Denny Randall -

Nooooo - a tree did NOT fall on Denny's house.
However, they had a very bad windstorm recently,
and a huge tree fell right in front of his tractor shed -
I will let you read what he wrote in his own words:
"We had a SEVERE windstorm last week
with much tree damage around the village,
including a 20 inch by 40 foot Boxelder
that fell in my back yard,
missing my tractor shed by inches,
which was the good news.
The bad news was, it fell directly across in front of the doors,
so I couldn't even get anything out.
To the rescue came my brother Phil
with flatbed trailer, chainsaw, polesaw, etc.
It took us 2 days working like hell to get it cut up
and moved around out of the way.
We hauled 3 big trailers of brush up to the street
and the village is going to chip it tomorrow.
Oh by the way, when the tree came down
it came through the 44,000 volt high tension lines
that follow the old trolley right of way through my back yard-
-that was spectacular--
no power, telephone, tv, or internet for quite a while.
I'm too old for this kind of excitement."
dr
*******
Boy - sure sorry that happened, Denny,
but glad you did not get hurt,
and you did not get damage to your house or tractor shed.

Sister Phyllis Tierney with Sister Jean Rodman, ~
Celebrating 60 years as an SSJ
 |
Dear Classmates, I have to confess that 60 years seems unreal! When we look back we realize how quickly that time has gone. Think about your own life experiences! Some of you have been married for the same length of time or more, I believe! I am grateful to all of you! These days have been busy as we try to keep up with world events and local ones! Please pray for an end to the racial unrest in Rochester as well as the rest of our nation! Blessings to all, |
www.facebook.com/SistersofSaintJosephofRochester
Congratulations, Phyllis -
We are all so proud of you and happy for you!

Phyllis Tierney This year marks the 60th Anniversary of Phyllis joining the Sisters of St. Joseph of Rochester! |
|---|
It's hard to believe that it has been so long. The note below was written by her sister Janet. |
|---|
I wish we could all be together to join her in celebration of this remarkable achievement. Her Community is having a very low key, virtual celebration of all the Sisters who are celebrating Jubilees on September 8. I would love to honor and celebrate her with our family and friends by noting the occasion with cards, notes, calls or videos. If you have photos that you would like to share, (relating to Phyllis's highlights as to her last 60 years as a sister), please copy and email them to me or send them directly to me at 359 Kelsey Park Circle, Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. 33410. Her mailing address is 240 Mulberry Street, Rochester, N. Y. 14620. Her email is: ptierney@ssjrochester.org It has been quite a journey she has undertaken in these 60 years. From the earliest days of teaching young children in her habit and wimple to embracing the fight for justice and equality for people everywhere! It has taken her from a time in the Catholic church which restricted her movements anywhere out of the convent to traveling to Northern Ireland, Central and South America and the USA as a Nun On The Bus in her concern for others. I am so proud of her! Janet Kranich |
|---|
What a happy celebration that will be!
In the Catholic Church,
a jubilee is a special year of remission
of sins and universal pardon. ...
Catholic jubilees, particularly in the Latin Church,
generally involve pilgrimage to a sacred site,
normally the city of Rome.
The most distinctive feature in the ceremonial of the jubilee
is the unwalling and the final walling up of the "holy door"
in each of the four great basilicas which the pilgrims are required to visit.
The doors are opened by the pope at the beginning of the jubilee,
and then sealed up again afterwards.
I hope several of us will be able to view this memorative occasion!
Our Congratulations to you, Phyllis!
Apparently there is only going to be a
mass broadcast on Facebook live on the eighth.
Even those who are being celebrated with jubilees
will not be able to attend in person!
So there isn’t really much to see
but I know she would much appreciate
having friends send notes, cards, and/or emails!
We are waiting to get more information,
as to the time and so forth - please check back --
Here is the e-mail address for sending photos to Janet:

Thursday, the Calvary Food Pantry held an Appreciation Brunch for all of the volunteers that have helped during the COVID 19 closedown period. Alicia, along with each of them, received small gifts . In addition, the Roses were from another volunteer who was celebrating the centennial of the passing of the 19th Amendment of the US Constitution passed on August 19, 1920. The country formed in 1776 never allowed women to vote. This Amendment allowed WOMEN to VOTE for the first time. Martha, another volunteer, had these lovely home grown roses which she gave to each of the women present to honor the 19th Amendment. |

Meet Martha - Distributing the roses:
Alicia - We DO thank you for all the time and work you dedicate
to helping the people in Auburn, who I'm sure appreciate
the much needed helping hands, at this particularly difficult time.
VERY NICE!
Below is a cartoon, sent to us by Alicia:
Also - Our Thanks to Sue for contributing the information to us,

NOTE FROM DICK BROWN:
(JULY 28, 2020)
********************
I am doing well - feel good, but they will not let me lift any more then the weight of a gallon of milk. My oncologist and my surgeon decided that I need to have chemo therapy. I started last week and will have 4 cycles. I will also get neulasta starting Thursday. I am also going on a drug to help my bone marrow produce more platelets. So far I have had only one bad day (knock on wood). When you have both cancer and anemia it sucks. If my platelets get too low they will stop the chemo. I want to get this over with and get on with life. I am sure every cancer patient feels the same way. We have a couple of people in this park that are a heck of a lot worse shape then I am. |
We are so glad the operation is over with,
and you are feeling well.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
for you to have good results, and success
with the treatments you are receiving.
Hang in there, - we are pulling for you!

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.

Some of our classmates have reported that their e-mails to Carol Rhoades,
have been kicking back, due to an incorrect address.
Others have either gone through, or at least have not kicked back so far.
If I can get more information on this, I will let you know.
Does anyone have a different address for her?

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:
This has been sold again. 2019

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.
