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/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. ???? 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@...) ? |

开云体育Corrine,
?
Did you play clarinet or saxophone in the
band?? Don't know why I associate you with the woodwind section.?
I remember going downtown after lunch because I too had to catch the bus after school.? I like Gwen's description of going to the Brownie's and the 5 & 10 next door.? Does your family still own the farm or are your ties to the Dalton area pretty well gone?? I too, look forward to the 50th reunion-especially since I this will be my first ever. ?

开云体育Corrine,
I love looking those pictures.? Does any one
know what happend to Lynn Weikert?? I used to think he was one of the
silliest of class clowns?
?
And Bonnie Renner, I had forgotten all about her
until seeing your pictures.? I do occasionally hear the name Renner here in
Indy and remember the Renners outside Dalton were very active in
4-H.
?
Thanks "for the memories".

Hey Lanny you are not allowed to make mistakes! Haha
If you go back to the very beginning of the yahoo group, if you notice each contribution is numbered You will see where we encouraged others to tell us what they had been doing since high school, Also if you look on the left side of the yahoo group page you will see PHOTOS. click on photos to see what has been added........... There you can see some pics that I added and also Paul and Dan Hostettler and Corrine added some first grade pics and Chuck added some pics also. So jump in and give us your life story and add some pictures to the site. If you need some help with it just ask........I have talked to Cat again today and told him how much I appreciated the sacrifices he has made for our country. I love chatting with him and hearing his positive attitude and seeing so much of the CAT that we all loved! I would love it if we could get him to come to the area for the reunion even if he did not come to the group gatherings perhaps we could just meet with him in small groups. I am hoping that more classmates will call him as he would love the hear from them. Thanks again for all your contributions. PS Paul and I have great bios also! Good luck finding them! PS had a great IM chat with Linda F this evening and she had a great meeting with Nancy W and Keith G and his wife! Anyone else out there on the Yahoo IM chat list?
