Our dear friend and classmate, Bonnie Henchbarger Powell, suffered another stroke recently but is now back home after being treated at the Clearfield Hospital.I spoke with Bonnie and her husband, Ed, this morning, and she said she is looking forward to seeing her classmates soon.
Bonnie has full command of her speech, and is able to converse by phone.
For those who would like to wish her a full and speedy recovery, here is her contact information:

May 20, 1925 - The Progress
Delicious ice cream, icy root beer from a giant barrel, giant milkshakes, unusual flavors such as Teaberry? And if you didn't have a refrigerator, they would sell you a big block of ice for your basement or ice box.
Notice how beautifully this ad is written. (Click on photo to read the copy.)
Keystone was owned by classmate Tom O'Day's family - believe it was his grandfather or uncle.
Those were the days.

CAHS planning group to meet Saturday, April 13
The CAHS planning group will meet on Saturday,
April 13, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. in the Clearfield Hospital cafeteria.
The location has been moved from the first-floor conference room to the
cafeteria because of a scheduling conflict.
Note to class members, including St.
Francis: Please plan to attend if at all
possible. We’d love to have your
participation and your input. It’s also
a great opportunity to reconnect with your classmates.
By way of review, here are the notes from
the most recent meeting last October:
An informal class picnic will be held Aug. 17, 2013 at the K of C picnic area. A deposit has been paid and the reservation confirmed.
The group voted unanimously to hold a 55th-year reunion at the Clearfield Knights of Columbus. Every effort will be made to minimize the workload for the reunion planners and to keep the cost as low as possible for attendees. A deposit has been paid to the K of C and the reservation confirmed.
Sam Lansberry once again graciously volunteered to hold a Friday night ice-breaker at his and Sandy's country home the evening before the reunion. Thank you, Sam and Sandy!
The Shepherd's Program (in which we attempt to keep in touch with all class members) will continue as the group leaders feel is appropriate. Thank you, Tom O'Day, for heading this effort.
Tom handed the leadership reins to Dennis Mollura for the coming year, Oct. 2012 to Oct. 2013.
Suzy Sherkel Nagle volunteered to serve as chair for the following year, Oct. 2013 to Oct. 2014.

Phone conversation with Mr. Fenchak
I had a marvelous phone conversation today with Mr. Paul Fenchak, our 9th-grade English teacher.
He and his wife live in Lutherville, MD, a suburb of Baltimore.
Now in his Eighties, he's still sharp with a good memory. We talked about his baseball playing days in and around the Moshannon Valley (I recall he was an excellent pitcher and batter), the old-timer baseball stories that he and I put together when I worked at The Progress, and our days together in the Junior High classroom.
He also had some keen observations about Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno, and why nobody at the University blew the whistle on Sandusky going back to the late Nineties.
It felt good reconnecting with him after more than fifty years.
