If anyone has photos they are willing to share,
I sure would appreciate it, if you would kindly send those to me -

Thanks!

Sister Phyllis:

Watch Phyllis say her speech at our Alumni Banquet:

Denny Randall has written an interesting article, for the Auburn Pub. Newspaper. Denny's newspaper article - Denny did not give it a title. I call it "Wurlitzer Organ" (June, 2018) This is the article Denny wrote, for the Auburn Citizen Newspaper, However, if you do not have access to the newspaper, you may click the link (2) below and read it on our class site, (the link for the "Page 2" of "Weedsport History"). http://joanhigham.com/WeedsportHistory/WeedsportHistory2.html ************************************************* Below, is another message from Phyllis: Act Now Before It's Too Late House Poised to Act on More Anti-Immigrant Policies   Dear Phyllis, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and President Donald Trump are wreaking havoc at our border and across our nation. Their 'zero-tolerance policy' that has torn 2,000 children from the arms of their parents in the past month is heartbreaking. This is the latest anti-immigrant move from the same administration that ended DACA for Dreamers months ago. Family separation goes against everything we as people of faith believe. It goes against who we are as a nation. The separation of parents from their children is unconscionable. And, these policies are indisputably the result of the administration. As the Trump Administration continues to implement these terrible policies that tear apart the fabric of our society, pressure is mounting for Congress to act. As recently as last week, it appeared possible for Congress to reach a bipartisan solution that provided a path to citizenship for Dreamers. As our family separation crisis at the border grows more desperate, bipartisan immigration negotiations have fallen apart and Republican leadership has doubled down on a partisan approach.  Call your Representative now at 1-888-436-6478 to oppose bad, partisan immigration bills coming for a vote this week. Tell your Representative that you want real, bipartisan solutions to family separation and a pathway to citizenship for DACA recipients. The House of Representatives could vote as early as this week on two different bills: an ultra-conservative “Goodlatte Bill” and a bill that is being peddled as a “moderate compromise” but is in actuality a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Speaker Ryan and the Trump Administration are lying when they say that either of these bills will resolve the issue of family separation at the border and address a solution for DACA recipients in our nation. Time is of the essence—the House of Representatives could vote as early as this Wednesday.

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

I cannot emphasize enough what a critical time this is on Capitol Hill.

Please call your Representative, share this email with your friends and family,
and do everything else you can to reach your members of Congress now.

Sincerely,
Sister Simone Campbell, SSS
Executive Director

P.S. In case you missed it, watch and share this video of my message to Jeff Sessions opposing his policy of family separation.

It’s also on Twitter!

I wish I could have gotten to this sooner -

(Although I think it has been on our bulletin board,
since June first.)

Phyllis put a remembrance in her "Just Us" this week.

I hope most of you have already read it on Facebook -
but for the few of us who still do not use Facebook,
you can read it here:

Connie went to the calling hours,
for Denny's brother, timothy.

She brought a lovely white rose,
in a single vase, to represent our class,
and let Denny know we all were thinking of him,
at this very sad time.

Some of our other classmates were in attendance also.

Most of you saw this photo, in the Weedsport Alumni Associan pamphlet,
which they mailed to us, so we could read and see it,
and also fill out, and mail in
our reservations to go to the Alumni Banquet and dinner,
on Saturdya, June 16th.

The doors open at 5:15 PM, for registration and social hour.
then dinner will be served at 6:30 PM.

Hope most of you plan to attend, and will be wearing our "Class of '57" green shirts.

This photo was in the pamphlet, and photo was taken at the banquet, last year:

Our green class shirts-

Here we are wearing them 4 years ago (2014)

If any of our classmates, have photos of our class members,

stay there, and are not returned.

"I got home ok and had a wonderful time with Marvella."

Actually, I don't know if "Marvella" is a new nick name

WOW!

OUR SUNSHINE cOMMITTEE SURE HAS BEEN BUSY,

OVER THE YEARS --

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR PAGE LATELY??

(Click on the icon below, or the link below to see it)

http://www.joanhigham.com/SunshineFund/SunshineFund.html

The most recent activity,
was for Joni Wethey Jones -

We've sent sympathy cards to: 

Cliff Jones and Family, and Janice Compton,

as well as a $50.00 contribution to the American Cancer Society.

Our class certainly does appreciate all of the time and work
which it takes, to accomplish all the things that they (Sunshine Committee) do.

They send personalized cards, a wide variety of gifts,
(some even home-made), flowers at (some) visitation services,
and many other things, in a very thoughtful and timely manner.

Thank you, Sunshine Committee!

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

Our (tiny) class get-together -

Feb. 12th, 2018 -

It was unusually small this year -
unfortunately, there were several who were unable to attend,
due to reasons beyond their control.

However, we did have Bob and Barb. Welch,
Barb. Ryan, Bruce and Kathy Christopher,
Ron and Phyl. Abrams, and myself.

We went on a boat ride at Clearwater Beach,
and had a lunch buffet there.

Several of us went up to the open top deck,
and saw the pretty view
of the beautiful Clearwater Beach, and Gulf of Mexico water.

It was very windy, up there - but good weather, thankfully!

After that - We went on a golf cart,
and rode around the roads,
pretty much in the same area as we had the little cars,
last year, in the Clearwater Beach area.

Our thanks to Bruce and Kathy for driving the cart!

Remember this?

These are some of the classmates standing in front of Sue's house,
where Sue, Connie, Lorna & Marcella hosted a most superb party !
( This great photo was submitted by Denny Salisbury - THANKS, DENNY ! )
Wish he could have been in the picture, though.

That sure was a wonderful (reunion) party!!

Thanks to Sue, Connie, Lorna and Marcie!

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

Of course, Sue has moved out of that house,
and now lives in Camillus.

Recently there was an article written in the Auburn Newspaper,
and this is what the house looks like now:

 

Grayson's Cottage is a specialty store, selling handmade unique and antique gifts in Weedsport.

You can read the story which is in the Auburn Newspaper, at this link:

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.

The NEW "DIRECTORY3" page:

Our class of '57 "Brick" -

(Aug. 6th, 2015)

A note from Cheryl Austin, who is the "Director" of the Weedsport Library:

 

"Hi Joan and Denny,

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!

Regards,
Cheryl Austin"

Please click on 3 thumbnails below, for much LARGER views:

 

 

I think it looks verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice!

Thank you to Cheryl Austin, Director of the Weedsport Library,
and to all others who helped to make this "beautiful memory" happen!

Mike Randall

(Denny's Son)

(April 23rd, 2015)

Mike has written a very impressive article.

"A Diversified Collection"

He has a HUGE collection of toy trucks,
of all shapes, sizes and ages.

I can assure you, that you have never seen such a collection
of this size.

Great article and great photos!

Pacific Ocean takes perilous turn --

Ocean acidification threatens to scramble marine life on a scale almost too big to fathom.

"Shell Games"

Craig is a very talented and informative writer, indeed!

Bob Leonardi

has written an article in the Auburn Newspaper -

"In Cooking, Practice Does Make Perfect."

He includes 2 recipes:

Potato with Oregano

Sauteed Steak

You can click on the link below to read it on-line,

http://www.lilliandwilly.com/

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.
