Class of 1967 in 2019: 

2 Years after the 50^th Year Reunion

Classmates Continue To Gather

Thursday Dinner, August   7, 2019  at Gilligan's Restaurant

Saturday Lunch,  August 10, 2019  at The Wharf Grill

(See Pics Below)

Even for 2 years after The 50th Year Class Reunion of the Class of 1967, we continue to gather and share opportunities for classmates to connect and reconnect.  Time moves on and we are 52 years since being at Bishop McDevitt in 1967.  The once great building that we went to school in for 4 years may not be the same and showing its age, we are still strong and growing in many ways. 

     On Wednesday evening, August 7, 2019, we gathered  at Gilligan's Restaurant (Bar & Grill) in Colonial Park, a very pleasant place with very good food and a semi-private dining area for us.  It was well attended and a great time was had.  

     On Saturday afternoon, August 10, 2019, we gathered at The Wharf Restaurant (Bar and Grill) in Rutherford, another very pleasant place with very good food and a private dining area for us.  It was well attended and a great time was had.  

Sue Camplese Herman and her husband Gary continue to be the fire starters and keep the flames burning for our class in organizing all of our gatherings. 

We had a good turn out for both gatherings. For the 2 events, we had 26 classmates and 11 spouses.  Some attended 1 event, some attended both events.  Others could not attend for illness, trips, and other, but we had many greetings from 7 classmates.  If you cannot attend, it's great to hear from you so we can stay in touch.

An interesting thing is happening.  The spouses are becoming friends of the classmates.  That's a great spin-off from gathering as a class.

Here's the list of who attended and sent greetings

***** GOOD NEWS *****

Supporting one another is an important reason why we continue to meet as the McD Class of 67 

Karen and Len

Len Yoder, husband of Karen Starsinic Yoder, is healthy again after being involved in a serious motor cycle accident about a year ago.  Len spent many intense days in the ICU and more days in the hospital.  He is fully recovered.  He has not ridden his undamaged Harley since, but he expects to sometime.  Karen expressed her thanks to classmates for their thoughts and prayers through that difficult "touch and go", life-threatening time. During Len's recovery she posted the following:  "I truly believe in miracles and prayers making them happen. Len will have a long recovery but he's doing so much better. Thank you!"

VICTORS!! Over the years we have had several classmates who have been victorious in their fight with cancer:

• Joanne Kastelic (5 years since treatments),
• Marcia Barbush Yarnell (1 year since treatments),
• Terry Navarro Govelovich (only months since treatments).  
• Any others?

RENEWERS!!  There are some who have had various parts replaced an repaired and they keep on keepin' on.  I won't mention any names.

  

***** SPECIAL REMEMBRANCE *****

Our classmates are greatly missed.

This is another important reason why we continue to gather as the McD Class of 67.  Each gathering is a special time when we can spend time with one another.
