THE BOWDENS
(July 21st)
What a pleasant surprise!
Dave Bowden called me a few nights ago,
to thank me for some (Olympic) information
I had sent to him. He enjoys sports, of course,
and in fact just recently both he and Marge
had gone out to see a baseball game,
(I think the Rays),
and really enjoyed it.
Their team won.
I asked about their little doggie Coco -
and Dave mentioned that the "puppy"
is really no longer a puppy all that much,
since it is about 7 months old.
He also mentioned that both he and Marge'
now suspect, that possibly Coco is not
a purebred 'Pug" dog -
which is what they are used to having,
since Coco is sprouting longer legs,
and becoming larger than a typical Pug would.
However, Coco is still at least a puppy at heart,
and enjoys playing, likes people,
and really enjoys sitting on their laps.
Thanks for the phone call, Dave
Hope you keep feeling better -
I know our class all send their thoughts,
prayers and best wishes to you and Marge.
Blessings to you both.

DONNA WALLACE CRIAZZO Some of you may remember Donna Wallace. |
https://www.pettigrassfuneralhome.com/obituary/Donna-Criazzo
AUBURN - Donna (Wallace) Criazzo, 86, of Auburn passed away unexpectedly Friday, June 25, 2021 in Ohio. Donna was born in Sennett, the daughter of Burton and Sadie (McNabb) Wallace. "Grandma Donna" as she was affectionately known by everyone, or "Coopie" by her nieces and nephews. Donna worked at General Electric for many years before retiring from MET LIFE. Donna had several hobbies such as, bowling, camping, square dancing, snowmobiling, country music concerts, tending to her garden, feeding and watching the birds and squirrels, watching her son's musical performances, and watching her beloved New York Yankees. She watched the Yankee's play in six different stadiums. This was all secondary to the love she had for her family. Grandma Donna enjoyed any family gathering, birthday party, holidays, or any sporting event with her grandchildren. Donna always had a close knit circle of friends. She was loved by many who appreciated her quick wit and humours jokes. She was a truly special woman that gave us many fond memories to cherish forever. She will be missed by all. She is survived by her loving children: Melanie (James) Aubin, Roxanne (Kenneth) DelFavero, Rocco (Heather) Criazzo; grandchildren: Thomas (Kiley), Michele, Sam (Georgia), Jolene (Mike), Andrew (Amber), and Joseph; great grandchildren: Kayla, Alivia, Mia, Alexandra, Max, and Leah; a sister, Barbara (Ross) Sheperd of KS, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins; her special friend Beverly; and her beloved cat Gracie. She was predeceased by her husband, Rocco and sister, Rosemary Busey. A calling hour for family and friends was held on Monday, July 12, 2021 from 10-10:45 a.m. in St. Alphonsus Church with her Mass of Christian burial immediately followed at 11:00 a.m. with the Rev. Louis Vasile as celebrant. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Matthew House. Arrangements by Pettigrass Funeral Home. |

Update on Denny Randall
(7-15-21)
| Hi - No improvement, but at least it's not worse. lol The cellulitis took 3 trips to the hospital, a shot in the butt, an iv drip and 17 days of Keflex but that got the best of that. I really thought I would end up like my dad using a prosthetic leg. |
Gee, very disappointing, Denny.
Sure do hope you can start feeling better, soon.
| PS -Denny is scheduled for another DC Conversion (procedure/operation) on August 12th. |

Denny Randall - Update
(July 2nd)
| It didn't do the job--they're going to try again Aug. 12. Meanwhile at least the cellulitis is resolving nicely. They ended up tweaking my pacemaker, and reducing some of my medication for the time being. Betty's surgery was successful, but they did not get all the cancer, so she is having to do some chemo. I've been watching with amazement the goings on in Surfside-- how is this possible in this country today, that they could be so derelict in their responsibilities? As you might, or might not remember, that was what I did for a living---Plant Engineer-- if I had seen a supporting beam spalled like the one the pool maintenance guy photographed a couple of days before the collapse, I would have run out of the building! All this ho-cum about salt air, etc, etc, is nonsense--- when they get all said and done they will note that it was leakage from the highly chlorinated pool that permeated the concrete, rusted out the rebars and caused the spalling and subsequent failure. What a horrible and totally preventable tragedy. Best always dr |

UPDATE
On Denny Randall - 6-20-21
| I'm hanging in there, although the ablation was successful, it did not help, so now I'm scheduled the 1st of July to have a DC conversion (again) to try to establish normal sinus beat. On top of everything else I'm dizzy quite often and lose my balance--- long story short, the day after I had the ablation I took a fall in the garage, barked up one leg badly and ended up back in the hospital with cellulitis, which required an iv drip of antibiotics. That now seems to be clearing up, but this is hard work! For the 1st time in 20 years I missed my newspaper deadline. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, cards and visits. |
Denny, I know we all send you our best wishes, thoughts and prayers, for you to get well soon.

Dave and Marge
really appreciate your thoughts,

and do thank you for them.
As we know, Dave had Covid 19,
and has lost 60 pounds.
The Doctors now feel
that the cause of his passing out
has been a combination of several medical issues,
including Parkinson's Disease, and kidney disease.
Marge, too, has trouble with her back and knees.
They are enjoying being in their apartment,
and often go to the prepared meals together, when possible.

Below, is one she remembers only partially,

********
| Let me call you sweet-heart, I'm in love with your auto-mo-bile. Let me hear you whis-per, That, you'll buy the gas-o-line. Keep those head-lights burning, And your hands upon the wheel. Let me call you sweet-heart, I'm in love, with your auto-mo-bile. |
Thanks for your contribution, Phyl!
Here is one song I remember:
Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,

Can anybody think of other songs we used to sing?

NOTE FROM DICK BROWN:
(JULY 28, 2020)
********************
I am doing well - feel good, but they will not let me lift any more then the weight of a gallon of milk. My oncologist and my surgeon decided that I need to have chemo therapy. I started last week and will have 4 cycles. I will also get neulasta starting Thursday. I am also going on a drug to help my bone marrow produce more platelets. So far I have had only one bad day (knock on wood). When you have both cancer and anemia it sucks. If my platelets get too low they will stop the chemo. I want to get this over with and get on with life. I am sure every cancer patient feels the same way. We have a couple of people in this park that are a heck of a lot worse shape then I am. |
We are so glad the operation is over with,
and you are feeling well.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
for you to have good results, and success
with the treatments you are receiving.
Hang in there, - we are pulling for you!

Note from Sue:
(Nov. 16, 2018)
I am sharing a harvest of iPad art that I was able to publish into cards.
( I'm gathering up stones), and I am still trying to fulfill my yearbook of '57 dream,
of becoming a grandma Moses... (at least the age is right).
I am so excited to be selling my art as stationery cards
in gift shops in Skaneatles and other locations,
and also selling them privately to friends and others,
after iPad presentations to different groups.
Art does not exist until it is shared with others to be enjoyed.
Art is that kind of gift that I treasure in my life.

Finally!
And at long last -
I am starting a NEW "Directory3" page for us -
The old one still has the links on it,
which DO work, and are up to date, (the links),
however, I have not been able to change a thing
on the old actual Directory page for several years now.
I don't know why the new information will not upload to the net.
So I finally had to give up trying to do that,
and just start from scratch with a brand new "Directory3" Page.
It will take me a long time to complete it.
But I do think it will be worth while.

I'm pleased to tell you our landscape architect came last week,
and installed the brick order.
The area is still a little sandy from the installation,
we will get all of the sand cleared off if rain doesn't take care of it.
I'm attaching a photo of the brick and a photo of the area as a whole.
Thanks again for participating in the brick garden project.
What a lovely and lasting tribute to your class of a lifetime!

Bob Leonardi
has written an article in the Auburn Newspaper -

Potato with Oregano
Sauteed Steak

This is a book created completely by Sue -
All of the poetry, and artwork were composed and originated by Sue.
I feel this book is particularly interesting to folks to have lived, (or do live),
in the town of Weedsport, since so many of the artworks portray Weedsport,
as do the little poems accompanying each painting.
This is a clean-cut book, you can read to your grandchildren;
Or if they are old enough to read, they will enjoy reading it themselves.
A great gift idea for many occasions:
Children in a hospital, Sunday School, Weedsport elementary School,
dog lovers, (particularly Min-Pins), - since the book is based around
a dog named "Lilli", and her best friend "Willy" who is a clown.
They share many happy experiences together, through the different seasons, and holidays.
Each page you turn, will have a poem on the left side, and the corresponding artwork on the right side.
Easy reading - I would say quite large print.
You can read more about the book at the link above -
Great job, Sue!!

Scholarship Fund --
$4057.57
Note from the Prez.:
(Nov. 29, 2007)
I am pleased to report that today
I have turned over to the WCS Alumni Association
the sum of $4057.57 in the name of the class of ' 57.
Whadda Class!!
Thanks to all who participated in the project
and especially to Alicia
who handled the fund raising
in the face of some very trying personal times.
The Alumni Association typically gives
5 scholarships yearly totaling $2500.00 ,
so you can easily see how big an impact
a donation of this size helps the program.
By the way, this is the second largest donation
ever received by the association
and by far the largest ever given by a class.
Thanks again to all.
