May God be with Carol and her family.

Gary Libby

Sorry to hear this, I sure remember Carol as a good friend. From a fellow Harvey/Lakewood buddy, I pray you will get thru this fight with cancer and enjoy many good years to come. I know what it's like to hear the C word, scary, but you are a tough lady. May Jesus and your family hold your hand thru this!

Richard Berryman (Berryman)

GOD AS A JOURNEY FOR ALL OF US . I JUST HOPE THAT CAROL HAS A PEACEFUL ONE, AND HER FAMILY HAVE THE STRENGTH TO ENDURE DURING THIS TROUBLE TIMES. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH HER AND HER FAMILY. 

Robert Lambert

  May GOD grant you strength and peace of mind in this trying time. We all know that we will not reach the New Heaven and New Earth without passing through this portal. Thoughts and prayers always.

OH SO SORRY TO HEAR THIS---------REST IN PEACE CARROL-OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY. GOD WILL HELP YOU DURNING THESE HARD TIMES.

Derrick’s Facebook Post this morning.

 Update on the funeral plans for my Mom Carol Slone: Dad and I will have a private viewing of her and our personal goodbye on Wednesday afternoon at 1 pm at Palm Mortuary on 800 S. Boulder Highway in Henderson. Sometime after that she will be cremated. Approximately a week after that a memorial service will be held in a chapel at that Palm Mortuary location. A Catholic priest will preside over the service and I will deliver a eulogy. The service will conclude with all of us who will attend walking out of the chapel to the cemetery where there will be a final goodbye ceremony with the priest blessing the remains of both my Mom and my brother Jason at the location of their internment. Once the ceremony is concluded we will depart from the cemetery and both my Mom and my brother will be laid to rest. I will make an announcement on the memorial service when a firm date and time are set. Thank you all for your support and kindness to me and my family during this time of profound sadness and grief. It means the world to us.

My sincere condolences to Carol's family.  We have also lost my life long friend Karen Revord.  She was such a kind and loving woman.  She always had a wonderful smile and great laugh in the the face of many hardships since her stroke.  I will remember her with gratitude and love.

Patricia Nevala

So sorry to hear about the passing of Karen Revord.  She made it to the 50th reunion in spite of her physical challenges.  It was good to see her.

Classmate Diana Dagenais Haglund died Friday, July 31st.  Her obituary on the bjorkandzhulkie.com website gives her graduation date as 1964 but she is listed as a 1965 graduate in the Tatler and in my database.  Go to the funeral home website for a full obituary.  A Celebration of Life will be on Friday, August 7th.

A typo - it's Diane, not Diana.

Bonnie Maves (Reedy)

We are in the U.P.. It is hot today!  I am so sorry about the recent passings of our classmates. We haven't seen anyone except family but I think I saw John T. and Kaye H. at the band concert. Everyone was wearing masks. Skip, if you read this would you call my sister.  Beaver took down another Birch at camp. Need advice. 

Richard Johnson

It's over 2 months since anyone has posted.   Did the world end?  I missed that memo.       Fall in Milwaukee.

Karen Wright (Lancaster)

I for one have not been sitting still.  In an effort to 'get out of Dodge' when all transportation is shut down I decided to dig my way to the other side of the world.  I've got a good start.  

Albert (Chuck) Langlois

Sorry for the delay in posting...nothing really happening of great consequence...venturing to different locations and gatherings that don't contain the possibility of contamination...visiting 4 people who I have known for over 30 years and trust to the hilt, places of worship that are outside and contain the same 4 people,  grandchildren a few days a week, and reading, reading reading.  

I've come to realize at this date that this too shall come to pass, but it is up to science and medicine to provide the solutions of this horrible pandemic.  This I have no control over and there lies the frustration.  The other frustrating part is that this thing is eating away at my "Golden Years" and eroding my bucket list.  Damn it anyway!

So salutations to all of you in the hope you are all doing as well as can be expected and you are safe and wearing your masks and social distancing.  

Hoping to seeing all of you at the next reunion gathering, I reamain,  your friend,

Chuck

Beautiful day in the UP. Enjoy it while you can. 

As for current events get ready to VOTE if you haven't already. Some of you are for one canidate and some for the other and some who don't like either one but by not voting you may get the one you like the least. Vote or you may lose the right to ever vote again. 

Please VOTE.

Patricia Nevala

It's been a dry spell on the website, that's for sure.  Does anyone have any memories of high school that might start a lively discussion?  We've had some really funny memories in the past.   

Robert Lambert

   Once upon a time in the MID-west there was an old fart named Bob. He seemed to have dropped off the earth and some dear friends, all beautiful ladies, started to inquire as to his health. Finally he had to break his silence and let all know he was still alive and ...well.......well and still living in Marquette. Hi all, here I am!!!

Karen Wright (Lancaster)

Glad to see you are back.  Hope all is ok.  

Robert Lambert

  Get ready to head for the hills, people. I truly delieve we are closer to armageddon than ever before. No matter who wins this ellection we are in for a rough time. Could we be in a fight for our constitutional rights, or another civil war?! We need to get rid of carreer polititions and get back to basics. A government of the people, by the people and FOR the people. Not a government that caters to big business and taxes us to death.

   Yes guys, I'm on my soap box again. I find no middle ground. What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. I'll go no further than that...for now.

Richard Berryman (Berryman)

YES BOB, I AM A NRA MEMBER THEY WILL NOT TAKE MY GUNS AWAY WITH OUT A FIGHT. OR MY SOCIAL SECURITY I HAVE WORKED TO HARD AND LONG FOR.. IN FACT I AM STILL WORKING TO MAKE THING GREAT FOR MY FAMILY.

I HOPE EVERY ONE IS DOING OK TILL WE CAN ALL MEET AGAIN AND I DO NOT MEAN IN  HEAVEN. SORRY BUT I SURE WISH THINGS WERE LIKE THEY WERE IN THE 1960 ERA.

To help make  an informed decision on who to vote for, you might want to take this quiz.   https://www.isidewith.com/elections/2020-presidential-quiz I  know some vote for one party on another because they have associated with that party.  If you answer the questions in the quiz honestly the way you feel, not what you think “ your party” stands for, you may be surprised.

Richard Johnson

Locked and loaded in Milwaukee.  I certainly believe we are in for a civil war.  pelosi was caught on an open mic on Friday saying that no matter what the election results are biden will be the president.  That it doesn't matter what the people say.  And she has remarked before that the constitution is just a scrap of paper.  Yesterday in Flint biden said much the same thing as pelosi.  That no matter what the election results are he will be the president and that he doesn't need your votes.  He told that to the vast crowd that came to hear Obama and him.  All 59 people.  On a lighter note, he fell asleep at the rally while Obama was introducing him.  Obama had to call him 3 times before he woke and stood up.  🤣

Ronald Raisanen

Many things can be said and taken out of context. Like Biden saying I will raise taxes if you make over 400,000 dollars a year. Republican ads always leave out the part about over $400,000. So everything someone posts I take with a grain of salt. I would be happy to pay more in taxes if it meant that I make that much a year. 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but nobody should be spouting violance because their party didn't win.
