In Memory

As the committee compiles the list of classmates, we are reminded of those who have died. Our list includes:

• Kenny Jones
• John Muselman:  9/29/1952 - 10/05/2004
• Marilyn Patterson
• Tom Schindler
• Randy Toland
• Bruce Weimer

Is there someone we have missed? Use the comment section below or send an email to southadamsclassof1970@gmail.com to let us know.

Now we're working on the list of classmates who at one time or another were part of our class but not necessarily senior year. We want to welcome these individuals to our 45th reunion. For example, off and on through our twelve years of school, Joyce Burkhalter attended school with us while her family was home on furlough from India. Joyce was a sophomore the last time she was with our class. Then there are some who attended school with us for many years but moved before senior year. At least two in that category are Janet DiGerolamo and Kevin Hanni. The list goes on. In fact it is a little surprising how much turnover there was during our high school years.

If you're still in contact with someone who was part of our class but didn't graduate with us, extend am invitation to that classmate to join us in September.

Mark your calendar for Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26, 2015 to celebrate our 45th Class Reunion. The reunion is open to friends and classmates of the Class of 1970 and their guests. The committee is planning many events with the list below giving you an idea what will be happening. Details will be shared with you through this blog as they are completed. Feel free to comment on what is being planned and send us other ideas.

The first event starts at 6:30 p.m. on Friday night in the event center at the Clock Tower Inn on the north edge of Berne. This is shaping up to be an evening that makes it easy to interact with lots of classmates. It will be casual and fun with stress-free team games. There will be a small fee to cover the cost of a picnic style meal. Soft drinks are provided but feel free to BYOB.

Several events are being planned for Saturday:

• Men's informal breakfast at a local restaurant; pay and order off the menu
• Golf Scramble at Wabash Valley Golf Club in Geneva; going golf rates 
• Ladies Brunch from 9:30-11:30 a.m. (location to be determined); small charge for food
• Bowling from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at Spare Time Lanes in Berne (create your team and compete against others OR for those who bowl once or twice a decade, randomly join a team of your classmates and have a great time OR be a spectator and be amazed or amused by the bowling skills of those courageous enough to participate); bowling and shoe rental fees paid individually; volunteers will bring munchies but beverages must be purchased at the bowling alley
• Catered dinner, 7:00-10:00 p.m.; Geneva Community Center, caterer and cost to be determined

The goal is to have 80% of our classmates attend at least one of these events.

Leave a quick comment or just your name so we know you're aware of the dates. We're using technology as much as possible but will send information to classmates who don't use social media.

Looking forward to a great weekend,
Your Committee:
