2005 Notes and Comments

Sponsors. We received contributions from several classmates who cannot attend the reunion - Cass Swamba, Gary Southwell, Mike Selwa, Sue Carver Kurzyniec, Sandy Diehl Kelly and Mary Lou Cody.

Al O'Brien sends his regards to all. He won't be able to make the reunion since he is babysitting contractors working on his pool and spa. 

Tom Hill updated his bio. Both he and Karen are looking forward to the gathering of Blue Knights and spouses with great anticipation!!!

Alice Gates will attend.  Unfortunately her updated bio hasn't arrived yet due to a certain amount of deafness on the part of Bill Lubaway's internet vendor.  #@$$#%^&*^!

We caught up with Dominic Piestrak too late to change his travel plans. He sends his regards to the classmates. He's looking forward to our 50th reunion.

Mary Lou Cody says "Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend and will miss seeing everyone." 

Cass Swamba will attend the reunion -- apparently because he doesn't have a life as per the Registration Form.

Betty Thome Landini has joined the Reunion Committee and is busy arranging the menu. In our haste to get away for vacation, I left her name off the mailing we sent last week. Sorry about that. 

Bob Kubinec writes to say, "We are looking forward to the Reunion on Saturday the 24th time seems to have flown by since our last meeting. I hope everyone is still healthy and well." See his Bio and email updates.

Tom Hill called and said that not only is he not retired but he has taken a new position. Check his bio for his new email address.

Tom Burton called from Phoenix, Arizona to say he cant make it to the class reunion. "I hope you guys have a great time." He was just here last month for his family reunion.

Pat Molitor Brummel is still living in Wisconsin in the same home she built with with her husband 34 years ago. Her husband has since died and all of their children have left the nest. She is busier than ever and hopes that everyone else is also. "I hope there is a good turnout for the reunion and that everyone has an enjoyable time. If a booklet is being put together or a website being established with info on everyone I would very much like to be included with the recipients. My best wishes to all of the class of '60."

Joe Harlow will not be able to make the reunion since he will be in Alberta, Canada moose and elk hunting.

Janet Totcky Rivette 

Tom and Karen Hill are marrying off their 4th daughter, Kelli, within the next year and the reunion weekend happens to be one of the possible dates the engaged couple may select. So, maybe they will attend the reunion. During the past year they traveled to Key West and visited some of our Florida classmates along the way.

I'm fine, still enjoy going to work every day. Have season ticket for the UH football games ~ always good fun.

    Sandy Diehl Kelly 

Dom and Karen Dean are spending a couple of months in Costa Rica during the time that the reunion is scheduled. So, they will not be able to attend.

Dave Sampica called in mid-2004 to say that we, in fact, had his correct address. He was retiring and moving to Oregon. He mentioned that he had several kids and grandchildren and had joined the wide part club. Then he moved and we didn't get his forwarding address.

I’m so sorry, but I won’t be able to make the reunion. I have one home visit a year, & I’ve already got it scheduled for later this month. I wish I could have made it. It would be good to see all of you again. Say hello to everyone for me. One of these times my timing will be better, & I’ll be able to make. Thanks,

Michael Harrington

THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME  I AM RETIRED AND LIVE IN SEAL BEACH CA. 
TOM GATES

I have been planning to attend the All Class reunion with my sister this fall. So, the timing works great.

I lost my wife about 16 months ago to cancer. We found out about it a month after I retired. We were just beginning to make our retirement plans like figuring out where to live. Don't put off doing what you want to do because you don't ever know how much time you have.

Tom Morasky
