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.

On  this special day of Rememberance, Memorial Day 2025, I would like to share with you this painting of Squadron 17 of the Texas A&M Corp of Cadets.  My grandson Gabriel is a proud member of the squadron and was honored to serve as it's CO this past year.    The unit serves as a living memorial to the Challenger Space Shuttle that tragically blew up on launch in 1986 and is known as the Challenger SQ.  It also honors the Apollo1 and Columbia missions that ended tragically.  The painting depicts the unit marching in review with obvious reverence to the Shuttle missions and Apollo1, and to the horrible Aggie Bonfire that claimed the lives of 12 students in 1999.  May their souls rest in eternal peace.

Wayne Schuricht

Howdy All, just a reminder for you to SAVE THE DATE and come!!  To our Class 0f 63 informal mini reunion on OCT1 at 1800 at the VFW in Lower Burrell.  WE are now 62 years out, who woulda thunk it!  So if you can, come on out ,  We don't have too many of these left!.  Come as you are!!!  We are all old and wish we looked like we did 50 or 60 years ago, but that's not happening.  So loose your inhibitions and come visit with your old friends and reminisce and share your memories and life stories.

Once again, the powers that be have scheduled this mini reunion on a Jewish religion high holiday, Yom Kippur, in spite of my repeated request that consideration be given to the two fall Jewish high holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is a day of atonement that begins at sundown on October 1 and ends at sundown on October 2; it is a day of reflection, prayer, and fasting. 
As Wayne said, we are aging and who knows how many more of these events may be held, or that we will be capable of traveling to. I regretfully will not attend again this year as my family observes the Jewish high holidays. 

Wayne Schuricht

Just a quick reminder for those who might be interested and in the area.  There will be a gathering of "63" classmates at the VFW in Lower Burrell on OCT1 starting at 1800.  This is not a major production, it is obvious we are done with those, but very casual and informal.  Pretty much a last chance to meet and greet and spread the "bull"!   Tom Orszulak, Harry Woloson, and I will be in town to to attempt to play a little golf with Fred Grau as we have done for the past 15 or so years.  Hope to see you at the VFW!

Wayne Schuricht

Well our time together in New Ken has come and gone.  Hopefully some of us will have another chance in a couple of years and we will try again.  Those of us there enjoyed sharing our lives and memories.  We all wished more people attended, but ancient bodies and health played a role in several last minute cancellations.  Attendees included Karen Lohr Petrarca, wido of  Jim Petrarca, John  Sopko, George Rotter and wife Donna, Alvin Zito, Walter "Skip" Baker, Tom Orszulak,  Fred Grau and wife Cindy, Richard Prinkey and his wife Cheryl, and yours truly.  Please spread the word around to classmates in your circle of friends about this website, it is a wonderful way to keep in touch.  Cheers and all the best!  Wayne

Here is the latest edition of the KenHi 63 golfing geezers, Tom, Fred, and Wayne taken September 29, 2025 at Birdfoot Golf Club.  Unfortunately Harry "Buzzy" Woloson was unable to attend this time.

Howdy and Merry Christmas from Texas.  As I have just finished playing in my 35th Christmas concert with the Northeast Commnity Orchestra, I started to reflect on the wonderful music teachers we had and how they helped instill the love of music that I (and hopefully you) still have.  My fondest memories of My Ken Hi years are of the time I (and many of us) spent in Choir with the dynamic "Miss B" - Carolyn Bruno, and the Ridge Ave. Band with Joe Farinelli and of course the Ken Hi Band under John Stephens.  Who can forget the fun times at Band Camp.  I must also give a shout out to our principal, Frank Oliver, who was a former music teacher. He was also the director of the New Ken Fireman's Band.  Several of us, including Fred Grau, Chuck Maorgante, had a lot of fun marching in various parades and the jam sessions afterwards.  New Ken/Arnold had a lot of great musicians.  Here's wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, and Peacful New Year in 2026. Wayne!

Thank you for your help from Fran...

Howdy Stiller fans, it's time for the Playoffs, so lets put on our LUCKY Steelers gear and root them on.  Remember Steeler nation is everywhere, even here in the heart of cowgirl country.  I would love to see a Steelers/Greenbay Super Bowl and have Aaron Rogers beat his old team.  That would be the irony of all ironies!

Wayne Schuricht

BUMMER!  Packers and Eagles are out!   Now It will have to be the Steelers and some other podunk team!!!

Wayne Schuricht

Another Bummer, no offense and the Steelers have lost another playoff game.  Time to take down the Christmas decorations and put away the Steeler gear.  Hopefully nest year will be better.
