A special recognition, and thank you,
to the members of our great class of '57,
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!

On Nov. 11, 1918,
an armistice between the U.S.-led Allied nations,

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.

The following day —
after Daylight Saving time concludes —
sunset is more than an hour earlier at 4:46 p.m.

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,

"New York Autumn Lakeside"

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.

| My throat is sore as hell as they decided to shove an endo-trachial tube down into my lungs to check for blood clots--- finding none, they finally proceeded with the main event, at 1:30 pm, 5 hours after I had arrived there. I also have the usual 4 inch circles of severe sunburn front and back, however I'm in NSR ! I have to take it easy for a couple of weeks to make sure it takes, but it sure is nice not to be gasping for air . Thanks to EVERYONE FOR THEIR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!!! dr |

MORE HAPPY NEWS:
FROM JUDY LOFFT
(8-31-21)
We were blessed with another little great grandson in June (no. 8), Little story.....Bud's real name is Seymour Kenneth Lofft, (named after his grandfather), but has always been known as Bud or Ken. Scott (our grandson, baby's dad) has always been real close to Bud. .....Was with him all the time when he was little. Scott told me they were naming the baby Logan Seymour Lofft, but didn't tell Bud. Well, needless to say, Bud was so surprised and very happy when he found out !!! Logan was born with a cleft lip & palate....they found out a few months into the pregnancy from an ultra sound that he had this problem. He has had one operation at 2 mo. old & will have to have a few more over a period of time. So difficult to see your little gr. grandson with this problem but it looks better after just the one. He still has to be fed thru a tube but he's gaining weight, Thank goodness!

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.

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!

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

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:

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.
