CLASS MINI REUNION
July 31st a celebration was held at the Bellwood fire Hall Banquet Room as classmates celebrated being 65 and Alive. A total of sixty people enjoyed the evening in a very relaxed atmosphere socialising with classmates they hadn't seen in 48 years.
A class group picture was taken outside in the Community Emergency Services Park across from the Fire Hall.
The stuffed chicken breast dinner served by the Fire Hall auxiliary was excellent.
Gifts of donations from area businesses where given to everyone present.
The following items were donated by classmates and Del Grosso and auctioned off by our class auctioneer John Cook and helpers John & Jim Helsley.
- BLUE & GOLD HAND MADE QUILT
- ITALIAN BASKET
- AMERICANA BASKET
- BLAIR COUNTY BASKET
A 50-50 ticket sale and the auction was held to make money towards our Fiftieth Class Reunion in 2012, which brought in a total of $564.
Class President Dick Wertz shared his memories of the kids from the other side of the tracks. North Side kids verses South Side Kids.
A tribute to Class President was presented by Jenny in a comedy skit to the words and music "She's Got You" by Patsy Cline.
Matt Caporuscio, DJ played music of the sixty's throughout the evening.
If you didn't attend the reunion , you missed a great evening of fun. Make plans to attend our Fiftieth in 2012. It will probably be our last big reunion.

CLASSMATES CELEBRATE FATHER'S DAY EARLY
Celebrating Father's Day with Classmates:
June 14, Classmates joined together at our usual monthly meeting place (Hoss's).
We enjoyed dinner and celebrated the birthdays of Kay Hornberger Pfahler and Jack Oswald with song and Hoss's complimentary individual birthday cakes.
We were glad to see Merle Barger join us after being in the hospital for two weeks and diagnosed with cancer. he will be having Chemo and Radiation treatment at John Murtha Hospital in Johnstown. Walt Carothers' wife Judy joined us and was doing well after having hip replacement surgery.
Jenny shared several jokes with the group about father's using several classmates names that brought on the laughter. Then we played Father's Trivia Questions with information that was new to some of us.
Father's Day started back in 1910, and the custom of giving a necktie as a gift on Father's Day began. Since then, the modern man defines neckties as (bright colored complicated oxygen restricting knot.) Today men refuse to wear ties and some do not remember or know how to tie a tie. That is what brought this fun idea to my mind. We had women tie the tie on the man without instructions from him for help. A demonstration was given twice before the contest started. Pictures were taken and we had a lot of fun, there were only a few that pasted the test. Prizes were given out to the winners. Kathy Madara did a wonderful job on John Cook's tie but forgot to put his collar down. Jane McGinnis did a beautiful job with Jerry's tie. Ann Barger tied John Helsley's tie and did a great job. Some of the ties the top piece was tie shorter than the under piece. If you need your tie tied don't ask Kathie Cross, she didn't do well with Harold Miler's tie. It was a lot of fun and was the highlight of the evening.
Jenny planned another Bus Trip for the class for Wednesday, September 29, 2010. The bus will take us to Hawley, PA. We will board a train for a Fall Foliage Train Ride, Dinner at Ehrhardt's Waterfront Resort, and a Live Comedy Show. There are still a few seats on the bus.
We will not be meeting for dinner at Hoss's in July because of the Mini Class Reunion at the Bellwood Fire Hall on Saturday, July 31, 2010. The Reunion Committee has planned an eventful evening. Group photo will be taken at 6:00!
Check out the pictures below of the tie tying contest.

April 12, Get Together
APRIL 12, 2010, Getting together for the evening.
We had a good time as we played the game, "DID YOU EVER?" That is a game of questions.Example: "Did you ever lock your self out of your house?"the questions and jokes brought on a lot of laughs.
We also discussed the Mini Reunion that will take place on Saturday, July 31. at the Bellwood Fire Hall Party room. The reunion committee has been working with plans for a great evening to be had by all that attend.
Before Bob Himes received his dinner, he received a call to assist the fire company with his bulldozer to help distinguish a forest fire on Brush Mountain.
We celebrated Suzanne Woomer Stehley's birthday. No pictures were taken.

MARCH, A PARADE OF CLASSMATES CAME TOGETHER!
As we gathered together for the evening and ate dinner, we celebrated the birthday's of Kathie Cross McConnell and Beverly McGinnis Hollabaugh with individual birthday cakes for them to take home. Compliments of Hoss's.
Jenny told a few jokes and them described how our mind works as we age and how we look at things differently throughtout the aging periods of life. The example she used was about a man working on a project and before he could finish, he must make a trip to the store for something to complete the project he was doing. Ages of the man were divided into 10 year periods, describing our appearences before leaving the house and how our priorities change. We all change as we age.
When we first fell in love, we couldn't keep our hands off each other. We were always hugging, kissing and holding hands. As we age, TODAY, we sometimes neglect to do so. That is what gave Jenny the idea for the entertainment for the evening. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE HELD HANDS?
If you were blindfolded, could you identify your spouse's hands out of a group of others? The women sat in a circle in the center of the room. A man was blindfolded and lead around the group of women feeling hands until he choose the ones he thought was his spouse. After the men took their turn, we gave the women the same challenge. Did I forget to tell you? After the person was blindfolded those sitting in the seats would change places. It was more difficult than you would think. Sorry to say only one man identified his wife's hand by feel. That was John McConnell. Three women identified their husbands. Sue Brubaker choose Kenny's,Alice Oswald choose Jack's, and Pat Helsley choose John's. We all had a great time.
LET US ALL SPEND MORE TME HOLDING OUR SPOUSES HAND.
March Get together 2010
