Here is the second part of your 50th Reunion Invitation...

Will You Be Able To Join Our Advisor---Ruth Knoll---At The 50th Reunion of the "Class of '62?"

Ruth Knoll---our "Class of '62" Advisor---

plans to attend our upcoming 50th Reunion event. 

Here is the very busy Miss Knoll visiting with "Vocal Trash" after their performance at the Hartford Schauer Arts and Activity Center's "RUTH KNOLL THEATER." 

Miss Knoll is also beginning her 52nd season as director of the Hartford Community Chorus.

Isn't it interesting to note that Miss Knoll began her teaching career at Hartford Union High School in 1958---the same year that we started as "freshmen" there?

The "Class of '62" was the first class that she served as an advisor to. Miss Knoll has also attended many of our earlier class reunions---often leading us in a few songs.

Now, if Miss Knoll can "pencil us in" 

to attend the 50th Reunion of the "Class of '62," 

won't you too?

Our First 50th Reunion Planning Meeting---"BE THERE OR BE SQUARE"

Monday, February 13th, at 11:30 A.M., at The Mineshaft in Hartford should be "penciled in" on your social calendar for the first meeting of the "Class of '62" Reunion Committee.


ALL classmates and their spouses/friends are welcome.


"Monday's" just happen to be The Mineshaft's "Pizza & Pitcher Special" day------so try to squeeze in a little reunion planning while you eat, drink, and be merry.

MEETING TO PLAN REUNION COMING SOON!

Special message from Gary Schlieve:

"Well, is it almost time for [a 50th Reunion Planning Meeting]? We're busy, but always have time for pizza with friends...Bonnie, can you make it for an hour or so?? (Mar will 'spring' for your share, I'm sure!)...I'd suggest mid Feb, for our schedule. Kof, Where are you? What are you doing?? Maybe you could catch a ride 'home' with Bonnie...


We enjoyed Christmas with our entire family (11)...on a cruise ship in the Virgin Islands! It was my retirement gift from the 'kids'...guess I'll have to put them back in the will.


BEST DATES [for reunion planning meeting]: 13th, 14th [of February]...or 20th, 21st [of February].

Our Sympathy Is Extended...

    We extend our sympathy to our classmate, Cecile (Brath) Pfeifer, on the loss of her husband, Robert Pfeifer.

    Robert died on August 18, 2011, after a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer. 


    Cecile and Robert have lived in Hartford for many years. If you are in the Hartford area, you can attend Robert's funeral services on August 22nd at St. Lawrence Church, St. Lawrence, Wisconsin. Visitation is from 3:00 P.M. until the Mass of Christian Burial at 7:00 P.M. More information is available at the Shimon Funeral Home website at http://www.shimonfuneralhome.com/ .


    Cecile and Robert were not able to make our 45th high school reunion back in 2007, but Cecile sent the following cheery update:
    
"Can't make it this time. Not much has changed in my life since I retired. Bob & I are always busy, busy! I don't know where the time goes. I still enjoy my flower gardening and am always looking for a perennial that I don't have yet in my garden. Bob says, 'Don't you have enough flowers yet?' when I bring some more home. I would like one of each perennial there is, but I am running out of room. Oh, well. As for my husband, Bob, well, he's become addicted to golf. He just loves it. Me? Well, I tried it for three summers. I'd go with Bob, but I just couldn't get the ball off the ground. It was like I was mowing lawn with a golf club! Can't say I didn't try! Bob and I aren't much for traveling, although we did go to Canada this summer and Iowa too. But that's enough for awhile. We are always happy to get home again. Hope everyone has a great time at the reunion. Best wishes to all!"
    
    With a family of three children and seven grandchildren, we are certain that Cecile will have much loving support from them, along with the rest of their family and friends.
