Following are my notes from our "first" planning meeting for the 50th Reunion on March 17 at the Shaw Library - not in any specific order:
In attendance were Chairperson "Herb" Maney, Suzy Nagle, Joyce Undercofler, Bonnie Powell and "Jessica"; also, Karl Nagle representing the "Spousal Group." Ed Powell returned to get Bonnie and "sat in" for a while and we all got to chat with him for a bit. At the outset it was discussed and agreed that committees need to be appointed for the various facets of the event planning with a meeting agenda.
The MOST IMPORTANT issue to be addressed, and ASAP, will be the location plus a caterer. Some locations suggested were the Clearfield Curwensville Country Club which is now being managed by Maynard "Scott" Morgan, who is the former owner of "Maynard's Restaurant" in Curwensville (across from the Curw. IGA.) "Scott" is also permitted to do catering at other locations should we choose not to have it at the Clfd. Curw. Country Club.
The weekend dates that Herb brought up on the computer for 2009 are: Friday, July 31, Sat. Aug. 01 and Sun. Aug. 02, 2009 Various issues that need handled are: A theme & decorations; hiring a photographer for the "class picture" or do we go with Paul Dale who took the picture for the 45th?? Also, what about a "Booklet Committee" (I mentioned that we will need a new supply of booklet/program covers.) We also discussed your question about a list of teachers who are still living - I'll contact the High School office and ask and get back to everyone on that - fyi - Bert Pritts and Harold Wilson are both deceased. However, Mr. Weiss is still living and in his own home in Goldenrod, to the best of my knowledge. Amazing guy!!
Suzy Nagle mentioned that Sue Weisshaus-Speicher suggested a website for the Class of '59 (and that's now a reality - thanks to Denny Mollura - Great job!) Other suggestions: A video of the evening's events to be captured (maybe Don Everist would be interested in this aspect since I think he did the video at Wil and Karen Shirey’s "Birthday Bash" and a good job at that.) Then make the video available (for purchase?) to anyone who couldn't make the reunion. In lieu of a band or DJ - a CD recording of music from the 50's & 60's to be played in the background and Joyce Shugarts Undercofler said she could do that. Herb mentioned that Patty McCoy Livelsberger has offered to make a craft of some sort - so she should be appointed to the "Gift(s) and Souvenir(s) Committee."
Herb said Patty talked to him about this at the "Bash" party. Wil earlier had requested that he and Tom O'Day be put on the fund-raising committee; and Suzy said to put Wil and her on the Entertainment Committee After I do a little more "digging," I'm to get back with Tom O'Day with the names of those who were unfound for the 45th + Amos Hixon. Tom volunteered his computer system to make the attempt at finding these individuals. Nice offer. Thanks, Tom.
It was brought to my attention that we have lost yet another classmate - Gerald J. Wisor who passed away on 02/15/. Thanks, Suzy Nagle, for telling me. I totally missed that one in The Progress.
The Shaw Library, Walker Conference Room is already scheduled for our "second" planning meeting on Sat., 06/23, 11 am - 1 pm. If there is anything I'm forgetting to do, please get back to me. Always, Joyce / aka "Jessica"
