Realizing in our hearts, that Weedsport will always be our home.

Awwwww - I bet that was fun, Phyl and Ron.
I'm sure some of our classmates remember your brother,
and possibly your sister.
Yes, "Weedsport" sure is still "Home" to many of us-
Even if it is just in our hearts.
Thanks for sharing!

Newspapers, in today's world:
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.
(Per Denny R. - thanks, Denny)

Denny has written an interesting article for the Auburn Citizen Newspaper.
You can read it there, or here on our Weedsport History Page.
http://joanhigham.com/WeedsportHistory/WeedsportHistory2.html
This month, is:
"Water, Water Everywhere!"
Denny writes:
"I was reminded of several severe floods here locally over the years.
The last one was 1959, and it was the final straw."
On our page, Denny shows a photo of the Sanford 3 engine -
and says this about it:
"After the village finally retired it in 1962,
Doc Goodwin bought it for a small sum,
and it sat outside his "Port 40 " motel as advertising for many years.
When Doc died, his family donated it to the American Museum of Firefighting,
where I happened to be Curator for 13 years.
We spent over $34,000 restoring it to concourse condition."
***
And to this day - It. Looks. Beautiful!
Also please note, that in his article,
he will be giving a presentation
on April 11th -
at the O'Hara Ag Museum,
on the Burma-Shave signs.
I remember that aritcle by Denny,
was a very big hit!
Also ---
"On the 2nd Thursday of the month,
various programs under the auspices of Martha Shaw,
are presented at the O'Hara Ag Museum.
I was scheduled to present a program on Burma-Shave signs,
on Jan. 10th, but we got snowed out.
I will now make the presentation on April 11th at 6:00
and with any luck at all, the snow will be long gone!"

Sent us some photos -
"The Great American Race"
(2-20-19)
Phyl says:
The pictures with the cars, is the Great American Race - the Daytona 500, Sunday, Feb. 17.
Quite an experience. But decided it was for younger people.
Had a great time, though.
Photo # 4 shows Dale Earnhart's car, now driven by Bowman, since Dale retired.
The picture of the planes were Air Force Fighter Jets.
They fly over the races at the end of singing the National Anthem.
Greatest feeling, just unexplainable. It was beautiful.
Photo # 5, shows the Treehouse Restaurant, where we had dinner,
Saturday night - a unique place.
Photo #6, shows the sunset over Gulf of Mexico from Bradenton Beach.
Photo # 7, is the sunrise from motel in Ormond beach, just north of Daytona.

Sue:
I thought Sue put a very pretty,
artistic slant on this weather:
“ In this Arctic world, one must remember
the warm sun on one’s back is not just a fantasy.
It is simply away for a season.
And the beauty of the sun on the snow
is going to happen in good old February,
when one can smell the spring air returning to this frigid land.
It really is glorious, especially the lavenders and blue shadows
on the sweeping blankets of shifting snow”

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.

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!

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.
