From my memory Look below about 20 lines down: Blank spaces (I can't figure out how to delete all these blank lines). I'm an accountant, not a word processor person. If it's not on a spreadsheet, I can't function logically. Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Filler Nickname genealogy: Researched today. From my memory (which may not always be intact anymore), here are my recollections of nicknames for several of our class members: Weasel (me): On one of the back roads around Dalton (of which there are many), I spotted some kind of varmint in front of the car. I don't recall who was driving. Anyways, this beast darted in front of our speeding car (Ford, Chevy or some Mopar car) and I thought it was a weasel. Everyone laughed and hence the name--Weasel. Schminck (John Hare): I'm not sure about this name but I suspect it is in tandem with me being called Weasel. I think he was then called Mink which somehow got twisted into Schminck. This is just a guess. Cash (Jerry Amstutz): He always enjoyed playing cards and seemed to always win and then he got the name Cash. Another guess. Hebe (Herb Eberly): This must have been a variation of his first and last name. Friction (Keith Goudy): Can't figure this one out. Shook Up (Don Johnson): Sometimes got shook up--hence the name. Lammy(Lanny Royer): A derivative of Lanny. Cat (Harold Saurer): Cat like quickness. Lymmie (Lynn Weikert): A derivative of Lynn. If anyone else had nicknames, I don't remember them. If the stuff above is wrong, who cares? It makes good conversation. Any error corrections would be appreciated. John (Weasel) Henry Douglas

Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. -- Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it works: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox, when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Diet Coke that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Diet Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Diet Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Diet Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered. I set the Diet Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Diet Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers don't have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming! GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC. P.S. I just remembered. I LEFT THE WATER RUNNING IN THE DRIVEWAY

the word is out about the reunion dates or at least the traditional gathering of our class attending graduation on May 31 . there are no other details at this time that i can glean so i will keep you posted as i find out. i don't know it it will be friday night and something on saturday but if any of you are going early in the week lets get together before and party. its only a year away! thanks to Lanny Royer who just joined the group. Looking forward to hearing more from you, Lanny and glad you have resurfaced.

I am excited to hear from another classmate after sending out the letters. so far Lanny Royer has emailed and joined the group YEAH and today i got a VM from Harold Saurer. yes he still has the same sweet slow drawl and spoke fondly of wanting to connect with the class. He stated that he is a early 20th century man living in the 21st century with no computer or computer skills and that the best way to communicate with him is by phone. he says leave a message with the best time to call back and he will....he lives in AZ, so here is his number 520-795-9454. W What i loved most was the message he ended with...........Create for yourself a beautiful day. That should be our class motto. Did we have a class motto? i dont see it anywhere and i have gleaned the luanna. but i did find two more nicknames.....IVAN who i think is Jeff Eckard and Lynn Weikert ROSIE. I have a clue on why IVAN for Jeff but dont remember why Lynn was ROSIE. Any comments? class colors were pink and black? where is this stuff written? just in my head? Help me out here!

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers & fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play pool, play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a youth experience. Or how about Levi Berg's where you could buy an ice cream cone (double dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)? I never went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the bad stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even near beer was being consumed). Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these places or any other long gone places in Dalton? My most memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty, the next day I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the counter and slinked away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to myself as I left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since. I guess my parents raised me well. Let me know of your memories of theses places or others. I'm sure everyone has a tale to tell. I'll try to think of some other places in the area to jog your memory. The Weaselmeister

Dear John, Yo Weasel. Glad to see you are still around, so am I. I remember the football players used to go to the back rooms and that was were we learned to play pool and cards, from the old timers. Despite coaches warnings about doing that. I am going to scratch my old mind and start thinking of interesting things. Back later. Take care, Lanny

Hey John, I didn’t realize that you had dreams of playing in a rock band!!!! My clarinet went to my brother, Mike, and he played the years he was in school and my saxophone was one that the school owned so no great stories there. I remember Scott’s Drug Store where we would order marshmallow cokes and then when they mixed them wrong, they made a mess all over the counter. I also remember the store on the corner of Main and Mill (don’t’ remember the name) where they would give us these tiny loaves of bread that were always so fresh. I don’t remember going in Levi’s that must have been off limits for us girls. I also remember Vic having me direct the high school band when I was in elementary school and they played “Ten Little Indians”. Chuck and I played some clarinet duets. Didn’t we change our colors from pink and black to green and silver before we graduated? Barb (Moser) Pailloz

Who can tell me why the Dalton town founders selected the site they did for the village? Why was it built on a hill? I can't recall any other towns in the area built on a hill. I remember other towns around there being built on flat land. What's the scoop? Did the founding fathers and/or mothers have one leg shorter than the other? Keeps me up nights wondering.... Any reasonable guess is acceptable. The Weaselmeister

How do you get Yahoo to show the correct time zone on the message? I sent an e-mail at 12:48pm CDT and it shows on the message that it was sent at 5:48 pm (some future time in the twilight zone). Does anyone else have the same problem? Or am I the only one living in the twilight zone? Chances are I am the only one. Help! The Weaselmeister

I'm sure you all remember the first satellite in space Sputnik (at least the one I remember the name of -so it must have been the first one). Who remembers the card game Sputnik which I think one of us invented, although it might have been Bruce Tschantz, class of 56. I remember the name, but don't recall how it is played or what the rules are. If anyone knows, please explain the rules. Desperately seeking Sputnik... The Weaselmeister

What was the first car you drove (other than your parents' old DeSoto)? Mine was a 48 Plymouth Coupe' pea green color. A real Bondo special inherited from my brother. I think he just wanted to dump it so he could get his dream car, a 1954 (I think) Plymouth Belvedere convertible with a continental tire kit, robin egg blue color, which he still has by the way; it's always garaged and only goes outside on clear sunny days with a -300% chance of rain. Anyways, I think that's where I got it. It lasted several years until I dumped it on some unfortunate soul. Hope it wasn't one of your relatives. Then I got a 52 Ford Victoria from a Dalton local (it was probably his first dream car, too.) The Plymouth was probably my favorite car (I guess because it was my first car). What was your first car and what are your memories of it? Good or bad.

Keith, Glad your still around. As for the one act play, directed by Mr. Jogan, called "hope is a thing called feathers", it starred me, Lyle, weasel, cat, Jim Meier, Bob Geisler, Jim Brown, Herbert Eberly, and Don Palmer. Herbert and I were named to the all state cast, and our play took first in state. Keep in touch. Lanny No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.

Remember the trauma we all went through on 2/3/59 when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper died in a plane crash? I remember being, of all places, at Brownie's and Karen and Connie came across the street to tell everyone about the tragedy. I read where there will be a movie next year called When the Music Died. Another 50 year anniversary, macabre as it may be. Don McLean had a great song like that called American Pie. I remember Buddy Holly and The Crickets singing Peggy Sue, That'll Be the Day, True Love Ways (my favorite), Everyday, and a lot more. Where were you? The Weaselmeister

Does Cleo remember how many bodies he could stuff into his minicar? I think it was a Metropolitan. The Weaselmeister

This has been a great subject for me just to relive the town again. As many of you know I grew up right in the middle of town and have lots of memories of what the street looked like and where things were and the changes that took place over the years. It would be fun to draw a chart of where things were that we remember as I am sure we all have different memories. I am going to start to the left of my house (you remember I lived in the old hotel) first there was the town hall and the bandstand where the band would play each Saturday night when the farmers would come to town to do their banking and their shopping. Then was the barber shop which had several owners over the years ...then came Slusser's grocery store where the small loaves of wonder bread came from for yes 10 cents. Then there was a great little passage way thru to camille Schultz back yard. Camille lived upstairs in the building and her parents had the lamplighter restaurant downstairs with a player piano in the back room that was just grand. It later became Bud Powley's TV and appliance store. Then there was vandersal jewelry store in this tiny little store front and perhaps next to that was a meat market at one time, I am still trying to think of the name ??? Oh yes it was Stahls. PS above the meat market was a cobbler and I loved going there and smelling the leather ...I wish I could think of his name, he was a very old man, help me out here someone, was it Mr Arnold? And then it was Bergs (Geneva ... dry good store where they sold fabrics and notions. I think next was goudy furniture and then bergs grocery store where the Norman Bergs lived above it. And then perhaps was Brown's lunch were many of our memories were made hanging out after school. Then was the post office and I always enjoyed looking at the wanted list and scaring myself thinking those people were most probably in the neighborhood. Then I think was a residence and then the wonderful Wright's 5 & 10 where they had huge chunks of chocolate that was sold by the pound and sen sen's and blue waltz perfume. The next building was perhaps the very poor Massey family living upstairs and another barber shop. Dan Hostettler did your dad have a barber shop there? Then there was an open space or a parking lot and then started some residences and then was the school supply place which was run by pet palmer. Oh I could tell you some stories about pet palmer! I remember buying pencils and ink bottles and erasers, protractors and etc in that little place which always had a funky smell. Perhaps the newspaper was printed in the back room? Then on up the street was the home of Ceila Denbrook who was an upper classman. Soon we are arriving at good old Dalton Grade School which was full of lots of memories too and that is another subject for later. Tell me what you remember............. -------Original Message------- From: Keith Goudy Date: 5/16/2008 2:06:47 PM To: dalton59@... Subject: RE: [dalton59] Historical/hysterical Dalton places like Brownie's and Levi's I played the trumpet in the band and kept it for many years and then eventually sold it. Before high school I was in the Kidron School and John F. Lehman and Myron Nussbaum and I played in a trumpet trio and went to contest one year. After high school I never really played it again even though I had a major in Music Education. I spent many hours in Brown's Lunch including pool playing in the back and card games in the very back room. How about the many hours we would stand out front late in the evening and hang out and tell jokes. Talk about a small world. My dad has a manufactured home in North Fort Myers, FL where they went for 20 plus winters. They helped Carl & Marcella Brown find a home in the the same park. My dad can't drive that far anymore so we ended up buying it from him and we now "snowbird" from Texas to Florida. Go figure that one out. Anyway, Carl and Marcella are still snowbirding there each year. It had been almost 50 years since I had seen them but we see each other every few days when we are there. His dad ran the Brown's Lunch and

Here's some gruesome trivia from the 50's: On April 10, 1958 Chuck Willis died from a bleeding ulcer shortly after his hit "What Am I Living For". Another 50's legend dies a tragic death. The Weaselmeister

We're blessed to have been there in 1959 to hear live the last of the 50's music. What's your favorite song from the fabulous 50's? There will never be another era like that. What was your favorite song? Who was your favorite singer? Who was your favorite group? Remember the old 45 rpm vinyls with the big hole in the middle and the lousy sound (which was state of the art then before 33 lp albums)? I thought I had the deluxe record player back then. I think it was a Voice of Music (VM) two tone record player with a hinged lid. Wow! Even though I got an occasional shock from the stupid thing, it was as they say "groovy" (no pun intended since, remember records had grooves in them). It must have gone to the great record player in the sky graveyard. Can't recollect what happened to it. Lost in space I guess. I still listen to the oldies on Sirius satellite radio (Channel 05)and can recollect (more or less) where I was when they play the songs of the 50's with no commercials. I think I still have my old 45's but I haven't listened to them in a long time because I don't have a record player that plays 45 rpm records. I still have a JVC turntable that plays 33 vinyls. The good news is that I bought a USB turntable to convert vinyls to CD's or some Ipod MP3 (whatever that is--grandchildren understand completely). The bad news is that I bought it about six months ago and is still in the box waiting for me to comprehend how to get the vinyls converted on the computer to CD's. Talk about a generation gap. Personally, I don't really trust anything I can't see spinning around. I made the big step to 8 track tapes, then cassette tapes (which I still use to tape recordings from the Sirius satellite radio), and CD's. Now that CD's are almost obsolete, I guess I'm almost obsolete too. That MP3 thing is a mystery to me. Like to hear from you if you can remember back that far. The Weaselmeister

Does anyone remember the first grade Rhythm Band? I just recall that I was forever traumatized by my experience. All the kids with talent got to play some groovy instruments like tambourines, drums, triangles,etc. The losers got to play a kazoo. I played a kazoo. No wonder I can't play the piano anymore after taking piano lessons from Alberta Berg for seven long years. "Curve those fingers, Johnny" is all I remember that Alberta said. No wonder I can't hold my fingers straight. I don't think I am imagining this, but I think I once barfed on Alberta's piano keyboard. Must have been some kind of rebellion. It sure was hard to play songs from the John Thompson songbook after that. Some of the keys stuck together. When's the last time you enjoyed a kazoo song? Does anyone remember who were the ones who got to play the fun instruments? Forever traumatized, The Weaselmeister

We used to go to Akron after football and basketball games to Luigi's Pizza on South Main Street. That was the best pizza in the area. My niece from Ohio sent me some Luigi's pizza a couple of years ago (packed in dry ice ready to re-heat) and it was as good as I remembered it to be. I tried to find the Luigi's once after returning to Ohio. That place is hard to find but well worth the effort. Anyone else remember Luigi's? Ohio pizza sure beats Texas pizza anyday. Another good pizza place was Your Pizza Shop in Massillon (and I think also in Wooster). Not sure it's still in existence. I liked the pepperoni and banana pepper combo. Those were the days. A pizza for a couple of bucks. The Weaselmeister

well here i am in the n ga mountains for the summer in our RV. i have not been able to send emails only receive and i feel so trapped. i am hoping that this flys........enjoying all the interaction about the teachers and the barbers and the pizza. i am realizing that it is so crazy that even tho our class was small we all went in different directions. i vagely remember the pizza at luggi's but i think that my friend camille and i were faithful to your pizza on erie street in massilon. we too waited for hours for that pizza out in the dark parking lot as it was the dark side of town. we locked the doors and kept the heater running while we ran in and out every 20 minutes to see it was in the bottom oven yet. my fav was sausage and banana peppers. but YES a huge YES LETS plan to go a trip to Coccia's Pizza. make it the last day as i hear the garlic is fierce! also i must admit to being one of the ones that helped life the metro on the sidewalk. as i remember cleo did not handle it well! but the best news of all is that i had a call today from CAT Saurers and we had a great visit. please call him, he would love to hear from you and i know that YOU will be especially blessed by talking to him. keep on typing and i hope to get back on line soon.....patricia lee
