Major Update for Reunion

Published on by Linda McConnellLeave a comment

PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO ACKNOWLEGE YOU HAVE RECEIVED!!!!!

Due to a wonderful response to our upcoming 60th Reunion it has become necessary to change the start time of the reunion to 4:00PM – 9:00PM.  

This change has become necessary because the room originally book is too small to accommodate the number of people we have coming.  We will now be in the upper room of the Clubhouse.  If you are not able to do stairs or have problems walking to the upper area there will be a drop off area at the door to the upper room.  If you are doing the driving and cannot walk to the upper area, we will have a golf cart ready to take you.

Again I remind you all, we are planning a Friday evening get together at the Greenhouse Winery from 6:00 to 9:00.  We have rented a tent for the class. There will be food trucks there and beer & wine as well as soft drinks available for sale.  We can bring snacks but no drinks of any kind.  The evening will be entertained by “The Wally Ginger Orchestra”  Each person is responsible for his or hers own costs.

PLEASE BE SURE TO RESPOND AND LET US KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND FRIDAY EVENING AS WELL!!!!

Please contact me or Sandy if you have any questions

We the committee apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause any of you

The comeback of NORWIN 65 Lunch was successful once again. We had 26 join us for lunch at Siena at Norwin. The food was wonderful and the company was even better. Before lunch was over there were many requests to repeat at Siena’s next month. Enjoy the pictures and start planning to attend next month on August 19th.

As Promised

We’re Back!!!

As promised, the Norwin Class of ‘65 FINALLY got our monthly lunches restarted! We met at Abruzzi’s Restaurant June 17th for a most delightful afternoon.
Can you believe we had 33 join us for a great day of good food and real conversations. The consensus was it felt so wonderful to be able to see, hug and talk to everyone after such a long time with no interactions.

For those of you who couldn’t join us for the fun, I am including some photos of the crowd. It was a definite record setting afternoon. I hope to see you ALL back next month at a location to be announced.

The Year of the Pandemic

Published on by Linda McConnellLeave a comment

We don’t have to say much before there is at least a 90% agreement that the past 14-15 months has been one of the worst periods any of us have lived through. The class of 1965 abandoned our monthly lunches after February 2020. I personally grew tired of putting yet another picture on the “In Memory” page. Since the beginning we have lost 12 of our classmates. A few died of Covid, or complications. Others were taken by cancer. All were equally devastating.

It seems now that we are seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel. That brings us to getting the monthly lunches started again. I will be talking to Rodney’s Restaurant to set up lunch for June 17th beginning around 11:30. I would appreciate it if you could reply by email or by replying to the blog on the website. I will need a count on how many will be attending.

In closing, the classmates we lost over the last 15 months were:

  • Diane Kennell Smetak, April 5, 2020
  • Michael Shivey, April 6, 2020
  • Wayne Davis, May 20, 2020
  • Linda Adams Johnston, August 16, 2020
  • Don Morrison, August 29, 2020
  • Judy Findle Martin, September 6, 2020
  • Raymond Eichelberger, September 9, 2020
  • Alex Cantini, November 30, 2020
  • Sharon Little Yoder, January 26, 2021
  • Sharon Gardner Robinson, February 17, 2021
  • Leslie Harvath, March 31, 2021
  • Dick Lobaugh, May 19, 2021

Rest In Peace Friends
