Note from Denny Randall
(1-7-2022)
My health is again marginal from CHF and I'm scheduled to be back in Upstate Hospital on the 31st of this month for yet another ablation, after which I expect that within a couple of weeks I'll have to go back in for another DC conversion. |
We wish you the very best of luck,
with your up-coming "procedure", Denny.
We hope they can "fix you up",
so you feel much better again.

Ron Berry - 1-8-22)
I received a phone call from Ron this afternoon -
He sounds great!
He enjoys where he is living,
but misses his best pal "Dooley".
He has a big photo of Dooley, in his room,
and also on his computer.
He can't cook in his room -
only has a microwave and small refrigerator,
so he goes to the lunch room,
where the residents pick out what they would like to eat,
and he eats it there, rather than bringing it all back to his room.
He mentioned that his room is way down the hallway,
pretty much as far away as you can get from the cafeteria.
He frequently takes a little ride around his outdoor area,
using his little ("scooter??)- a few times a day.
Thankfully right now they don't have any "Covid" in his facility.
Ron prefers a phone call rather than e-mail.
If you phone him, please remember he is in a different time zone.
He would love to hear from you!

RON BERRY
(12-18-2021)
I was so happy to receive a telephone call,
from Ron Berry today.
He sounds great!
He really doesn't have any medical issues,
other than the very poor circulation in his legs,
which limits his walking quite a bit.
But he has his little scooter to get around.
Basically he is doing well.
He mentioned that he hasn't had a "drink", since 1989.
Good for him. 
He has had all of his Covid and booster shots.
Ron likes living where he is,
and raves about the food.
He loves their apple pies,
and they fix them several different ways.
The temperature in his area usually runs
from the 30's and 40's during the nights,
up to around 75 during the day.
**************
Ron says he misses you all,
and that he wishes you all,
A very merry Christmas!

who are still with us,
and served in the service ---
They include:

*Previously, I had listed Bob Welch.
However, he was in the national guards,
and you are not considered a veteren in the National Guards
until you have served at least 20 years in it.
So he didn't think he deserved to be listed in this particular listing.
He gave credit, to all the others who do, however.
Here is what Bob wrote:
Thanks Joan... however I was only in the national guards (a toy soldier) , not the real military like my classmates! One meeting a month and two weeks in summer. I served my 6 years between the two times my unit was activated. Joined first meeting when they returned from Fallsburg France (the Berlin crisis) and got out the last meeting before the unit was activated and sent to Clovis NM where pilots were retrained on new planes.

Well, we also DO thank you for your service
for our country, in the National Guards, Bob!

Today, 11-11-21, is Veterans Day,
as well as the 100th anniversary
of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,
the landmark at Arlington National Cemetery,
honoring military personnel killed in action
who have never been identified.

The origins of Veterans Day,
come from the end of World War I.
On Nov. 11, 1918,
an armistice between the U.S.-led Allied nations,
and Germany, went into effect
on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. ..
It was then that the day - Nov. 11 -
was officially recognized as the date of the holiday.

Denny sent us some photos which he recently took,
of the "Vietnam Veteran's Memorial".
This is the Cayuga County Vietnam Veterans Memorial
in Centerport Aqueduct Park
at 2462 Route 31
in the town of Brutus.
These are good up-to-date pictures,
however, on several of the photos,
the print is so tiny,
that is it very difficult and almost impossible
to read the print.

Cell phone -
I learned the hard way -
I have been without my cell phone for almost a few weeks, now.
I THOUGHT something must have become bent on it,
since I could see a lot of light coming through the side slot.
I took it to "Battery & Bulbs", who repair cell phones,
and they knew right away what the problem was.
A swollen battery!
It can happen to most any cell phone, I think,
and also to your computer as well.
This is not a photo of my phone, - mine was MUCH worse, actually.
Below, is a link, which does not take long to read -
I think you will find it interesting,
and might save you a lot of problems, some day.

The above, is a painting which Sue did.
"New York Autumn Lakeside"
Cross Lake
She mailed the card to me, hard copy.
She also mailed to me, a very pretty painting,
which she painted, on an additional card.
It is so very pretty, with a sailboat on it.
"Smooth-Sailing"
Skaneateles Lake
If you look very closely,
you can read the words "Smooth Sailing",
written in red on the side of the boat.
The photo above does not do the picture on the hard copy justice, really.
Much more colorful on the actual, hard copy card.

Also, our Sunshine Committe sent (Sympathy) cards to Stan and Gordie.
Connie sent a white rose to the funeral home in advance, from us,
but she was not able to attend, (on time), due to the fact
that that bus that turned over, near the Weedsport exit,
prevented her from being able to get to the services on time.
However, 3 hours later, she did get to see Gordie, Stan., and Alan.
Gordie appreciated it.

Dave and Marge
really appreciate your thoughts,
prayers and cards very much,
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.
Please keep your thoughts, prayers and cards coming:

REMEMBER --
Back when we used to say:
"A picture is worth a thousand words"?
Well - things may have changed.
With this new program,
you can change your still, old snapshot photos,
into a moving photo!
Honestly - it is really just like magic!

DAVE BOWDEN
(1-26-2021)
Dave and Marge have a new address:
4100 East Fletcher Ave.
Apt. 813
Tampa, Fl. 33613
This is an assisted living home -
Marge says it is very nice.
It is a Lutheran Home,
and used to be, John Knox Village
For now, Marge is in the apartment,
and Dave is in the rehab. building,
which is right next to their apartment.
Dave is still having a hard time - falling a lot.
This started back in October.
So far, the doctors have not been able to come up with a diagnosis.
Unfortunately, Marge is unable to visit Dave at this time,
since Dave has contracted Covid-19.
We ALL hope and pray that Dave will get healthier very soon -
And in the meantime - they sure could stand some
thoughts, prayers and cards.

Printed newspapers are all on hard times, and just yesterday, (4-5-19),
the Citizen announced that it will no longer be printing their own paper daily.
They are going to have it printed in Canandaigua and truck it to Auburn, daily.
There is no longer a Pennysaver, or Inport type paper locally.

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.

These are some of the classmates standing in front of Sue's house,
where Sue, Connie, Lorna & Marcella hosted a most superb party !

Wish he could have been in the picture, though.
That sure was a wonderful (reunion) party!!
Thanks to Sue, Connie, Lorna and Marcie!

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.

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"

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,

or go to our "Leonardi" page on our class site:

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.
