricia the organizer.? What do you think about my previous idea, everyone give a brief bio update and send a recent picture?? I see one of us has already started the bio. ?
