Howdy all!  Unfortunately there is sad new to share.  Our vivacious, fun loving classmate, Marilyn Harkins Claassen passed away 2 days ago after a long battle with lung cancer.  She died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.  May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Howdy from Texas.  Just had a great visit with Fred Grau and his son MIke.  Played a little golf and took in the Notre Dame / Texas A&M football game.  We had a great time and true to Texas sized hospitality allowed the visiting team to go home victorious and happy!!!!!!  Mike is wearing the gray shirt and my son, Hans is taking the selfie.  I'm sure you can recognize the youngsters in the middle!

Howdy to younz'all from Texas.  Tom Orszulak, Harry "Buzzy" Woloson, and I just enjoyed our semi-annual golf outing here in Fort Worth and Tyler, Texas.  We are standing in front of the Old Carswell AFB Golf course Club house, which is now a public course.  We have come to realize that none of us is going to win the US Open at Oakmont next year, but we are going yo try to attend. the good Lord willin'!  Maybe we will see you there, or at least have a mini reunion.  Until then, please take care and watch your steps, cause a simple fall can be more than a simple boo-boo.

Hello Wayne et al!  Great picture of the 3 Amigos in Texas.  My sincere apologies to everyone for not being

able to pull a mini reunion toghether this year. I was flying back and forth to Kansas City for 3 or 4 months due to a younger sister who had serious health issues. Unfortunately, she passed away in June.  I'm also in the middle of winding down my full time job in advertising with Boomer magazine in Cleveland (soon to be rebranded as THRIVE after 55!  I'll keep about a dozen of accounts into 2025, but basically semi-retiring. I'm hoping to get back to my podcast FIFTY SHADES OF GRAY HAIR sometime in the next few months. www.fiftyshadesofgrayhair.com.  Let's look at getting together at the VFW sometime in April/May of 2025. If any of your contact information has changed in the past year, please email it to me at ypelino@gmail.com.  My motto for 2025;  STRIVE TO STAY ALIVE:-).  Blessings to all and continued good health.

Oops, I loaded the pix twice, But since I didn't add the story line, I will add it now.  While in Tyler we shared some time and breakfast with Classmate Bob Kautzman who lives near Long view, TX.  Bob is also retired after a long career working in the chemical industry in Houston.

Howdy all.  I unfortunately have some sad news to share, our classmate Angela Redding Reiter Hill passed away a few days ago after a protracted battle with lymphoma.  She died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.  Her second husband, Ron Hill passed away suddenly just over a year ago.  He was a class of 64 Ken Hi grad also.  Her services will be this coming weekend, Dec20/21 at Restland Funeral home in Dallas, TX.  May her soul rest in eternal peace!

Frances Massi (Haradzin)

Dear Wayne,

Thank you for sharing!  Angela and her family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Christmas blessings and peace on earth...  

With warm and loving regard from Fran

Thank you for letting us know, Wayne. I didn't realize that Angela had lymphoma. So sad to lose another of our classmates. 

Louise Hince

Angela and were friends in school and kept in touch over the years and at every reunion she came to !! Her talents at crafting wreaths for our doors was amazing!! I bought four .  Her bravery thru her battle with lymphoma was -Angela !!  Always a cute uplifting message every day ! I miss her gentle kindness already!

Howdy Yinz'all,  Just a quick note from sunny California.  Harry (Buzzy) Woloson, Tom Orszulak and yours truly enjoying a round of golf at the Sandpiper Golf Course in Santa Barbara.  Unfortunately Fred Grau was unable to attend this time.

Yvonne Pelino (Pelino)

WOW, THAT IS AWESOME. I"m so jealous...however, I am in sunny South Carolina.

You guys all look great. Enjoy.

Roger Loughran

The smiles tell it all to be lucky enough to enjoy friends and the out door weather as you are.  Truly wonderful to be golfing at this stage of life.  Sorry Fred wasnt there and hope you four are together next year to enjoy the laughs together and the memories of times past.  Good for you stalwarts.  Roger l

Great picture of old friends golfing.

Great view of the ocean.

Great view of the golf course.

That's all nice, but WHAT WERE THE SCORES ?????

We want to know WHAT WERE THE SCORES ?????

Wayne Schuricht

John, As you might imagine, the scores have kept pace with our IQ's - keep going up.  So in light of our rising IQ's we have gotten smarter and now play a scramble and yes we are scratch scramblers! (Almost!)

John Sopko

Ok.  Now I got it.  You guys really don't play golf.  You walk around the course and take great pictures.  Then you go to the local diner and have scramblers with toast and coffee.  Indeed you have gotten a lot smarter.  Thanks for clearing it up for us.  I will never ask about the scores again.
