Wedding Bells Ring Again

 

Tina Hollingsworth and John McDonald

Tina and John had dated in high school then drifted apart after graduation (sounds familiar). They saw each other at the 50th reunion, but it was at the 51st that they connected.  John popped the question in early July 2018.  And on October 12, 2023, they finally - FINALLY - made it official!

Best wishes to a great couple!

 

RIP Mary Frances Camasso

 

RIP Muriel Herbert

 

Incorrect Information

 I had been given information back in 2019 that Jim Keiper had passed away many years ago.  Thanks to Tina Hollingsworth and a Facebook group to which she belonged, we have found out that Jim is still alive and well, living in Oregon.  This has been confirmed by his sister, wife, and an old friend.

So now I can take Jim off our deceased list, and proudly add him to our list of veterans.

RIP Lois Degen

 

RIP Peggy Tull

60th Reunion - Save the Date

 The Class of '63 60th reunion will be held on Saturday, October 21, from 5-9 pm at The VE Club in Warminster.  

Address verification letters are being sent out - when you get yours, please respond as quickly as possible.  

We are still in the planning stage.  We are looking into activities for Friday night, October 20, and a Sunday, October 22, farewell brunch.  As things are finalized, we will be posting information.

Invitations will be sent sometime in the summer, probably around August.

Looking forward to seeing as many as possible at this big event!

RIP ROBIN WRIGHT

59th Reunion

We had our 59th mini-reunion on October 8 at Guiseppe's in Warminster.  We had a smaller turn-out than we have had in the past, but we still had fun.

We caught up on the past year and talked about our big reunion - #60 - next year.  I heard a few ideas about the type of reunion we should have.  I want to send out a questionnaire sometime next year to all the classmates to get suggestions.  Since 60 will probably be our last reunion, it needs to be special.

It seems we were too busy visiting to take a lot of pictures.  Thanks to Tina and John for the ones they took.

There's Tom Goodnow, Bonnie Mills' main squeeze, and Gary and Shirley (Bolmarcich) O'Hara

Gary Addy making a point with Ron Lear (probably discussing their 60th reunion the week before). At the food table - Bill Ischinger, Bonnie (Mills) Rausch, me, and Sue (Ritchie) Lear.

Bonnie and John McDonald in a serious discussion.  In the back, Nancy (Telmosse) Lyons and Judy (Miller) Reinmiller.  And our waitress!

Ron buying some 50/50 tickets from me, with Allan Brandt handling the money.

I'm trying to find something on a phone, with Joyce (Argue) Huffert and Carol Ann (McClure) Sleight watching attentively.  John's too busy with his phone to offer assistance.

Two dudes and a doll - Tony Pileggi, Allan, and Joyce

Sue, Peggy (Tull) Addy, and Ron.  

Our official Golden Bear, thank to John

It was nice to see Bill Ischinger again this year.

Ray Roberts and me - caught with food in our mouths!

Don  Buehler and Peggy with Denny Johnson hiding behind Don.

Denny and Joan (Freeland) McGowan guarding the food, while Nancy, Judy and I are patiently waiting for our turn.

Tony - when are you going to start looking your age??  Don and Linda (Colbeck) Hoberg wonder the same thing.

John McGowan (Joan's husband) joined us this year and grabbed Tina Hollingsworth for a cute picture.

 

 

Denny and Joan. Is she winking at us?

Another cutie - Allan

Denny, Bonnie, and Tom enjoying lunch.

Say cheese, Tina!  Allan lost in thought.  Don praying while Linda looks on.  Bill waiting for more food!

Sue, Peggy, and Gary.  I think that's Tony on the left.  Don, Linda, and Bill having a meaningful discussion.

You should be able to identify all of us in this one,  I'm the one with the fat arms!

Tina is trying to figure out what Allan is thinking about.

Happy Don, Linda, and Bill

The O'Hara's and the McGowan's

Shirley won the 50/50 this year!

Tony explaining something to Ron

Joyce and Carol Ann looking at me as if I have the answers.  Nope!  Nancy just ignoring all of us!

Mini-reunion #59 finished.  Get ready for our big #60 next year!

59th Mini-Reunion

Time for #59! This is the invitation being posted on Facebook and emailed to those classmates for whom I have an email address. As these mini-reunions usually only bring in classmates who live in the area, I am not doing a full mailing.

UMHS Class of 63

59^th Mini-Reunion

Wow! 59 years already! Who's ready for another little get-together? Must be fully vaccinated.

This year, we will be at Guiseppe's on Street Road in Warminster. The date is October 8, from 12:00-4:00 pm.

Appetizers around 1:00, lunch buffet shortly after. We'll do a 50/50 again (6 tickets/$5). We need to build up the fund for a big blow-out next year for #60.

Because of rising prices all over, we need to charge $25/person this year. Sorry about that. Soft drinks, coffee, and cake are included.

I need a final count soon, so please send your check and the bottom part of this invitation ASAP to:

Recital Time

Bonnie Mills, while going through old papers and stuff, found the following program from a piano recital in 1958, and sent it along to me.  Starring Bonnie Mills, Carole Lehman, and James McGhee.

Funny the things you learn about your spouse years later!

Congratulations, Judy!

An all-around athlete, Judy (Miller) Reinmiller (center) was inducted this year into the UMHS Sports Hall of Fame.  Judy was a member of the hockey team (captain in her senior year), basketball team (co-captain in her senior year), softball team, and volleyball team.  She was also in the Gym Show during junior and senior year.

We're super proud of you, Judy.

I need to give a shout-out to Tony Pileggi for posting the above picture on Facebook.  His daughter, Paula (second from right) was also inducted.  And in past years, Christian and Brenda Lear, children of Sue (Ritchie) and Ron Lear also joined this elite group.

Here are a couple pictures uploaded from the UMHS Alumni Facebook site:

Way to go, Judy!
