36 classmates, family & friends enjoy Class of '59 picnic

The day was perfect - sunny, not too warm, a gentle breeze, and great food and fellowship as a total of 36 classmates, friends and family enjoyed the 2012 class picnic on Saturday, August 4, at Parker Dam State Park.

Here were some of the comments and reactions following the event:

Good times! Many thanks to all who contributed so much to the weekend gathering (s).....your work is greatly appreciated. I didn't speak to anyone who was anything less than enthusiastic ... At breakfast Orvie Kline’s lady asked if we had been the best of friends during school & I had to admit that many of us did little more than speak during that time.......with age comes wisdom!

I agree with y'all. It was a great get-together. By my count there were 36 people/16 classmates at the picnic: Joyce (Amon) and Dave Michaels, Gary Bolton, Bonnie (Henchbarger) and Ed Powell, Wilda Homman Williams, Orvis Kline and lady friend Di Negrin, Peggy Jo (Knepp) and Bob Thompson, Lonnie and Helen Kovalick, Norman Kyler, Herb and Joann Maney, Denny and brother Dan Mollura, Joyce (Moody) Fletcher and Mick Hoover, Tom O'Day + 8 family members, Judi (Rolley) and Denny White, Suzy (Sherkel) and Karl Nagle, Joanne (Shimel) and Bill Magnuson, Wil and Karen Shirey.

We really enjoyed the picnic, friendship, and conversation. It was great seeing everyone and spending a very nice relaxing day with friends.

What a fun time ...at the gathering at Parker Dam. We drove by the dam when we left and it seemed to me to be so much smaller than it was when we were in school. Time changes things I guess

Thanks again for a wonderful weekend & I personally look forward to many more.

I thought Saturday's event was outstanding in every respect:

- The Parker Dam location and pavilion were , in my opinion, excellent choices.

- Travel time from Clearfield was an easy drive of only about 20-25 minutes.

- The pavilion was clean, comfortable and provided excellent shelter from the sun and any rain that may have occurred late in the afternoon.

- There was an abundance of food and fellowship. Everyone who attended was well-fed and seemed to have a good time.

- Clean-up was was quick and efficient with a minimum of fuss.

- We expended no money from the treasury save for a modest fee for the pavilion and a one-time mailing to classmates in the spring.

The Class of '59 planning group will meet again on Saturday,  October 13, in the Clearfield Hospital conference room to receive and discuss suggestions for possible future events.   All classmates are invited and, in fact, encouraged to attend.   We need everyone's input!

Last call for our class picnic on Saturday!

Our CAHS Class of 1959 picnic will be held Saturday, August 4, at Pavilion # 2 at Parker Dam State Park near Penfield.

This year's event will be an old-fashioned family picnic and  opportunity to relax and get together with classmates and friends. The pavilion is ours from 8 a.m. to sunset.  All pavilions have picnic tables and grills for charcoal, and most have electricity.  We plan to eat around 1 p.m., but you may set your own schedule.

The area around the pavilion is paved and restrooms are available.

 

See you at Parker Dam!

 

 

Pellerite family "wonderful busy" this summer

Hi!

I'm sorry this is so late in getting back to you. We will be unable to attend St Francis '59 get together.

Have a wonderful time and say "hi" to everyone for us.

We have been busy all summer and it's not letting up yet!   However, it is wonderful busy.

We graduated our #11 child (our baby) from college, followed by a granddaughter's First Communion, then a baptism of another granddaughter, a baby shower for #19 grandchild, Family vacation, Chuck's 71st birthday (his granddaughter told him now he's as old as her school bus--it's number 71 too!), high school graduation of yet another granddaughter and awaiting the birth of our new grandchild to be.

Take care.

Charles and Diane Pellerite

August 3 - Happy birthday, Ronald Potter!
