October 12th Get together, month for tricks and treats. The group entered their names in the drawing for the Halloween Mystery Gift Bag. Ruth Conrad Miller was the lucking winner. She was now the proud owner of a black rat and five gray mice. Bob Hostler won the jar of candy corn, guessing the number of pieces in the jar. We had fun as we played Halloween Trivia.
We celebrated the birthdays of Ruth Conrad Miller, Bob Himes, and Jerome Miller. Hoss's waiters and waitresses sang their birthday theme song and presented them with individual birthday cakes to take home.
Jenny also shared joy with the group about Dick and Nancy Wertz's 25th Wedding Anniversary gift of twin grandsons born on September 28th. (Caleb and Lucas)
A sadder note, Lucille Hall Lane is back in the Altoona Hospital and not doing well. Keep her in your prayers.
The group decided that we will take up a donation for the CHRISTMAS CAROL FOUNDATION from classmates of '62. Also, we will be bringing can goods to November's Get together for the BELLWOOD FOOD SHARE PROGRAM showing our thanks for what we have.
If you are bored from staying home all the time, meet us at Hoss's for a fun evening. Monday, Noverber 9th at 6:00.

SEPTEMBER FUN
Observing Grandparents Day:
September 14, Classmates and spouses gather together for another evening of fun at Hoss's Restaurant. Grandparent's was the main topic of discussion as National Grandparents Day was observed Sunday, September 13th. A holiday signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Jenny shared several short stories about grandchildren and grandparents giving the group some good laughs.
You reminded everyone that you do not need grandchildren to be a grandparent. Schools have Volunteer Grandparent Programs for Senior Citizens that read and work with small children at school. Some children think a grandparent is an older person with no kids of their own.
Grandparents are GOD'S gift to children. Nobody can do for little children what grandparents can do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children and make everything just right. Be the best grandparent you can be by making memory together.
Merle Barger's wife Ann surprised Merle with a large birthday cake, celebrating his 65th birthday. Hoss's also presented Pat Shirley and Merle with an individual birthday cake to take home.
Pat Shirley presented a book to the class that she wrote and published. It is titled-
THE BOOK of LUKE (A Soldier's Story) A story about the Battle of Gettysburg, a pivotal moment in the Civil War as she reconstructs the life of her ancestor and descendants during an important time in the history of our country.
