Hello Classmates,
 
Hope that you are doing well since we last touched base with each other.  
 
Right now, we are in the initial phase of planning our next milestone birthday party (75 yrs!).  Hope that you were satisfied with our 70th birthday festivities.  We will try to accommodate everyone's suggestion(s), but you must first let us know what's on your mind and/or heart.
 
Since many of us have completely retired, we thought it better to move the month up to August.  Beverly is wondering if a one day liquor permit is necessary for us to purchase.  Let us know, there is plenty of time to apply for it.
 
What would you like to eat?  Please don't suggest that anyone cook or bring goodies.  Pandemic panic put a freeze on that option - period.  Anyway, reply with your suggestion(s), whether negative and/or positive to our email at your earliest convenience.
 
Those of you in the East, West, North and South, climate change is real.  Be safe, stay as healthy as possible, and if you believe in a Higher Power, be thankful.  Time to think about that short poignant movie on our website about "The Dash Movie".
 
Other than that,  take care of yourself.  Don't forget to make suggestions for our birthday celebration.
 
Thanks a bunch. 
 
Touch base with you sooner or later.

August, 2022
Dearest Classmate,
 

 

We apologize for our delayed 55th class reunion announcement. We sincerely hope that this email finds you enjoying your day to the fullest for your situation in life.   

 

It is with great joy that we invite you to attend our 2022 Virtual Visions Reunion. The Pre-Social, the Summer Social, and the After Social.  We're calling it a "Summer Social" because it will be an informal affair times three.  We want every classmate to attend at least one of our Socials (PLEASE).   

 

Let's first discuss the "Pre Social" that will be held very, verysoon.  Have you ever attended a Zoom, or Google Meet?  Below is a tutorial from YouTube on how to participate on Zoom.  If you have a smart phone, a PC, tablet or laptop all have the capacity for video, audio and microphone transmissions.  We will be sending a link to join our "Pre Social" on Thursday, August 25th at 7:00 PM DST, Ohio time. Bring your smile, a decent background, and join us.  Hope to see you there.  Please don't be alarmed if something doesn't click on Zoom.  No video, and/or no audio-don't despair.  Send an email, we'll give you a recap.  Practice with someone if you'd like and set up a meeting.  It's free for forty minutes or less. Practice. Don't wait until the last minute. 

 

Next, the "After Social" is almost a mirror to the "Pre Social".  The "AfterSocial" will be held-duh! after the "Summer Social.”  Please join us with the new Zoom link on, Wednesday,September 21st at 7:00 PM DST Ohio time.  If you need any assistance with the Zoom, we are here to assist you.  Included with the tutorial links below, "Steps to downloading Zoom" is a great help for beginners.
OK, hope you're still onboard, now let's discuss the "
Summer Social".   

 

First of all, a quick shout out to our newest Committee member, Rod Siddall.  There's room for you too, dear classmate, long distance or nearby, we'd enjoy having you aboard.  Thank you for the word Rod, we're running with it.  Welcome dear friend.

Summer Social

 

 

Welcome to our Class of 1967  Summer Socialto be held on  Saturday, September 17th at5:00 PM  at the  Mustard Seed Café upstairs patio at Highland Square, 867 West Market Street.  Yes, where we had our Friday night 70th Birthday Celebration. The Summer Social will be a 'Buy what you'd like'. There is a fully stocked salad bar, fresh hot and cold food, beer, wine, spirits, and international groceries in the lower level Mustard Seed Market.  Purchases may be brought upstairs to the Café, or, just order from their extensive menu from their wait staff, or go up front and place your order.  You'll enjoy it either way.  We will purchase dry table snacks.  We mean potato chips, pretzels, nachos.  If you work it right, your out of pocket cost per person should be approximately twenty dollars ($20).  That's a savings of over forty dollars ($40) based on if we went to a restaurant and/or hotel.  Hold up now, put your savings aside for 2024, the '49ers will celebrate our 75th birthdays.
Well that's about it for our Virtual Visions 2022 55th Class Reunion.
We sincerely hope to see you in the physical sense, and/or cyber sense.
Whatever makes sense for you dear classmate.
Again, apologies for the delay. Also, your Committee member in charge of the website and FaceBook entries apologizes also for not updating our sites. She can do all things that give strength through Christ Jesus, and you can too.

 

Sincere Regards,  

Your

2020

Hello Classmate!
Hope you're having a great day and the final weeks of Summer 2020!
We are saddened by the senseless losses of dear lives our country has experienced these past days and years.  Human lives matter, otherwise God would not have created us.  Whether natural causes or unforeseen, death is a fact of life. We can only continue to pray and love one another because death and grief will one day affect us all. 
 
On a happier note!  The 2020 COVID19 Pandemic - LORD willing should be a conquered historical medical phenomenon of our past.  Just like polio, whooping cough, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, etc., prevelant in our youth, not obliterated now, but controlled.  

Class of 1967!  We are excited! We are trying our best to stay healthy, safe, and keeping our personal boundaries(aka social distancing).  We are looking forward to seeing you soon, whether it is virtual or in person.   It won't be too late to attend the celebration.  We will be happy to see you either way.  Anyone may join at our 'Vociferous Virtual Video Celebration', what shall we plan to do?
We can have a virtual Class Reunion meeting.  Can you believe in 2022 it will be our fifty-fifth (55th)!  If you have suggestions and/or comments please send them to us.
 We sincerely hope and pray that our Sensational Seventieth Birthday Party was not our last in person gathering.  We are all looking  forward to a better day.
Best Wishes, 
From 
JRBHS c/o 1967
