This month, is:
The virtues of Weedsport Central School's very first "Graduate of Distinction"
The link below is about 16 minutes long,
however, very near the end of the tape, you can see and hear Dr. Parkman talk,
about how he invented the German Measles vaccine.
Note from Denny R.: (Updated)
Barr was the huge brick building now the Purple Monkey antique shop
right across from the museum and the building next door which was Weedsport Tool & Machine,
where Bob Welch's mother was the receptionist.
Actually the building started out as a textile mill,
the Security Co. which made blouses, dress goods and other fabrics.
Because of the tremendous amount of goods produced by them,
Weedsport was known as the "Shirtwaist" capital of New York State.
"We have a couple of Barr typewriters in the Old Brutus Museum,
and until I donated it to the museum,
I had my old Corona portable that I used in school.
I recently purchased new ribbons for the 2 Barrs.
I was surprised they were available.
One of the Barrs is front labeled "Macy's", obviously sold by them,
but carries the Barr build plate and s/n on the back."

Ron B. - EARTHQUAKE
He thanks us for the phone call, during our reunion.
(It was great to hear your voice, Ron - good chatting with you. Missed you.)
He did not feel anything from the FIRST earthquake,
which monitored with a magnitude of a 6.4 reading;
however this is what he said about the second earthquake,
which showed a stronger 7.1 magnitude:
"My vertical blinds moved 2-3 inches side to side
and I felt it real good sitting in my recliner.....
no damage here, but a lot of sirens
and we were100 miles from center....."

Stay safe, Ron.

The typewriter is making a small come-back:
https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/clickety-clack-back-typewriters-return-64108504
Weedsport used to have the "Barr Typewriter" company.
I think there is one of those typewriters on display at our museum.
I still have an old typewriter which I saved from a long time ago,
however, it is NOT made by BARR.
Did any of you keep your old typewriters?

Bill Babcock appreciated the gift from our class.
His gift was:
CD called "BE WELL" which is instrumental music (relgious )
and a little book of short quotes.
Also a very personalized card.
Once again, we do thank our "Sunshine Committee"
for the lovely gesture.
We wish Bill well -
And we all will miss him at the reunion,

the wonderful "Class of '57" T-shirts

That was such a super idea!
Thanks, again, Bill!

There is some information on the link below:
Carriers can charge extra for blocking
But the FCC vote today does not require carriers to deploy automatic call blocking, and it doesn't prevent carriers from charging customers extra for such services.
FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, one of two Democrats on the Republican-led commission, approved the order in part and dissented in part. She said:

Judy and Bud have sold their house.
It is a LOT of work to move!
As you know, she is taking care of the reservations,
for our reunion.
PLEASE send her the money to make your reservation,
ASAP - so she does not have to struggle with the reservations,
and they can have a head count to know how much to purchase etc.
And IF you cannot make it this year,
(sorry and we will miss you if you cannot) -
please DO STILL let her know that.
Again - so they can get an approximate head count.
Thanks VERY much to those of you who will be
considerate enough to help her out,
and she won't have to beg for the money later.

Connie
(5-16-19)
After her knee replacement operation,
I'm happy to report that Connie is out of the rehab.,
and back at home - getting rehab. at home.
In her own words below:
"I did get in rehab and got the same room I had had for both my hips
so in all stayed in same room 3 times.
They took good care of me, and I came home last Wednesday, (May 8th),
so I have been home a week from rehab.
I have been having in home therapy and they are great.
My therapist said that I am coming along, and they did a lot of extra work on my knee
because of my bone structure and arthritis, so I have some extra work to do.
Thanks so much for keeping track of me.
It seems like forever that I have been out of the house.
I have a Dr. apt. this Friday, (May 17th), and I hope I am walking with a cane by then
so I do not have to take my walker with me.
Sent my money in for the reunion week end and one for the banquet.
I guess it is slow going. Judy has a lot on her plate right now too.
Greg has been a big help coming and running all sorts of odd errands.
We had a nice mother’s day.
Alexa just came back from New York and everything is the same.
As long as the ones that were left in her lungs do not start growing,
we will be in limbo and that is ok."
Glad you are back home, Connie!
PS - Connie appreciated the nice gift from the '57ers - (Sunshine Committee)
I received a lovely little cosmetic bag, filled with many little items,
and each with a witty saying on it. Much appreciated.
Our class had also sent her a card,
which I had mentioned in an earlier bulletin posting.
Of course, Connie appreciated that also.
In addition to the ones others sent to her.

Concerning Vietnam:
I can only assume that John Bankert received the Viet Nam service medal.
I know that I did, though I did not spend anytime in the ground war.
Our job was to fly up and down the coast looking for the bad guys at sea.
I would not be surprised if Eddie Maitland spent time on the ground.
I do not know about Bob Hirons
Thank you for that information, Dick -
And also - congratulations on receiving the Vietnam Service Medal!
We ALL appreciate your service to our country.

Notre Dame - Sketch by Sue:
"Drawing of Paris from the Artist Bridge"
(4-26-19)
Please click on the thumbnail below, for a much larger view:
 |
|---|
Please read the write-up by Sue,
pertaining to the drawing above -
You can see the spire, on the "Notre Dame Cathedral",
in this drawing --
These renderings of the central skylight of the heart of Paris,
were drawn from the * "Artist Bridge", that spans the Seine River,
and takes one to the *Louvre Art Museum that houses the great art of the ages,
such as the Mona Lisa by DaVinci and the great impressionist painters
Picasso, Cezanne, Matisse, and Vincent van Gogh.
The Bridge was named the “Artist Bridge” because it seems that every artist is inspired to draw
the view from the Bridge that spans the scene.
My son, Jim, did not tell me this, until I had finished my drawing.
Last week, the horrendous fire altered this iconic view that lived thru the French Revolution, world war 1 and II ,
and was suddenly gone, as the world watched in disbelief.
The beautiful sculpture and artifacts of this Norte Dame Cathedral
was 80 percent saved from the fire that ravaged this 1160 year old structure,
although the 7 ton spire crashed into the nave of the church.
On the 2nd trip to Paris, Jim gave my drawing to owners of an apartment house where we stayed,
a block down from the drawing's location .
Jim relayed the message to me that they have made my drawing, part of their permanent art collection ,
and that they were glad to have a drawing of the Bridge closest to them .
I returned home to find that my artist magazine had an ad on the *back cover,
of an artist painting the same view which I had drawn, , to advertise their canvas.
The photos below:
*Louvre Art Museum
* The Pont des Arts or Passerelle des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine.
It links the Institut de France and the central square of the Palais du Louvre.

CONNIE
(4-25-19)
Connie had a knee replacement operation, 4-25-19.
I know we all wish her good luck, with the operation,
and also a speedy recovery, with successful results.
Liverpool, NY 13090
She requested cards to be mailed to her home address,
due to the fact that she is not sure where she will be heading,
when she can get rehab.
A friend will be checking her house every day,
and will pick up the mail for her.
Hope several of you will take the time to do that -
-- thanks to those of you, who do.

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.

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:
Grayson Cottage also has a website:

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"

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,
(Jan. 2, 2013)
or go to our "Leonardi" page on our class site:
http://joanhigham.com/Leonardi/Leonardi.html
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.
