Welcome, Class of '57!

July 3rd, 2019

 

Hi, class -

We had a good time at the reunion -

all 3 days were great!

It was great seeing those of you who were able to attend!

---------------------------------------------

The first of our festivities, was kicked off on Friday night.

We met at "Devaney's Riverside Grill",
at 6:00 PM, Friday the 21st of June, in Weedsport.

In attendance, were:

We all individually chose a selection from their menu -
and everybody was pleased with their food.

You also could help yourself to anything on their salad bar.

We all enjoyed chatting together.

************************

The next day, Saturday, June 22nd,
we had the Masonic Tample for the entire day,
and an array of things which we did there.

The first event for the day, was a wonderful luncheon.

We had:

 

  • Cornell Chicken
  • Salt Potatoes
  • Macaroni & Cheese
  • Baked Beans
  • Cole Slaw
  • Pickles
  • Fresh Fruit Bowl
  • Rolls & Butter
  • Cake

 

Denny made the beans & pickles, Judy made the fruit bowl,

Connie made the cake,

The Cornell chicken, cole slaw, salt potatoes and macaroni & cheese
were provided by Auburn Poultry,
which is owned by Denny's former neighbor and Weedsport alumnus,
Lance Walters (Ardyce Partelow's grandson)

Everything was delicious!

*************

After we finished eating, we had a memorial service,
for passed classmates,
mostly concentrating on Joni Wethey Jones,
who was the most recent loss for our class.

Joni Jones

We sat in a circle, and one by one,
each of us told of a little remembrance,
we have of her.

We ALL miss her.

Bruce was in charge of that event,
and did a magnificent job.

(Thank you Bruce.)

A few hours later, we went to the Alumni Banquet,
at the Weedspor Jr. Sr. High School.

On each table, they showed the Treasurer's Report.
along with other information.

Denny noticed that our Class of '57,
contributed the highest amount
