Reunion in Fremont Nebraska

We did have a very good reunion.  It was wonderful spending a little time with some long standing friends.  Ron and Em Scheer led us out into the boon doggles Friday night for a meet and greet cocktail party.  So many good snacks.  My granddaughter, Jacqui, and her friend, Amanda Dawson, traveled with us and helped drive; excellent drivers.  They looked pretty at the party and the next night at the dinner.  Ron and Em were both in my class, which by the way was 60 not 65 years ago.  They were honor students, lived in Fremont since then and have a big, good family. 

This was the first apartment that Nancy lived in when she was married. The windo on the upper right is the location of the apartment.

Marge Johnson and Beth Kindler came north over the Platte River to attend school in Fremont that many years ago.  Both looked fantastic and are still going strong.  We have pictures, but they seem to escape us when we try and load on to the site.  Marge lived in west Nebraska for several years where she married a veterinarian, Doc.  They retired to Arizona and were active there until Doc was lost and Marge returned to Fremont to be close to family and old friends.  Beth and her husband, David, owned a local restaurant, famous for their fried chicken.  Both have busy families and I got to meet Beth's youngest son at the first party.  Beth had her daughter and I had Ernie in the same hospital in the same week way back when.

Jo Ann Gaughan and her husband Bill were there, looking good.  Bill is recovering from a broken hip that took up much of their time last year.  Jo Ann was my maid of honor when I married 60 years ago.  1952 was a busy year.  There were many more I had not seen for years.  Name tags were a good thing.  We have had good people in our class and they are still around, all the way from as far as Australia.  Part of the dinner was a memorial for lost classmates, 65 out of about 300 plus of us.  They read the names and there were too many good people on the list. 

Nancy and granddaughter and friend place roses on ancestor graves.

This was the last hurrah for the summer.  June started in May when we went to Port Aransas in South Texas and ended with the reunion in July.  We are all used up and plan on rest and austerity in July.  We have been too well fed at events and gatherings.  Love you all, new friends and old as dirt friends.
