It is with a heavy heart I convey the news of the death of a Class of ’67
member; Mike Solomon. (Mike passed May 24th, 2008). Mike,
fortunately, attended the 40th last Oct. he even gave me a
musical CD of songs of the era. (I can make it available to you if
interested). Mike was buried in the Jewish Community (Lombardy) Cemetery on
Foulk Rd (near the access road to 202-directly across from Blue Ball Barn)
and, as a Vietnam Viet received full military honors. I’m reminded of the
Tom Joad line from The Grapes of Wrath; “Well, maybe it's like
Casy says. A fella ain't got a soul of his own, just a little piece of a big
soul - the one big soul that belongs to ever'body”. Mike belonged to the
collective soul of the Class of 1967. He will be missed. (I've posted a
section on the Message
Board for anyone
to leave their comments/memories about Mike). Mike's obit can be read
on the In Memoriam page.
Respectfully, Kevin Donohue
Classmate and all around great
guy, John C. Schwind III
has passed (2.12.08) after a long bout with cancer.

(Pls note; A special "baseball
flower arrangement" on behalf of the Class of '67 was sent to the Schwind family
by committee member Pat Walker Fox). The following note was sent me recently by
John's wife:
"Dear
Kevin,
I am
sorry to be so long contacting you, but want to let you know how much
everything you and the Class of '67 did for John meant to us both. We
were looking forward to the reunion and John was very disappointed when he
was not able to attend. He loved the packet you sent from the reunion -
he was really touched that you would go out of your way to do that.
Over
the last couple of years, he enjoyed keeping in touch by email with
several of his classmates. He would have loved the large basket that the
Class sent to his funeral. The beautiful blue & white mums and the
ever-so-cute Bulldog!! Very cleaver!!!
I
hope you will pass this on to all involved - we received so many nice
notes from classmates all over the country expressing sympathy and telling
stories about John. Thanks to all for the support and thoughtfulness!!
Sincerely,
Linda Schwind"

For the 35th Reunion and again for the 40th reunion, very special thanks go to
four amazing classmates & friends: Pat
(Walker) Fox, Linda
(Fuhrmeister) Potter, SHERRY (CHAPMAN) GRIZZEL
& MARILYN (MONSON) NIMTZ. Without the tireless help of
these selfless, talented and dedicated individuals,
the
35th
